Procedure to Clean Valves

To save time, check the condition of the valves before the valves are cleaned, ground, or measured.



Illustration 5g01334822
The valve on the left has not been cleaned. The valve on the right has been cleaned with the sodium bicarbonate method.

Solvents

If there is only a small amount of carbon residue on the valves, use a good cleaning solvent to clean the valves. Use one or more of the following methods to clean hard carbon deposits.

Sodium Bicarbonate

Use the sodium bicarbonate method to remove oil, grease, and carbon deposits from the area of the fillet, the valve face, and the valve head. For the sodium bicarbonate cleaning method, use a blasting crystal size of 70 microns (0.0028 inch). For best results, use 163-3951 Blast Media which is specially formulated to remove deeply embedded carbon deposits. Use a number four nozzle with a pressure of 483.0 to 550.0 kPa (70.00 to 80.00 psi). Use a flow rate of 2100.0 L/min (554.76 US gpm) of compressed air. Set the differential pressure at 4.45 N (1.000 lb) to control the flow of the media for blasting in the range of 3.34 N (0.750 lb) per minute.

There are many benefits to using sodium bicarbonate as the media for blasting. Unlike other types of blasting media, grease and oil do not need to be cleaned from the valves before blasting. Sodium bicarbonate is soluble in water which provides options for waste disposal. Used sodium bicarbonate can be used as a neutralizer for treatment of waste. Sodium bicarbonate is an environmentally friendly chemical for workers, parts, and the environment.

Glass Beads

Use glass beads to remove heavy carbon deposits from the area of the fillet, the valve face, and the valve head. Use glass beads that are 88 to 150 microns (0.0035 to 0.0059 inch) with 550.0 to 620.0 kPa (80.00 to 90.00 psi) of air pressure for best results. Glass beads that are 125 to 177 microns (0.0049 to 0.0070 inch) through size 74 to 125 microns (0.0029 to 0.0049 inch) are acceptable.


NOTICE

Never use glass beads that are larger than 230 microns (0.0091 inch). Protection of valve stems from glass beads and steel shot is necessary at all times. Do not mix aluminum oxide or any other material with glass beads.


Note: Do not use glass beads or steel shot in a cabinet that is configured for sodium bicarbonate cleaning. Glass beads and steel shot will not tolerate the grease or oils on the valves and the valves will require a cycle of wash prior to blasting.


NOTICE

Do not use the glass bead method to clean the valve stem. The results will be rapid wear of the valve guide. Protection of the stem area from glass beads is important.


Steel Shot

Use steel shot to remove heavy carbon deposits from the area of the fillet, the valve face, and the valve head. Use size S170 steel shot for best results. Larger sizes of shot can damage the valve.


NOTICE

The steel shot will not give an acceptable finish on the valve stem. Use the FT-1753 Valve Stem Protector or similar type of hose on the valve stem to protect the valve stem.


6V-2033 Brush and 6V-2032 Adapter



Illustration 6g01335052
6V-2033 Brush and 6V-2032 Adapter

One way to clean valve stems is to use tooling 6V-2033 Brush and 6V-2032 Adapter. Refer to Illustration 6. The flap brush has a diameter of 203 mm (8.0 inch). The width is 51 mm (2.0 inch) and the center hole has a diameter of 76 mm (3.0 inch). Tooling 6V-2032 Adapter fits 6V-2033 Brush and 6V-2032 Adapter has a center hole of 13 mm (0.5 inch). If necessary, the center hole can be made larger.

The best speed for the 6V-2033 Brush is 2100 rpm. Do not use a 3450 rpm motor. A motor that runs at 1725 rpm is acceptable only if the motor does not slow down during cleaning of the valves.


NOTICE

The 6V-2033 Brushcould come apart if it is run faster than 2100 rpm and could result in injury to the operator.


If 6V-2033 Brush is not available, use a Scotch-Brite Type 5A brush. This brush is a fine grade that is used for finishing. Other grades or other brushes from another supplier may result in an incorrect surface texture.

Vibratory Cleaning

A vibratory cleaner can also be used to clean the valves if the cleaner gives the correct final surface texture to the valve stem.



Illustration 7g03151879
Typical vibratory cleaner

The size and the type of pellet that is used in a vibratory cleaner controls the surface texture of the valves being cleaned. If necessary, polish the valve stem with Scotch-Brite material to get the correct surface texture. If you do not use Scotch-Brite material, check the surface texture on the valves frequently.


NOTICE

Do not use a wire brush or wire wheel to remove carbon deposits from valves. Wire brushes or wheels will make scratches on the valves, which can cause a valve failure.


Note: Inspect the area of the retaining grooves of the valves for discoloration before using a vibratory cleaner. After cleaning, apply a light coat of oil on the valves to prevent rust.

Note: Do not clean the valves with a grinder that has a Scotch-Brite abrasive disc. Grinding with Scotch-Brite discs creates airborne particles that will contaminate areas of the shop.


NOTICE

Exhaust valves should never be reused. Always replace exhaust valves at overhaul.


Crack Detection Methods


NOTICE

Regardless of which crack detection method is used, it is important that the instructions furnished with the detection equipment are followed closely when checking any component. Failure to do so may cause inaccurate results or may cause injury to the operator and/or surroundings.


Crack detection methods or Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) are utilized for examining components for cracks without damaging the component. Visual inspection (VT), Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT), Magnetic Particle Inspection (MT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Radiographic Testing (RT) and Eddy-Current Testing (ET) are recommended methods. There may be more than one acceptable crack detection method for the inspection of a given part, though the liquid penetrant is the most versatile. For example, the liquid penetrant method can be used when inspecting smooth machined components such as shafts, gear teeth, and splines, but using the Wet Magnetic Particle Inspection is more accurate. Refer to Table 4 for advantages and disadvantages and Table 5 for standards and requirements for these NDT methods.

