Refer to the Service Manual for the procedure. For more information on cleaning the core, consult your Caterpillar dealer.
Alternator - Inspect
SMCS Code: 1405-040 Note: This engine is equipped with an alternator circuit breaker. Note the location of the alternator circuit breaker for your particular application. If the alternator circuit breaker trips, you will need to reset the breaker in order for the charging system to operate. Refer to the information that is provided by the OEM for more information. Caterpillar recommends a scheduled inspection of the alternator. Inspect the alternator for loose connections and proper battery charging. Inspect the ammeter (if equipped) during engine operation in order to ensure proper battery performance and/or proper performance of the electrical system. Make repairs, as required. Refer to the Service Manual. Check the alternator and the battery charger for proper operation. If the batteries are properly charged, the ammeter reading should be very near zero. All batteries should be kept charged. The batteries should be kept warm because temperature affects the cranking power. If the battery is too cold, the battery will not crank the engine. The battery will not crank the engine, even if the engine is warm. When the engine is not run for long periods of time or if the engine is run for short periods, the batteries may not fully charge. A battery with a low charge will freeze more easily than a battery with a full charge.
59 Maintenance Section Auxiliary Water Pump - Inspect
i00911249

Auxiliary Water Pump - Inspect

SMCS Code: 1371-040 Impellers and seals require periodic inspection. Impellers have a service life that is limited. The service life depends on the engine operating conditions. Inspect the components more frequently when the pump is exposed to debris, sand, or other abrasive materials. Inspect the components if the pump is operating at a differential pressure of more than 103 kPa (15 psi). Check the following components for wear or damage:
Belt - Inspect/Adjust/Replace
SMCS Code: 1357-039
Inspection
Belt tension should be checked initially between the first 20 to 40 hours of engine operation. After the initial check, the belt tension should be checked at Every 250 Service Hours or Three Months. To maximize the engine performance, inspect the belts for wear and for cracking. Replace belts that are worn or damaged. For applications that require multiple drive belts, replace the belts in matched sets. Replacing only one belt of a matched set will cause the new belt to carry more load because the older belt is stretched. The additional load on the new belt could cause the new belt to break. If the belts are too loose, vibration causes unnecessary wear on the belts and pulleys. Loose belts may slip enough to cause overheating. If the belts are too tight, unnecessary stresses are placed on the pulley bearings and on the belts. This may shorten the service life of the components. Remove the belt guard. Inspect the condition and adjustment of the alternator belts and accessory drive belts (if equipped). If the belts do not require replacement or adjustment, install the belt guard. If the belts require adjustment or replacement, perform the following procedure to adjust the belt tension.

69 Maintenance Section Cooling System Water Temperature Regulator - Replace
i00912898
Cooling System Water Temperature Regulator Replace

SMCS Code: 1355-510 Replace the water temperature regulator before the water temperature regulator fails. This is a recommended preventive maintenance practice. Replacing the water temperature regulator reduces the chances for unscheduled downtime. A water temperature regulator that fails in a partially opened position can cause overheating or overcooling of the engine. A water temperature regulator that fails in the closed position can cause excessive overheating. Excessive overheating could result in cracking of the cylinder head or piston seizure problems. A water temperature regulator that fails in the open position will cause the engine operating temperature to be too low during partial load operation. Low engine operating temperatures during partial loads could cause an excessive carbon buildup inside the cylinders. This excessive carbon buildup could result in an accelerated wear of the piston rings and wear of the cylinder liner. NOTICE Failure to replace your water temperature regulator on a regularly scheduled basis could cause severe engine damage. Caterpillar engines incorporate a shunt design cooling system and require operating the engine with a water temperature regulator installed. If the water temperature regulator is installed incorrectly, the engine may overheat, causing cylinder head damage. Ensure that the new water temperature regulator is installed in the original position. Ensure that the water temperature regulator vent hole is open. Do not use liquid gasket material on the gasket or cylinder head surface.

