Refer to Guidelines for Reusable Parts and Salvage Operations, SEBF8029, "Index of Publications on Reusability or Salvage of Used Parts".Your Caterpillar dealer can provide these services and components. Your Caterpillar 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 Caterpillar dealer about exchanging the unit injectors. Your Caterpillar 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 indicate that the unit injectors should be inspected more frequently:
Use of fuels that are not recommended in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and 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, etc.
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 completely 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 in order 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.Replacement of Components