Components and welds that are to be inspected using PT, MT, or UT shall first be subject to Visual Surface Inspection (VT). Visual Inspection is often the most cost-effective inspection method and requires little equipment as seen in Illustration 8. It is suggested that at a minimum personnel performing Visual Inspection are either trained to a company standard or have sufficient experience and knowledge regarding the components being inspected. It is also suggested that personnel performing visual inspections take some type of eyesight test regularly.

Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT)

------ WARNING! ------

Personal injury can result from improper handling of chemicals.

Make sure you use all the necessary protective equipment required to do the job.

Make sure that you read and understand all directions and hazards described on the labels and material safety data sheet of any chemical that is used.

Observe all safety precautions recommended by the chemical manufacturer for handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals.


Refer to Tooling and Equipment Table 3 for part numbers.

  • Cleaner: Removes dirt before dye application and dissolves the penetrant making possible to wipe the surface clean.

  • Penetrant: This solution is highly visible, and will seep into openings at the surface of a part with capillary action.

  • Developer: Provides a blotting action, bringing the penetrant out of the discontinuities and providing a contrasting background to increase the visibility of the penetrant indications.

  • Wire Brush: Removes dirt and paint.

  • Cloth or Wipes: Use with cleaner and for other miscellaneous uses.

  1. Preclean inspection area. Spray on cleaner / remover to loosen any scale, dirt, or any oil. Wipe the area to inspect with a solvent dampened cloth to remove remaining dirt and allow the area to dry.


    Illustration 9g01298458
    Applying the penetrant on the valves

  2. Apply penetrant by spraying to the entire area to be examined. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for penetrant to soak. After the penetrant has been allowed to soak, remove the excess penetrant with clean, dry wipe.

  3. The last traces of penetrant should be removed with the cleaner solvent dampened cloth or wipe. Allow the area to dry thoroughly.

  4. Before using developer, ensure that it is mixed thoroughly by shaking can. Holding can approximately 203.20 - 304.80 mm (8.00 - 12.00 inch) away from part, apply an even, thin layer of developer over the area being inspected. A few thin layers are a better application method than one thick layer.

  5. Allow the developer to dry completely for 10–15 minutes before inspecting for cracks. Defects will show as red lines in white developer background. Clean the area of application of the developer with solvent cleaner.


    Illustration 10g01298498
    Use an ultraviolet lamp to check the valves for cracks.

  6. Check the surface with a 459-0184 Ultraviolet Lamp. This lamp will highlight the location of any cracks or damage.

Dry Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

Refer to Tooling and Equipment Table 3 for part numbers.



Illustration 11g06085930
(A) Indications shown by magnetic particle testing.
(B) Typical electromagnetic yoke.
(C) Dry powder bulb.

  1. Dry magnetic powder shall be of high permeability and low retentively and of suitable sizes and shapes to produce magnetic particle indications. The powder shall be of a color that will provide adequate contrast with the background of the surface being inspected.

  2. Dry magnetic particles shall be stored in suitable containers to resist contamination such as moisture, grease, oil, non-magnetic particles such as sand, and excessive heat. Contaminants will manifest in the form of particle color change and particle agglomeration. The degree of contamination will determine further use of the powder.

  3. Dry magnetic powder shall be tested in accordance with ASTM E709 Section 18 (Evaluation of System Performance/Sensitivity) when not performing.

  4. Equipment should include a "U" shaped electromagnetic yoke made from highly permeable magnetic material, which has a coil wound around the yoke. This coil carries a magnetizing current to impose a localized longitudinal magnetic field into the part. The magnetizing force of the yoke is related to the electromagnetic strength and can be tested by determining the lifting power of a steel plate. The yoke shall have a lifting force of at least 4.5 kg (10 lbs).

  5. Check dry powder blower routinely to ensure that the spray is a light, uniform, dust-like coating of the dry magnetic particles. Blower should also have sufficient force to remove excess particles without disturbing those particles that are evidence of indications.

  6. All equipment shall be inspected at a minimum of once a year or when accuracy is questionable.

  1. Ensure surface to be inspected is dry and free from oil, grease, sand, loose rust, mil scale, paint, and other contaminants.

  2. Apply the magnetic field using the yoke against the faces and inside diameter of each bore.

  3. Simultaneously apply the dry powder using the dry powder blower.

  4. Remove excess powder by lightly blowing away the dry particles.

  5. Continue around the entire circumference of each bore. Position the yoke twice in each area at 1.57 rad (90°) to ensure that multiple directions of the magnetic field are created.

  6. Observe particles and note if any clusters of particles appear revealing an indication.

  7. Record the size and shape of any discontinuities or indications found.

Wet Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

Refer to Tooling and Equipment Table 3 for part numbers.

Illustration 13g06003178
Pear Shaped Centrifuge Tube

  1. Wet magnetic particles are fluorescent and are suspended in a vehicle in a given concentration that will allow application to the test surface by spraying.

  2. Concentration:

    1. The concentration of the suspended magnetic particles shall be as specified by the manufacturer and be checked by settling volume measurements.

    2. Concentrations are determined by measuring the settling volume by using an ASTM pear shaped centrifuge tube with a 1 mL (0.034 oz) stem with 0.05 mL (0.0017 oz) 1.0 mL (0.034 oz) divisions, refer to Illustration 13. Before sampling, the suspension shall be thoroughly mixed to assure suspension of all particles, which could have settled. A 100 mL (3.40 oz) sample of the suspension shall be taken and allowed to settle for 30 minutes. The settling volume should be between 0.1 mL (0.0034 oz) and 0.25 mL (0.0085 oz) in a 100 mL (3.40 oz) sample.

    3. Wet magnetic particles may be suspended in a low viscosity oil or conditioned water.

    4. The oil shall have the following characteristics:

      • Low viscosity not to exceed 50 mSt (5.0 cSt) at any temperature at which the vehicle is to be used.

      • Low inherent fluorescence and be non-reactive.

    5. The conditioning agents used in the conditioned water shall have the following characteristics:

      • Impart good wetting characteristics and good dispersion.