Visually inspect the element before cleaning. Inspect the element for damage to the seal, the gaskets, and the outer cover. Discard any damaged elements. There are four common methods that are used to clean elements:
Note: When the paper air cleaner elements are cleaned, always begin with the clean side (inside) in order to force dirt particles toward the dirty side (outside). Aim the hose so that the air flows inside the element along the length of the filter in order to help prevent damage to the paper pleats. Do not aim the stream of air directly at the element. Dirt could be forced further into the pleats. Note: Refer to Inspecting the Paper Air Cleaner Elements. Vacuum Cleaning Vacuum cleaning is a good method for cleaning paper air cleaner elements which require daily cleaning because of a dry, dusty environment. Cleaning with pressurized air is recommended prior to vacuum cleaning. Vacuum cleaning will not remove deposits of carbon and oil. Note: Refer to Inspecting the Paper Air Cleaner Elements.
Pressurized water Pressurized air Vacuum cleaning Washing with nonsudsing detergent
Pressurized Water Pressurized water will clean the element unless carbon and oil have accumulated on the surface of the element. The maximum water pressure for cleaning purposes must be below 275 kPa (40 psi). Do not use a spray nozzle. Note: When the element is cleaned, always begin with the clean side (inside) in order to force dirt particles toward the dirty side (outside). Aim the hose so that the water flows inside the element along the length of the filter in order to help prevent damage to the paper pleats. Do not aim the stream of water directly at the element. Dirt could be forced further into the pleats.
Washing the Paper Air Cleaner Elements with Nonsudsing Detergent
Inspecting the Paper Air Cleaner Elements
Do not wash air cleaner elements in any flammable solution such as diesel fuel or gasoline. Doing so can cause fire or an engine runaway and can result in personal injury. Washing with nonsudsing detergent is effective for cleaning elements that have deposits of carbon or oil. Use a cleaning agent that is specifically manufactured for cleaning paper air cleaner elements. Cleaning with pressurized water, pressurized air, or vacuum cleaning is recommended prior to washing with nonsudsing detergent. 1. Place the element into a wash tank so that the gasket is up. The wash tank should be equipped with a rack so that the element does not sit on the bottom of the wash tank. Note: Caterpillar does not recommend a process for washing the element which includes vigorously shaking. By vigorously shaking the element, carbon particles may be distributed. 2.

78 Maintenance Section Engine Oil Level Gauge - Calibrate
i00917087
NOTICE Engine damage can occur if the crankcase is filled above the FULL mark on the oil level gauge (dipstick). An overfull crankcase can enable the crankshaft to dip into the oil. This will reduce the power that is developed and also force air bubbles into the oil. These bubbles (foam) can cause the following problems: reduction of the oils ability to lubricate, reduction of oil pressure, inadequate cooling of the pistons, oil blowing out of the crankcase breathers, and excessive oil consumption. Excessive oil consumption will enable deposits to form on the pistons and in the combustion chamber. Deposits in the combustion chamber lead to the following problems: guttering of the valves, packing of carbon under the piston rings, and wear of the cylinder liner. If the oil level is above the FULL mark on the oil level gauge, drain some of the oil immediately. 2. Remove oil filler cap (2) and add oil, if necessary. Clean the oil filler cap. Reinstall the oil filler cap.
Engine Oil Level Gauge Calibrate

SMCS Code: 1326-524 The engine is shipped with an engine oil level gauge that is not marked. The engine oil level gauge is not marked because the angle of the installation and the location of the engine oil level gauge can be different for each engine. The angle of the installation and the location of the engine oil level gauge will affect ADD mark (Y) and FULL mark (X). These marks are engraved on the engine oil level gauge. The engine oil level gauge must be calibrated after the engine is installed in the vessel. Tables 24 through 27 list the installation angles (front to rear) and the corresponding oil level marks. Use a marking pen in order to engrave ADD mark (Y) and FULL mark (X) on the engine oil level gauge according to the information in Tables 24 through 27.

