Inlet Valve Lubrication Metering Pump
An inlet valve lubrication metering pump is provided in order to lubricate the inlet valves during operation. The valve is adjusted at the factory and the valve will not normally require adjustment unless the pump is replaced.

Oil Leakage On Outside Of Engine
Check for leakage at the seals at each end of the crankshaft. Look for leakage at the oil pan gasket and all lubrication system connections. Look for any oil that may be leaking from the crankcase breather. This can be caused by combustion gas leakage around the pistons. A dirty crankcase breather will cause high pressure in the crankcase. A dirty crankcase breather will cause the gaskets and the seals to leak. Oil Leakage Into Combustion Area Of Cylinders
Oil leakage into the combustion area of the cylinders can be the cause of blue smoke. There are four possible ways for oil leakage into the combustion area of the cylinders:
Oil leakage between worn valve guides and valve stems
Worn or damaged pistons, piston rings, or dirty oil return holes in the piston
Incorrect installation of the compression ring and/or the intermediate ring
Oil leakage past the seal rings in the impeller end of the turbocharger shaftToo much oil consumption can also be the result if oil with the wrong viscosity is used. Oil with a thin viscosity can be caused by increased engine temperature. Measuring Engine Oil Pressure
The engine oil pressure and the oil filter restriction can be measured with the electronic service tool.
Work carefully around an engine that is running. Engine parts that are hot, or parts that are moving, can cause personal injury.
Oil pressure to the camshaft and main bearings should be checked on the side of the cylinder block at the oil gallery plug. With the engine at operating temperature, the minimum oil pressure at full load rpm should be approximately 280 kPa (40 psi). Minimum oil pressure at low idle rpm should be approximately 140 kPa (20 psi) .Oil Pressure Is Low
Crankcase Oil Level
Check the level of the oil in the crankcase. Add oil if oil is needed. It is possible for the oil level to be too far below the oil pump supply tube. This will cause the oil pump not to have the ability to supply enough lubrication to the engine components.This engine also uses a scavenge oil pump to move trapped oil from the rear of the engine back to the main sump at the front. Be sure that this oil pump operates correctly in order to maintain a sufficient oil level for the main oil pump supply tube.The Oil Pump Does Not Work Correctly
The inlet screen of the supply tube for the oil pump can have a restriction. This restriction will cause cavitation and a loss of oil pressure. Air leakage in the supply side of the oil pump will also cause cavitation and loss of oil pressure. If the bypass valve for the oil pump is held in the open position, the lubrication system can not reach the maximum pressure. Oil pump gears that have too much wear will cause a reduction in oil pressure.Oil Filter Bypass Valve
If the bypass valve for one or more of the oil filters is held in the open position due to a restriction, a reduction in the oil pressure can be the result. Remove each bypass valve and clean each bypass valve in order to correct this problem. You must also clean each bypass valve bore. Install new Caterpillar oil filters. New filters will prevent more debris from causing this problem.Too Much Clearance At Engine Bearings Or Open Lubrication System
Components that are worn and components that have too much bearing clearance can cause low oil pressure. Low oil pressure can also be caused by an oil line or an oil passage that is open, broken, or disconnected.Piston Cooling Jets
When the engine is operating, cooling jets direct oil toward the bottom of the piston in order to cool the piston. This also provides lubrication for the piston pin. If a jet is broken, plugged, or installed incorrectly, a seizure of the piston will occur quickly.Oil Pressure High
Oil pressure will be high if the bypass valve for the oil pump can not move from the closed position.Too Much Bearing Wear
When some components of the engine show bearing wear in a short time, the cause can be a restriction in an oil passage.An indicator for the oil pressure may show that there is enough oil pressure, but a component is worn due to a lack of lubrication. In such a case, look at the passage for the oil supply to the component. A restriction in an oil supply passage will not allow enough lubrication to reach a component. This will result in early wear.Increased Oil Temperature
Look for a restriction in the oil passages of the oil cooler. The oil temperature may be higher than the normal oil temperature when the engine is operating. In such a case, the oil cooler may have a restriction. The oil pressure of the engine will not get low just because the oil cooler has a restriction. Determine whether or not the oil cooler bypass valve is held in the open position. This condition will allow the oil through the valve instead of the oil cooler. The oil temperature will increase.Indicators For Oil Pressure
An oil pressure indicator that has a defect or a sender that has a defect can give an indication of a low oil pressure or a high oil pressure.The 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group can be used in order to make a comparison with the indicators on the instrument panel and the oil pressure that is displayed on the electronic service tool.