      • Minimize foaming and be non-corrosive.

      • Low viscosity shall not exceed a maximum viscosity of 50 mSt (5.0 cSt) at 38° C (100° F).

      • Non-fluorescent, non-reactive, and odorless.

      • Alkalinity shall not exceed a pH of 10.5.

  3. Equipment should include a "U" shaped electromagnetic yoke made from highly permeable magnetic material, which has a coil wound around the yoke. This coil carries a magnetizing current to impose a localized longitudinal magnetic field into the part. The magnetizing force of the yoke is related to the electromagnetic strength and can be tested by determining the lifting power of a steel plate. The yoke shall have a lifting force of at least 4.5 kg (10 lbs).

  1. Ensure surface to be inspected is dry and free from oil, grease, sand, loose rust, mil scale, paint, and any other contaminants.

  2. Apply the magnetic field using the yoke against the surface in the area to be inspected.

  3. For case hardened and ground surfaces:

    • Due to the sensitivity required to locate the grinding cracks, inspection of case hardened and ground surfaces require that the yoke is applied so that the magnetic field is 1.57 rad (90°) to the expected direction of the indications. Also, due to the increased sensitivity resulting when the yoke is energized, the yoke is not moved until the evaluation is completed in the first direction. An AC yoke shall be used.

  4. Visually inspect for indications of discontinuities using the proper illumination.

  5. Record the size and shape of any discontinuities found.

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Note: Crack depth cannot be accurately determined by UT, only full depth cracking can be consistently determined. For cracks that are not full depth, an indication of a partial depth cracks can be detected by an experienced technician.


NOTICE

All personnel involved in ultrasonic testing shall be qualified to Level 2 in accordance to standards stated in Table 5.


Refer to Tooling and Equipment Table 3 for part numbers.

  1. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is a method of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) using short ultrasonic pulse waves (with frequencies from 0.1-15 MHz up to 50 MHz) to detect the thickness of the object. Ultrasonic testing consists of an ultrasound transducer connected to a diagnostic machine and passed over the object being inspected.

  2. There are two methods of receiving the ultrasound waveform from the transducer: reflection and attenuation.

    1. Reflection - Ultrasonic pulses exit the transducer and travel throughout the thickness of the material. When the sound waves propagate into an object being tested, the waves return to the transducer when a discontinuity is discovered along the sonic path. These waves continue and reflect form the backsurface of the material to project the thickness of the material.

    2. Attenuation - A transmitter sends ultrasound through one surface, and a separate receiver detects the amount that has reached it on another surface after traveling through the medium. Any discontinuities or other conditions within the medium will reduce the amount of sound transmitted, revealing the presence of the imperfections.

Eddy-Current Testing (ET)


NOTICE

All personnel involved in Eddy-Current Testing shall be qualified to Level 2 in accordance to standards stated in Table 5.




Illustration 14g06090873
Eddy-Current Testing

Eddy-Current Testing (ET) is a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method in which eddy-current flow is induced in the test object. Changes in the flow caused by variations in the specimen are reflected in to a nearby coil or coils for subsequent analysis by suitable instrumentation and techniques. Major applications of eddy-current testing are surface inspection and tubing inspections.

Radiographic Testing (RT)

Note: CAUTION: This process is dangerous. Only qualified personnel and test equipment should be appointed to perform this type of testing.


NOTICE

All personnel involved in radiographic testing shall be qualified to Level 2 in accordance to standards stated in Table 5.




Illustration 15g06090892
Radiographic Testing

Radiographic Testing (RT) is a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method in which short wavelength of electromagnetic radiation is used to penetrate materials to find hidden discontinuities such as cracks. In radiographic testing, the test object is placed between the radiation source and the film, or x-ray detector. The electromagnetic radiation will penetrate the thickness of the test object and, when all the way through, will project onto the film any indications that have been in the path of the radiation waves.

Measurement Requirements


NOTICE

Precise measurements shall be made when the component and measurement equipment are at 20° (68° F). Measurements shall be made after both the component and measurement equipment have had sufficient time to soak at 20° (68° F). This will ensure that both the surface and core of the material is at the same temperature.


Measurements of the Valve Stem



Illustration 36g03152438
Always measure wear on valve stems.

Use a 6V-0087 Valve Stem Gauge or a 6V-7059 Micrometer to measure the diameter of the valve stem. Measure the top and the bottom area that moves inside the valve guide.

If a 6V-7059 Micrometer is used to check the diameter of the valve stem, adjust the 6V-7059 Micrometer to the correct dimension for reusability and locked at the minimum diameter. The valve is worn and the valve must be replaced if the micrometer or the correct gauge slides easily over the stem at any position on the stem.

Note: Some valves have a tapered valve stem.


NOTICE

Do not use force or roll the valve stem into the gauge or micrometer. Forcing the valve stem can cause early wear on the gauge and incorrect valve stem measurements.

Procedure to Grind Valves

Note: C175 valves are NOT to be ground. The valves are precision machined and the valves do not have enough material to grind successfully. Any attempt to do so will cause the valve to lose durability.

Note: After a valve has been ground, inspect the face and measure the thickness of the lip. Refer to the "Procedure to Measure Valve Lip Thickness" section of this guideline.

The intake and exhaust valves for 3600 engines are the largest valves from Caterpillar. Special heavy-duty equipment for grinding may be necessary. It may also be necessary to modify the existing equipment for grinding. The machine for grinding valves must be capable of grinding a valve with the typical dimensions given in Table 6.

Table 6
General Valve Dimensions 
Measurement  Dimension 
Length  393.7 mm (15.50 inch) 
Stem Diameter  15.97 mm (0.629 inch) 
Head Diameter  90.00 mm (3.543 inch) 

The machine for grinding valves must be capable of grinding the valve face, so the result of the face to runout of stem diameter is 0.10 mm (0.004 inch). Check the accuracy of the grinder to duplicate machining operations by removing the ground valve. Clamp in the collet again and recheck the total indicated runout.