Engine Oil Sample - Obtain

SMCS Code: 1000-008; 1348-554-SM; 7542-554-OC, SM In addition to a good preventive maintenance program, Caterpillar recommends using SOS oil analysis at regularly scheduled intervals in order to monitor the condition of the engine and the maintenance requirements of the engine.
NOTICE Do not use the same vacuum sampling pump for extracting oil samples that is used for extracting coolant samples. A small residue of either type sample may remain in the pump and may cause a false positive analysis for the sample being taken. Always use a designated pump for oil sampling and a designated pump for coolant sampling. Failure to do so may cause a false analysis which could lead to customer and dealer concerns. If the engine is not equipped with a sampling valve, use the 1U-5718 Vacuum Pump. The pump is designed to accept sampling bottles. Disposable tubing must be attached to the pump for insertion into the sump. For instructions, see Special Publication, PEHP6001, How To Take A Good Oil Sample. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for complete information and assistance in establishing an SOS program for your engine.
Obtain the Sample and the Analysis
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin. Before taking the sample, complete the Label, PEEP5031 for identification of the sample. To help obtain the most accurate analysis, provide the following information:
Engine model Service hours on the engine The oils hours of use The amount of oil that has been added since the
last oil change To ensure that the sample is representative of the oil in the crankcase, obtain a warm, well mixed oil sample. To avoid contamination of the oil samples, the tools and the supplies that are used for obtaining oil samples must be clean. Caterpillar recommends using the sampling valve in order to obtain oil samples. The quality and the consistency of the samples are better when the sampling valve is used. The location of the sampling valve allows oil that is flowing under pressure to be obtained during normal engine operation. The 8T-9190 Fluid Sampling Bottle Group is recommended for use with the sampling valve. The bottle group includes the parts that are needed for obtaining oil samples. Instructions are also provided.

Engine Oil and Filter - Change

SMCS Code: 1318-510; 1348-044
2. Cut the oil filter open with a 4C-5084 Oil Filter Cutter. Break apart the pleats and inspect the oil filter for metal debris. An excessive amount of metal debris in the oil filter may indicate early wear or a pending failure. Use a magnet to differentiate between the ferrous metals and the nonferrous metals that are found in the oil filter element. Ferrous metals may indicate wear on the steel and cast iron parts of the engine. Nonferrous metals may indicate wear on the aluminum parts, brass parts or bronze parts of the engine. Parts that may be affected include the following items: main bearings, rod bearings, turbocharger bearings, and cylinder heads. Due to normal wear and friction, it is not uncommon to find small amounts of debris in the oil filter. Consult your Caterpillar dealer in order to arrange for a further analysis if an excessive amount of debris is found in the oil filter.
Hot oil and hot components can cause personal injury. Do not allow hot oil or hot components to contact the skin. Do not drain the oil when the engine is cold. As the oil cools, suspended waste particles settle on the bottom of the oil pan. The waste particles are not removed with the draining cold oil. Drain the crankcase with the engine stopped. Drain the crankcase with the oil warm. This draining method allows the waste particles that are suspended in the oil to be drained properly. Failure to follow this recommended procedure will cause the waste particles to be recirculated through the engine lubrication system with the new oil.
Drain the Engine Oil

After the engine has been run at the normal operating temperature, stop the engine. Use one of the following methods to drain the engine crankcase oil:
If the engine is equipped with a drain valve, turn the

drain valve knob counterclockwise in order to drain the oil. After the oil has drained, turn the drain valve knob clockwise in order to close the drain valve. remove the oil drain plug in order to allow the oil to drain. If the engine is equipped with a shallow sump, remove the bottom oil drain plugs from both ends of the oil pan.
If the engine is not equipped with a drain valve,

3. Clean the sealing surface of the filter mounting base. Ensure that all of the old oil filter gasket is removed. 4. Apply clean engine oil to the new oil filter gasket. NOTICE Do not fill the oil filters with oil before installing them. This oil would not be filtered and could be contaminated. Contaminated oil can cause accelerated wear to engine components. 5. Install the oil filter. Tighten the oil filter until the oil filter gasket contacts the base. Tighten the oil filter by hand according to the instructions that are shown on the oil filter. Do not overtighten the oil filter.
After the oil has drained, the oil drain plugs should be cleaned and installed.
Replace the Oil Filter

