| Troubleshooting Test Steps | Values | Results |
|---|---|---|
1. Inspect for Failed Turbocharger Seals A. Check the following components for oil: - Inlet manifold - Exhaust manifold |
Turbocharger Seals |
Result: Oil from the turbocharger is not present in the inlet or exhaust manifold. Proceed to Test Step 2. Result: Oil from the turbocharger is present in the inlet or exhaust manifold. Repair:Replace the turbocharger. If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 2. |
2. Inspect the Valve Guide Seals A. Check the valve guide seals for the following: - Damage - Wear |
Valve Guide Seals |
Result: The valve guide seals are not damaged. Proceed to Test Step 3. Result: The valve guide seals are damaged. Repair:Replace the valve guide seals. If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 3. |
3. Inspect the Valve Guides A. Check the valve guides for wear. Refer to the Specification manual for the maximum permissible wear of the valve guides. |
Valve Guides |
Result: The valve guides are not worn. Proceed to Test Step 4. Result: The valve guides are worn. Repair: If necessary, recondition the cylinder head. Verify the repair. If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 4. |
4. Inspect the Piston Rings A. Piston rings that have excessive wear can cause too much pressure in the crankcase. The additional pressure in the crankcase will cause more than the normal amount of crankcase blowby from the crankcase breather. Use the following service tools, along with Software License, NETG5044: - 285-0901 Blowby Tool Gp (LARGE ENGINE) - 348-5430 Multi-Tool Gp |
Piston Rings |
Result: The piston rings are not worn. Proceed to Test Step 5. Result: The piston rings are worn. Repair: Replace the piston rings. If the problem is not resolved, proceed to Test Step 5. |
5. Check for Extended Idle Times Note: Extended idle times will allow oil to pass into the exhaust system. |
Idle Times |
Result: The idle times are extensive. Repair: Reduce the idle times. |
If the procedure did not correct the issue, contact your Cat dealer Technical Communicator (TC). For further assistance, your TC can confer with the Dealer Solutions Network (DSN).