Standard machines for grinding valves normally will not accept the larger stem diameter of these valves. A different head collet or head may be required to grind these valves. Also, the length of the valve stem will require some modification to the table to accept the longer length of the stem. The valve should always be installed in the collet with the chuck on the chrome finish.

Valve Face



    Illustration 56g03154737

  1. Adjust the carriage on the grinder to the correct valve face angle. The valve must have line contact near the outside diameter of the valve seat face when the valve is seated against the face of the insert seat.


    Illustration 57g03154916

  2. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation of the valve into the chuck.


    Illustration 58g03154956

  3. Adjust the stop on the carriage for maximum movement to the left.


    Illustration 59g03154997

  4. Always dress the grinding wheel so the grinding wheel does not have any nicks, grooves, or foreign material.


    Illustration 60g03155021
    Valve face that has been unevenly ground

  5. Examine the rotating valve in the grinder to determine if the valve is warped or bent. Valves that are warped or bent can cause uneven grinding. Bad maintenance of the grinder will also cause uneven grinding. Valves that are warped must be replaced unless the thickness of the lip is correct after grinding.

    Do not use the valve again.

  6. Adjust the flow of cooling liquid so the flow is directly on the point of contact between the grinding wheel and the valve face. Always wet-grind valves.


    Illustration 61g01945500

  7. Check the runout of the valve face to the stem.

    If the maintenance on the valve grinding machine is not correct, valve failure is possible. To check the valve grinder chuck, install a new valve in the chuck and use a dial indicator to check the runout on the face of the valve. The runout must not be more than 0.025 mm (0.0010 inch). If the dial indicator reads too much runout, the chuck is damaged and needs to be repaired or the bearings are bad or loose.

  8. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to properly grind the valve.


    Illustration 62g01337941

  9. After the valve is ground, inspect the valve face. There must be no grooves, pits, marks, or burns on the face.


NOTICE

Check the channels that the valve grinding machine slides in. If any movement can be felt, then the channels must be adjusted or a repair must be made. When the valve grinding equipment is in good condition, lapping of the valves is not necessary.


Procedure to Measure Valve Lip Thickness

Note: Contact between the face of the valve and the seat of the valve is expected in the area at the outer edge of the valve seat. The minimum thickness of the lip must be maintained.



Illustration 63g01337997
This illustration shows the thickness of the lip on the valve. Use either of the following two methods to check thickness of the lip.


Illustration 64g01338011
Use a 5P-6518 Dial Indicator Fixture to measure the thickness of the lip on the valve.


Illustration 65g01338013
Use a 6V-7059 Micrometer with a 6V-2034 Micrometer Adapter to measure the thickness of the lip on the valve.

Measure the thickness of the lip with either a 5P-6518 Dial Indicator Fixture or a 6V-7059 Micrometer with a 6V-2034 Micrometer Adapter. Refer to Special Instruction, SMHS6998, "Instructions for the Use of 5P-6518 Dial Indicator Fixture-Parts Reusability" for more information.

Note: Remove any burrs from the vee blocks on the fixture with a small 6V-2010 Polishing Stone. Burrs can damage the valve stem.

Note: Some difference in thickness of the lip is permissible. If the thickness of the lip is less than the minimum specification at any point, do not use that valve again.

The existing micrometer adapter 6V-2034 Micrometer Adapter enables measurement of valve lip thickness for 45 degree and 60 degree valves. Many 3400, 3500, 3600 and C175 engine valves are 70 degree.

Note: For C175 engines replace all intake and exhaust valves at PCR. DO NOT REUSE / RECONDITION / OR REMANUFACTURE INTAKE OR EXHAUST VALVES.

Note: For 3500 engines replace all exhaust valves at PCR. DO NOT REUSE / RECONDITION / OR REMANUFACTURE EXHAUST VALVES.

550-9152 Ring Gage Assembly is used to accurately measure valve lip thickness on 70 degree angle valves. The gage can be used with a 369-2607 Digital Indicator with the 5P-4160 Tip on a 5P-4456 Base and a 3P-1585 Collet. A 6V-7030 Depth Micrometer, 8H-3581 Feeler Gage Set, or precision gage blocks can also be used to determine reusability.

The gage eliminates possible measuring errors by locating the measuring surface on the factory established gage point. Comes with removeable centering bushings to measure valves with 9.4 mm or 11.0 mm stems.

Refer to M0088789Tool Operating Manual, "550-9152 Gage Ring Assembly" for more information.

Repair of the Valve Stem End

Use the valve again.

The end of the valve stem must be smooth and level. The end of the valve stem should have a maximum surface texture of 0.81 µm (32.000 µinch). Remove only 0.025 mm (0.0010 inch) with each grind. Then inspect the end of the valve stem.

Note: All the valves do not need to be the same length.



Illustration 69g03155038
Grind the end of the valve stem to create a smooth surface.

Use the valve again if any of the original chamfer can be seen. Remove sharp edges with Scotch-Brite or with an Arkansas stone.

  7. Release the pressure of the valve spring compressor.

Valve Springs

Inspection and Reuse

This section contains graphics of springs that can and cannot be reused. Do not reuse valve springs that this guide recommends not to use again.

Note: Do not reuse the following valve springs. 194-4901, 281-6157, 316-5976, 450-0908 Outer Spring and 194-4902, 316-5977 and 450-0909 Inner Spring.

Note: C175 valve springs must be replaced at full life overhaul. C175 valve springs may be reused at mid-life overhaul if they pass visual inspection.

Nicks and deep scratching on the valve spring.

Do not use the spring again.



Illustration 81g03155598
Light wear in the first 180 degrees of turn is acceptable.

Use the spring again.



Illustration 82g01338028
Rust deposits on the spring.

Do not use the spring again.



Illustration 83g03155618
Notches at the end of the spring are not acceptable.

Do not use the spring again.



Illustration 84g01338033
Wear on the valve spring between the coils and on the end of the spring.