NOTICE Caterpillar oil filters are built to Caterpillar specifications. Use of an oil filter not recommended by Caterpillar could result in severe engine damage to the engine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larger waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine lubricating system. Only use oil filters recommended by Caterpillar. 1. Remove the oil filter with a 1U-8760 Chain Wrench.
83 Maintenance Section Engine Protective Devices - Check
Fill the Engine Crankcase

1. Remove the oil filler cap. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for more information on lubricant specifications. Fill the crankcase with the proper amount of oil. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual for more information on refill capacities. NOTICE If equipped with an auxiliary oil filter system or a remote oil filter system, follow the OEM or filter manufacturers recommendations. Under filling or overfilling the crankcase with oil can cause engine damage. NOTICE To prevent crankshaft bearing damage, crank the engine with the fuel OFF. This will fill the oil filters before starting the engine. Do not crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. 2. Start the engine and run the engine at LOW IDLE for two minutes. Perform this procedure in order to ensure that the lubrication system has oil and that the oil filters are filled. Inspect the oil filter for oil leaks. 3. Stop the engine and allow the oil to drain back to the sump for a minimum of ten minutes. 4. Remove the oil level gauge in order to check the oil level. Maintain the oil level between the ADD and FULL marks on the oil level gauge.

i00915472
Engine Valve Lash Inspect/Adjust

SMCS Code: 1102-025 The initial valve lash adjustment on new engines, rebuilt engines, or remanufactured engines is recommended at the first scheduled oil change. The adjustment is necessary due to the initial wear of the valve train components and to the seating of the valve train components. This maintenance is recommended by Caterpillar as part of a lubrication and preventive maintenance schedule in order to help provide maximum engine life. NOTICE Only qualified service personnel should perform this maintenance. Refer to the Service Manual or your Caterpillar dealer for the complete valve lash adjustment procedure. Operation of Caterpillar engines with improper valve adjustments can reduce engine efficiency. This reduced efficiency could result in excessive fuel usage and/or shortened engine component life.
Exhaust Restrictor Inspect/Adjust

SMCS Code: 1061-025; 1061-040 Your engine may be equipped with an exhaust restrictor in order to reduce white smoke during engine warm-up.
Inspect Exhaust Back Pressure

NOTICE If the exhaust restrictor opens too slow, the result is power loss and increased black smoke. If the exhaust restrictor opens too fast, cold starting will produce more white smoke. Avoid these problems by keeping the exhaust restrictor properly adjusted. Before adjusting the linkage, perform the following steps: 1. Start the engine. Run the engine at low idle rpm. 2. Ensure that the restrictor is in the CLOSED position. Adjust the low idle screw in order to obtain 650 rpm. 3. Measure the exhaust back pressure before the restrictor. No adjustment is needed if the exhaust back pressure is at least 34 kPa (5 psi). Perform the adjustment procedure if the exhaust back pressure is too low. Note: Set the low idle operating rpm to the desired rpm after adjusting the linkage.

i00073301
Fuel Tank Water and Sediment - Drain

SMCS Code: 1273-543-M&S
This will help prevent water or sediment from being pumped from the storage tank into the engine fuel tank. If a bulk storage tank has been refilled or moved recently, allow adequate time for the sediment to settle before filling the engine fuel tank. Internal baffles in the bulk storage tank will also help trap sediment. Filtering fuel that is pumped from the storage tank helps to ensure the quality of the fuel. When possible, water separators should be used.
Fuel Tank
Fuel quality is critical to the performance and to the service life of the engine. Water in the fuel can cause excessive fuel system wear. Condensation occurs during the heating and cooling of fuel. The condensation occurs as the fuel passes through the fuel system and the fuel returns to the fuel tank. This causes water to accumulate in fuel tanks. Draining the fuel tank regularly and obtaining fuel from reliable sources can help to eliminate water in the fuel.
Drain the Water and the Sediment

