Clean the oil cooler core and the aftercooler core. Then, pressure test both of these cores. For instructions on cleaning the cores, see this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Aftercooler Core - Inspect/Clean" topic.Clean the oil suction screen. Also, remove side covers to clean the oil sump. For instructions on removal and installation of components, see the Service Manual, "Disassembly and Assembly" module.Cylinder Head Assembly
Inspect the cylinder head assembly according to the instructions that are in Cat reusability publications. Refer to Guidelines for Reusable Parts and Salvage Operations, SEBF8029, "Index of Publications on Reusability or Salvage of Used Parts".Your Cat dealer can provide these services and components. Your Cat dealer can ensure that the components are operating within the appropriate specifications.The use of out-of-spec parts will cause unscheduled downtime and/or costly repairs.Unit Injectors
Replace the unit injectors. Consult your Cat dealer about exchanging the unit injectors. Your Cat dealer can provide these services and components.The wear of unit injectors is affected by the following considerations:
Quality of the fuel
Quality of the filtration of the fuelThe wear of the unit injectors can result in elevated levels of exhaust emissions and/or poor engine performance. The misfire of a single cylinder is not typically attributed to normal wear. This condition can be repaired by replacing the faulty unit injector.The following list of circumstances indicates that the unit injectors should be inspected more frequently:
Use of fuels that are not recommended in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fluid Recommendations"
Extreme ambient temperatures that reduce the ability of the fuel to provide lubrication
Frequent plugging of the fuel filters
Insufficient maintenance of the fuel tank or the fuel storage tank that can allow excessive water, sediment, and other contaminants.
Insufficient maintenance of the fuel filtersOil Suction Screen
Clean the oil suction screen after the oil has been drained.Note: Approximately 1 L (1 qt) of oil will remain in the housing after the sump has been drained. This oil will pour out of the housing when cover (1) is removed. Prepare to catch the oil in a pan. Clean up any spilled oil with absorbent towels or pillows. DO NOT use absorbent particles to clean up the oil.
Remove the screen assembly according to the instructions in the Service Manual, "Disassembly and Assembly" module. Discard the used O-ring seals.
Wash the screen assembly in clean nonflammable solvent. Allow the screen assembly to dry before installation.
Remove side covers to gain access to the sump. Clean the bottom of the sump with absorbent towels or pillows. When the bottom of the sump is clean, install the side covers.
Inspect the screen assembly for good condition. Obtain a new screen assembly, if necessary. Install the screen assembly. Install new O-ring seals.