Do not use the spring again.



Illustration 85g03155696
Spring has wear on the sides and cannot be reused.

Do not use the spring again.



Illustration 86g01338038
Use a square or use a straight edge and a feeler gauge to check each valve spring for distortion.

A 7B-0337 Surface Plate and a 150 mm (6.0 inch) square will be used to measure the straightness of the spring.

Use the spring again if it passes distortion checks.

Note: Do not use a spring again if the spring has more distortion than the dimensions given in Table 9.

Test Procedure for Valve Springs

All current valve springs can be measured by using the 441-0714 Valve Spring Tester to test for reusability of load and rebound. To measure the diameter and free length of a spring, use either a 25 to 50 mm (1.0 to 2.0 inch) micrometer or a dial caliper.



Illustration 87g03680564
Use 441-0714 Spring Tester to test the springs.

  1. Adjust the stop at the top of the valve spring tester to compress the spring only to the Minimum Operating Length.

  2. Put the spring under compression until the spring is at the Assembled Length. Make a record of the force that is needed to hold the spring at this length.

  3. Continue to compress the spring until the spring is at the Minimum Operating Length. Make a record of the force that is needed to hold the spring at this length.

  4. Make a comparison of the results to the specifications given in Table 9.

Valve Rotocoils and Locks



Illustration 89g06229852

Do not reuse valve rotocoils or locks.

Caterpillar recommends against the reuse of rotocoils or locks. The disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, and reassembling of rotocoils requires specialized tooling and processes.

Floating Valve Bridges



Illustration 90g00008666

DO NOT REUSE a bridge with a new valve. The components create a wear system which they become a matched pair, and the reuse of a worn bridge (even slightly) with a new valve can lead to accelerated valve wear.


NOTICE

Do not attempt to reuse the 6I-1458 Valve Bridge. The 6I-1458 Valve Bridge can cause valve lash adjustment problems on cylinder heads that have been salvaged. Therefore, the 6I-1458 Valve Bridge has been canceled and replaced with the 348-7743 Valve Bridge. If there is trouble setting valve lash after the 348-7743 Valve Bridges are installed, then the 363-3731 Valve Bridges must be used. The 363-3731 Valve Bridges are thinner than the 348-7743 Valve Bridges. Refer to Truck Engine News, SEBD6847 for more information on the application of the 363-3731 Valve Bridges.


3406E and C15 Bridges



Illustration 91g01338184
No pitting, raised material, waving, or wear steps on top of the bridge or in the holes on the valve stem.

Use the bridge again.



Illustration 92g01338297
Pitting, raised material, waving, or a wear step on top of the bridge or in the holes on the valve stem.

Do not use the bridge again.



Illustration 93g01338288
The depth of the pocket on the valve stem is less than 6.7 mm (0.26 in). No pitting, raised material, waving, or wear steps.

Use the bridge again.



Illustration 94g01338291
The depth of the pocket on the valve stem is greater than 6.7 mm (0.26 in) or the pocket of the valve is worn and damaged.

Do not use the bridge again.

3126B Bridges

Inspection of Slipper Followers, Roller Followers, and Roller Lifters

Slipper Followers, roller followers, and roller lifters are used in Caterpillar engines. This guideline contains information about the reusability of followers and lifters. Followers and lifters wear a specific fit with the camshaft lobes.


NOTICE

It is recommended that used followers and lifters be installed in their original bores during reassembly. If the followers and lifters are not, the difference in wear patterns can result in a faster rate of wear or a failure.


Caterpillar recommends marking each follower and each lifter during disassembly. This will provide positive identification of the correct sequence during assembly. Never permit followers or lifters to become mixed. Do not install followers or lifters against a different lobe. Never install a used follower or a used lifter of any type with a new camshaft.

Slipper Followers, roller followers, and roller lifters that are used again in accordance with the information in this guideline will provide normal performance until the next overhaul of the engine.

Apply oil to all followers and lifters during assembly.

General Guidelines Slipper Followers, Roller Followers, and Roller Lifters

  • When a new camshaft is installed, always replace the used followers and/or used lifters as well. Using a used roller lifter or slipper follower with a new camshaft can cause aggressive wear to both the camshaft and the lifter or follower.

  • A new roller lifter can be installed on a used camshaft if the camshaft does not have wear on the lobe that can be easily seen or felt. The original roller lifter must have a smooth wear pattern. If either the roller lifter or the camshaft lobe has heavy wear, the camshaft should be replaced. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8146, "Camshaft Inspection Process" for further guidance.

  • Check the roller for excessive movement. Do not reuse any rollers that are excessively loose. Do not reuse rollers that do not turn smoothly. Excessive wear on the pin or the roller in direction (C) is not acceptable. Refer to Table 12 for wear limits.

  • Check for damage on the surface. There must be no pits, corrosion, or smeared material on the contact surfaces. Inspect each follower carefully with an 8S-2257 Eye Loupe. Surfaces that look and feel acceptable can have small pitting or defects which cannot be seen without an eye loupe. Circumferential wear patterns are acceptable if the surface has no defects. Circumferential wear patterns are unacceptable if the patterns can be felt with a fingernail.

Handling and Storage

Poor handling and storage procedures can cause a great deal of damage and may prevent the parts from being used again. Typical handling and storage damage includes: rust, dents, nicks, and scratches. To avoid damage, parts should be handled carefully and never dropped or thrown. Place parts in racks designed to prevent the parts from contacting each other. Putting the parts in racks should prevent damage to any parts during transportation and cleaning.

If the scratches are shallow, the roller can be lightly polished and used again. The polishing procedure should not use abrasive materials. The polishing procedure should not cause a change in the diameter of the roller. If the scratches are not shallow, the roller should not be used again. Shallow scratches cannot be felt with a fingernail.

Roller lifters can receive a great deal of damage from poor handling and storage practices. Such damage can prevent the parts from being used again. Typical handling and storage damage includes rust, dents, nicks, and scratches. To avoid damage, parts should be handled carefully, not dropped or thrown. Place the parts in racks designed to prevent the lifters from contacting each other. This practice should prevent damage during transportation and cleaning.