Fuel tanks should contain some provision for draining water and draining sediment from the bottom of the fuel tanks. Open the drain valve on the bottom of the fuel tank in order to drain the water and the sediment. Close the drain valve. Check the fuel daily. Drain the water and sediment from the fuel tank after operating the engine or drain the water and sediment from the fuel tank after the fuel tank has been filled. Allow five to ten minutes before performing this procedure. Fill the fuel tank after operating the engine in order to drive out moist air. This will help prevent condensation. Do not fill the tank to the top. The fuel expands as the fuel gets warm. The tank may overflow. Some fuel tanks use supply pipes that allow water and sediment to settle below the end of the fuel supply pipe. Some fuel tanks use supply lines that take fuel directly from the bottom of the tank. If the engine is equipped with this system, regular maintenance of the fuel system filter is important.
Fuel Storage Tanks

Overhaul Considerations
SMCS Code: 7595-043 Reduced hours of operation at full load will result in a lower average power demand. A decreased average power demand should increase both the engine service life and the overhaul interval. The need for an overhaul is generally indicated by increased fuel consumption and by reduced power. The following factors are important when a decision is being made on the proper time for an engine overhaul:
Need for preventive maintenance Quality of the fuel that is being used Operating conditions Results of the SOS analysis
Oil Consumption as an Overhaul Indicator

Oil consumption, fuel consumption, and maintenance information can be used to estimate the total operating cost for your Caterpillar engine. Oil consumption can also be used to estimate the required capacity of a makeup oil tank that is suitable for the maintenance intervals. Oil consumption is in proportion to the percentage of the rated engine load. As the percentage of the engine load is increased, the amount of oil that is consumed per hour also increases. The oil consumption rate (brake specific oil consumption) is measured in grams per kW/h (lb per bhp). The brake specific oil consumption (BSOC) depends on the engine load. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for assistance in determining the typical oil consumption rate for your engine. When an engines oil consumption has risen to three times the original oil consumption rate due to normal wear, an engine overhaul should be scheduled. There may be a corresponding increase in blowby and a slight increase in fuel consumption.
Overhaul Options
Before Failure Overhaul A planned overhaul before failure may be the best value for the following reasons:
Avoid costly unplanned downtime. Reuse many original parts according to the
standards for reusable parts.
Pistons Turbocharger Oil pump Fuel ratio control Cam followers Fuel Transfer pump Timing advance
If the parts comply with the established inspection specifications that are expressed in the reusable parts guideline, the parts should be reused. Parts that are not within the established inspection specifications should be salvaged, repaired, or replaced. Using out-of-spec parts can result in the following problems:
Extend the engines service life without the risk of

a major catastrophe due to engine failure. extended life.
Attain the best cost/value relationship per hour of

After Failure Overhaul If a major engine failure occurs and the engine must be removed from the hull, many options are available. An overhaul should be performed if the engine block or the crankshaft needs to be repaired. If the engine block is repairable and/or the crankshaft is repairable, the overhaul cost should be between 40 percent and 50 percent of the cost of a new engine with a similar exchange core. This lower cost can be attributed to three aspects:
Specially designed Caterpillar engine features Caterpillar dealer exchange components Caterpillar Inc. remanufactured exchange
components
Unscheduled downtime Costly repairs Damage to other engine parts Reduced engine efficiency Increased fuel consumption
Reduced engine efficiency and increased fuel consumption translates into higher operating costs. Therefore, Caterpillar Inc. recommends repairing out-of-spec parts or replacing out-of-spec parts.
Overhaul Recommendation
To minimize downtime, Caterpillar Inc. recommends a scheduled engine overhaul by your Caterpillar dealer before the engine fails. This will provide you with the best cost/value relationship. Note: Overhaul programs vary according to the engine application and according to the dealer that performs the overhaul. Consult your Caterpillar dealer for specific information about the available overhaul programs and about overhaul services for extending the engine life. If an overhaul is performed without overhaul service from your Caterpillar dealer, be aware of the following maintenance recommendations.
Component Replacement
Replace the following components during the overhaul:
Piston Rings Thrust bearings Main bearings Connecting rod bearings Gaskets and seals Engine mounts Hoses
Rebuild or Exchange
Inspect the following components according to the instructions that are found in various Caterpillar reusability publications. The Special Publication, SEBF8029 lists the reusability publications that are needed for inspecting the engine parts.
Cylinder head assembly Connecting rods
Inspection
Inspect the following components according to the instructions that are in Caterpillar reusability publications. Refer to Guidelines for Reusable Parts and Salvage Operations, SEBF8029, Index of Publications on Reusability or Salvage of Used Parts.
Unusual fit Unusual wear Testing