To avoid storage damage, parts must be coated with a rust preventative and stored in a clean, dry place where the parts will not be subjected to moisture. Engine oil is an adequate rust preventative if the parts will be used within a few days. If longer storage of parts is required, it may be necessary to wrap individual parts in sealed containers, such as plastic bags.

Cleaning Procedure

The roller lifters can be cleaned using any good quality cleaning solution with a petroleum base. Diesel fuel works well, because diesel fuel also provides some lubrication. Some cleaners will not protect the parts after cleaning because the cleaners dry oil free. Kerosene is not as good as diesel fuel, because kerosene provides less lubrication.

Make sure that the cleaning solution is clean since the clearances in roller lifters are very close. If the cleaning solution is not kept clean, foreign material or debris can get between the pin and roller, thus causing damage or premature failure.

Visual Inspection

The following general information should be used when working with roller followers and lifters:

  1. Used followers and lifters cannot be used on a new camshaft. A new camshaft requires the use of new followers and lifters. Used followers and lifters can only be used with the original camshaft. Always install used followers and roller lifters in the original bores with the original orientation.

  2. New followers and rollers can be installed on a used camshaft if the camshaft does not have wear on the lobe that can be easily seen or felt. The original lifter must have had a typical pattern or a normal pattern of smooth wear. If either the lifter or the camshaft has experienced heavy wear, Caterpillar recommends installing a replacement camshaft.

  3. If a camshaft was replaced, replace all followers and lifters.

  4. Do not use any followers and lifters that operated against damaged lobes.

  5. Check the followers and roller for excessive movement. Do not reuse any followers and rollers that are loose. Do not reuse any followers and rollers that do not turn smoothly. Measure and evaluate according to specifications in Table


    Illustration 127g01742913
    8S-2257 Eye Loupe used for visual inspection

  6. Check for surface damage. There must be no pits, corrosion, or smeared material on contact surfaces. Inspect each lifter carefully with the 8S-2257 Eye Loupe. Surfaces that look and feel acceptable can have small pitting or defects that cannot be seen without magnification. As long as the surface is free of defects, circumferential wear patterns are acceptable unless the wear can be felt with a fingernail.

  7. Inspect the shaft bore in the assembly for unusual signs of wear. The bore should be smooth with no signs of galling or seizure to the shaft. If damage has occurred, the assembly must be replaced.


    Illustration 128g06266663
    (4) Pin Hole

  8. Check the press fit of the pin securing the roller to the body by tapping the pin with a brass or plastic mallet. If the pin moves, replace the assembly, If two or more assemblies have loose pins, replace all assemblies.


    Illustration 129g03192138
    The stamped arrow on the pin must be pointing up for the pin to be correctly aligned. The arrow indicates the stamped arrow on the pin.

  9. During assembly on roller followers, make sure the stamped arrow on the end of the pin is pointing up, Illustration 129. If the stamped arrow is not pointing straight up, the pin is not aligned correctly.


    Illustration 130g02717564
    (A) The hole in the pin is aligned with the hole in the fork.
    (B) The hole in the pin is more than 2 degrees from a vertical centerline.

  10. There have been reports of damage to roller lifters after an engine has exceeded the maximum rpm limit. This condition is called overspeeding. Overspeeding has been shown to cause the roller pin to move sideways. Overspeeding can also cause the pin to rotate in the forks of the lifter. The pin uses an interference fit in the forks of the lifter and the pin is installed recessed 0.50 ± 0.25 mm (0.020 ± 0.010 in) from the side. During rebuilding process of the engine, inspect the pin to determine whether the pin has rotated from the initial position as shown in Illustration 130. The small hole in the end of the pin must still be aligned within 2 degrees of the vertical lifter. If the hole in the pin is more than 2 degrees from the vertical centerline, the lifter cannot be used again.

Do not reuse the lifter.

Handling and Storage Damage



Illustration 139g01746736
Scratches on the roller from improper handling
Reuse the lifter.

Note: Polishing can cause flat spots on the roller. Dents or nicks can also be found due to poor storage and poor handling. If there is raised material around the damage, the material must be removed by polishing. The roller lifter may be reused if the diameter of the body is within the diameter limits listed in Table 13. Reuse the lifter only if scratches or dents are shallow.

Wear on the Body

The following examples all show typical wear. The wear areas on the body of the roller lifter may take several forms from dull and scratched to bright and polished. The areas of wear should be polished to remove any raised material from the scratches.

The diameter of the body should be measured after the lifter has been polished.



Illustration 151g01750813
Typical wear to the body
Reuse the lifter.

The wear pattern stops in a straight line in these examples. These roller lifters can be used again unless a wear step can be felt with a fingernail. The areas of wear should be polished to remove any raised material from the scratches. After the polishing procedure, the diameter of the body should be measured. This measurement will make sure that the diameter is within the specified limits.

Slipper Followers

Visual Inspection

Illustration 154 shows the condition of the contact surface in a new slipper follower. Illustration 155, Illustration 156, Illustration 159, and Illustration 160 show some of the more common types of wear to slipper followers.

For good service life, each slipper follower must be installed in the original location so that the follower runs against the same camshaft lobe.

You can install a new slipper follower on a used camshaft if the camshaft does not have wear on the lobe that can be easily seen or felt and if the original slipper follower also had a wear pattern that was normal and smooth. If either the slipper follower or the camshaft lobe has heavy wear, the camshaft should be replaced.

With new camshafts, new or reconditioned followers must be used.

A slipper follower is wearing normally if the surface has a mirror finish. If the surface of the lifter that contacts the camshaft is dull, the lifter is experiencing rapid wear. The lifter should be replaced.



Illustration 154g06266631
The contact surface is convex on a new slipper follower.


Illustration 155g06266632
The contact surface of this used slipper follower is concave. The wear goes to the outside diameter and the wear has caused a rough edge.

Do not reuse the follower.

The contact surface of this slipper follower is concave.

Reuse the follower if the follower meets the specifications in Illustration 157.



Illustration 157g01995954
(A) Length of follower
(B) Depth of concave surface

The follower can be reused if the depth of the concave surface is less than 0.25 mm (0.010 inch). This type of wear is only acceptable if the follower is installed on the same camshaft lobe. The camshaft must meet the criteria in Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8146, "Camshaft Inspection Process".

Salvage of Slipper Followers



Illustration 161g01996974
(F) Minimum reusable length
(6) Ball for measuring
(7) Radius on face


NOTICE

Followers that are too short can result in early wear of the camshaft and follower because the follower does not have the necessary hardness.


Illustration 161 shows the location of measurement for slipper followers that have been ground. The specifications for minimum reuse apply to the follower after 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) have been ground off.

To measure the minimum length for reuse, put the correct ball on the end of the slipper follower. Use a micrometer to measure the distance over the end of the follower and the outside diameter of the ball as shown in Illustration 161.

The surface finish of the follower must be 0.20 µm (8.0 µinch) or smoother.

Note: Some followers may have a layer of protection over the surface which will make the surface finish rougher.

The slipper face must be crowned. The radius must be the same as the radius on a new lifter. Approximate radii are shown in Table 10.

Use a dressing stone to shape the follower to the correct radius. To check the radius, lightly grind the face of a new lifter and check for correct profile.

The crown on the slipper follower must be exactly symmetrical to the sides of the follower. There are two quality control checks for checking the grinding machine.

  1. Check the runout of the crown.

    1. Put the tip of the indicator at point (8) while the follower is on the grinder.

    2. Turn the follower from (8) to (10). The dial indicator must not move more than the specification for total indicated runout shown in Table 10.

  2. Check the correct amount of radius or “crown”.

    1. Put the follower on a surface plate.

    2. Install a 3P-1568 Dial Indicator on a magnetic base and measure the height between location (9) and locations (8) and (10).

    3. The difference must be acceptable according to the specifications in Table 10.

If the lube passage in the lifter body is not plugged, clean oil will flow from the clearance between the pin and the roller and from the forks of the lifter body at location (1) in Illustration 166.

The roller lifters from 3500A engines may not be pressure lubricated. Lifters that are not pressure lubricated will not have the lube port on the side of the filter. In that case, the roller lifters should be submerged in an oil bath for at least 1 hour. The best method is to hang the roller lifters in a vertical manner. This is the orientation the lifters would have in an engine. This method ensures that oil fills the space between the roller pin and the roller. This method can be carried out by making a tank and a rack that holds the roller lifters for one complete engine.

Wear Limits

Maximum wear limits have been established to aid in determining the reusability of roller lifters. Use the following information along with Illustration 167 through 169 to determine reusability.



Illustration 167g06266675
Movement in the direction of callout (D) is normal. Movement in the direction of callout (C) should not exceed the amount of movement in direction (D). If movement in direction (C) is greater, heavy pin wear is likely.

(2) Machining marks

384-5330 Housing Assembly:

  • Inspect abutment surface of housing for fretting or damage. Any housings with a wear step or damage to a depth of 0.26 mm (0.01024 inch) or beyond (relative to the original surface) should not be reused / reworked with a new lifter shaft. Inspect housings for cracks in the thin cross-sections beside the two hollow dowels which locate the shaft.

  • If the original machining marks are visible through the wear, refer to Illustration 173 (machine marks in wear). The lifter shaft cover can be reused as long as the same shaft is installed on the same lifter shaft cover in the same orientation.


Illustration 174g06219123
Cover orientation

  • Mark the lifter shaft cover similar to Illustration 174 (cover orientation) to establish orientation. Mark the lifter shaft in the same manner and number the shaft and cover.

  • The lifter shaft cover and lifter shaft must be installed together, and in this orientation for the parts to be reused.


Illustration 175g06219125

  • The cover can be reused if the hollow dowel is damaged as shown in Illustration 175.

The 357-9456 Bolts that attach the lifter shaft to the lifter shaft housing should only be used one time. If the bolts are removed for any reason, new bolts should be installed.

  1. Remove the two hollow dowels from the housing using 1U-9570 Dowel Puller Group.


    Illustration 178g06353210

  2. Mill 0.26 mm (0.01024 inch) (A) from both lifter shaft abutment pads on the housing.


    Illustration 179g06353223

  3. Remachine 1.0 mm (0.03937 inch) (B) chamfer on the 4 long edges (perpendicular to the lifter shaft) of the abutment pads. This will ensure that the edges of the pads do not contact the internal fillet on the shaft prior to full surface contact between the housing and shaft mounting faces.


    Illustration 180g06353232

  4. Thoroughly flush internal threads and oil passage within the housing to ensure that there are no machining chips remaining


    Illustration 181g06353238

  5. Reinstall two new 357-4820 Hollow Dowels within the housing using FT-3571 to control the depth of insertion into the housing.

    Note: Installing the dowels to the point of bottoming out within the housing bore can lead to a reduction in oil supply to the lifter / roller assembly.



    Illustration 182g06353240

  6. Slide two 551-1529 Friction Shims over the two hollow dowels until they contact the mounting surfaces on the housing. Take care to orient the shims such that the edges of the shims are parallel with the sides of the two mounting pads in the housing.

  7. Install the lifter shaft (with lifters and spacers assembled) onto the two dowels until the shaft contacts the surface of the friction shim. Refer to KENR6052 Disassembly and Assembly procedure for lifters & shaft.

    Note: If the shims and shaft are installed correctly, the two rectangular tabs at each end of the shim should be visible beyond the diameter of the shaft.

  8. Install two new 357-9456 Bolts and torque to specified torque value.

3600 Injector and Valve Lifter Group

During the operation of any engine, each roller follower wears to a specific fit with the cam lobe it runs against. At the point of contact, each follower and lobe will develop a similar wear pattern.

Note: Used followers need to be installed in the original bores during reassembly. If not, the differences in wear patterns can result in a faster rate of wear and/or failure.



Illustration 190g06267082
Part numbers facing out, as shown

When installing the lifter, in the lifter guide, the part number must face "out" as shown.

Mark each follower during disassembly to provide positive identification and to make sure that the follower is installed in the original location. Never permit followers to become mixed or installed against a different lobe on the camshaft. Never install a used follower of any type with a new camshaft unless the follower is in "like new" condition.

Roller followers that are used again according to the information given in this guideline and other applicable guidelines can be expected to give normal performance until the next overhaul when used again in the same application.

Visual Inspection of Rocker Arms

During the operation of the engine, each rocker arm and rocker arm shaft develops a specific wear pattern. This wear pattern is unique to each particular bearing and rocker arm socket. Therefore, to assure maximum component life, each rocker arm, and rocker arm shaft must be reinstalled in its original position. If the rocker arm and rocker arm shaft are not installed in the same location, the difference in the wear patterns will result in a faster rate of wear, or possible failure.

These matching wear patterns are also formed on rocker arms and valve bridges, push rods and injector rocker arms, and adjusting screws and buttons. If one of the two parts in these pairs is replaced, so must the other. If one is used again, its corresponding part must also be used again.

Valve train components that meet these salvage guidelines and specifications can be expected to perform normally in the same application until the next engine overhaul. Never install a part that this Guideline indicates cannot be used again. Before installing a used or reconditioned part, correct any conditions that may have caused the original wear.

A new rocker can be installed on a used camshaft if the camshaft meets reusability criteria. A new camshaft requires the use of a new roller. Never install a used roller rocker onto a new camshaft or premature wear can result.

Excessive wear patterns can be detected with simple inspection methods. This type of wear is typically visible to the eye. Excessive wear patterns indicate that the part should not be reused. Check for wear at the contact surfaces between the rocker arm assembly and the bridge. Typically excessive wear is not present in this area.

Check all parts for surface damage. There must not be any pitting, corrosion, or smeared material on the contact surfaces. If all the parts show normal wear patterns and are free from defects, they can be used again.

Check the rocker arm shaft for excessive wear. An obvious indication of excessive wear is when the rocker arm feels loose on the rocker arm shaft. If the wear is excessive and can be felt with the fingernail, do not use the shaft again.

Rocker Arms for 3176, 3196, C-10, and C-12

Rocker Arms

Inspect the pad of the valve rocker arm for wear. The pad should be smooth and shiny. Roughness, pitting, or wear over more than half the surface makes the rocker arm unusable. An exhaust valve rocker arm is shown in illustrations 196 through 198, however the same use again criteria applies to the intake valve rocker arms.

Illustrations 196 through 198 show progressive stages of wear to the rocker arm pad.



Illustration 196g06267424
Minimal wear. The wear area is shown in white.

Use again if all other reusability requirements are met.

Illustration 196 shows a rocker arm pad with minimal wear. The shiny area, shown in white, is small. This shiny area grows progressively larger as the pad wears.



Illustration 197g06267427
Center-to-center distance of worn pad area (A) cannot exceed 60 percent of the pad area or 8 mm (0.3 inch) on either the intake or exhaust rocker arms. The wear area is shown in white.

Use again if wear area does not exceed specifications.

The wear area shown in Illustration 197 covers approximately 60 percent or 8 mm (0.3 inch) of the pad, which is the maximum allowable amount of wear.



Illustration 198g06267430

Measure the inside diameter of the rocker arm bushing (21) and measure the diameter of the shaft assembly (22). See Illustration 217. Determine the clearance of the oil between the rocker arm bushing and the shaft assembly by subtracting the dimension of the shaft assembly from the dimension of the rocker arm bushing. Compare the dimension with the specifications in Table 27 and 28. If the dimension is not between the maximum and the minimum, replace the bushing. If the dimension is more than the repair limit replace both the rocker arm bushing and the shaft assembly.

The following chart provides the specifications for the valve mechanism group. Use these specifications to inspect the rocker arms and use these specifications to assemble the rocker arms.

Bearing Installation Procedure

Proper orientation of the bearing in the rocker arm is essential for adequate lubrication of the rocker arm. In addition to the oil hole alignment, the bearing joint must be at the top of the rocker arm within 5 degrees.



Illustration 231g06267537
Make sure the angle of the oil holes in the rocker arm are aligned with the bearing oil holes.

  1. Lay the rocker arm on a flat surface as shown in Illustration 231. Each type of rocker arm has the oil holes drilled at different angles.

  2. Lay the bearing next to the rocker arm and make sure that the oil holes will align and the bearing joint will be at the top of the rocker arm.


    NOTICE

    It is critical that the bearing is installed correctly. If the bearing is misaligned or installed upside down, the oil groove will not lubricate the arm shaft assembly properly, resulting in faster wear of the bearing and the shaft.


  3. Use a 1P-0510 Driver, and press the bearing into the rocker arm.

  4. Machine the inside diameter of the bearing to the dimensions shown in Tables 2543, and 44. The inside diameter of the bearing must have 100 percent clean-up. The surface texture must be 0.80 µm (31.4960 µinch) or smoother.

  5. Thoroughly clean the rocker arm and oil hole passages to remove any metal shavings.

Storage Procedures

Proper protection of the components from corrosion is important. Corrosion will start in as little as one hour after the components have been cleaned.

When the components will not be inspected for one hour or less the components should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil. The components should be individually wrapped to prevent contamination, and should be stored in a protected area to avoid damage. See Illustration 328.

When the components will not be inspected in two days or more the components should be coated with a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil and should be placed in a container which is clean and structurally solid. The container should be covered or wrapped in plastic to prevent damage and contamination to the components. See Illustration 329.

Refer to SEHS9031Special Instruction, "Storage Procedure for Caterpillar Products" for more information.