Test the following components during the overhaul:
Camshaft Camshaft bearings Crankshaft Crankshaft vibration damper Gear train

Inspect the camshaft for damage to the journals and the lobes. Inspect the camshaft bearings for signs of wear and/or for signs of fatigue. Inspect the crankshaft for any of the following conditions:
Fuel injection nozzles Fuel injection pump Governor

Testing the fuel system during the overhaul will ensure that your engine operates at peak efficiency. Your Caterpillar dealer can provide these services and components in order to ensure that your fuel system is operating within the appropriate specifications.
Cleaning
The following components should be cleaned and pressure tested during the overhaul:
Deflection Damage to the journals Bearing material that has seized to the journals
Check the journal taper and the profile of the crankshaft journals. Check these components by interpreting the wear patterns on the rod bearings and main bearings. Note: If the crankshaft or the camshaft are removed for any reason, use the magnetic particle inspection process to check for cracks. Replace the crankshaft vibration damper if any of the following conditions are found:
Engine oil cooler Marine gear oil cooler Aftercooler Heat exchanger
Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, Aftercooler Core - Inpect/Clean topic (Maintenance Section) for the cleaning procedure.
Obtain Coolant Analysis

The concentration of supplemental coolant additive (SCA) should be checked regularly with test kits or with SOS Coolant Analysis (Level I). Further coolant analysis is recommended when the engine is overhauled. For example, considerable deposits are found in the water jacket areas on the external cooling system, but the concentrations of coolant additives were carefully maintained. The coolant water probably contained minerals that were deposited on the engine over time. A coolant analysis can be conducted in order to verify the condition of the water that is being used in the cooling system. A full water analysis can be obtained by consulting your local water utility company or an agricultural agent. Private laboratories are also available for water analysis. Caterpillar Inc. recommends an SOS Coolant Analysis (Level II).
Engine failure due to a broken crankshaft Excessive wear of the front main bearing Excessive wear of the gear train that is not caused by a lack of lubrication Visconic damper that is dented, cracked, or leaking Visconic damper that is discolored from heat Rubber damper that is deteriorated and cracked Rubber damper with slippage of the outer ring

Refer to the Service Manual for more information on the checking procedure and for specifications or consult your Caterpillar dealer for assistance.
Turbocharger - Inspect
SMCS Code: 1052-040 Periodic inspection and cleaning is recommended for the turbocharger compressor housing (inlet side). Any fumes from the crankcase are filtered through the air inlet system. Therefore, by-products from oil and from combustion can collect in the turbocharger compressor housing. Over time, this buildup can contribute to loss of engine power, increased black smoke and overall loss of engine efficiency. If the turbocharger fails during engine operation, damage to the turbocharger compressor wheel and/or to the engine may occur. Damage to the turbocharger compressor wheel can cause additional damage to the pistons, the valves, and the cylinder head. NOTICE Turbocharger bearing failures can cause large quantities of oil to enter the air inlet and exhaust systems. Loss of engine lubricant can result in serious engine damage. Minor leakage of a turbocharger housing under extended low idle operation should not cause problems as long as a turbocharger bearing failure has not occurred. When a turbocharger bearing failure is accompanied by a significant engine performance loss (exhaust smoke or engine rpm up at no load), do not continue engine operation until the turbocharger is repaired or replaced. An inspection of the turbocharger can minimize unscheduled downtime. An inspection of the turbocharger can also reduce the chance for potential damage to other engine parts. Note: Turbocharger components require precision clearances. The turbocharger cartridge must be balanced due to high rpm. Severe Service Applications can accelerate component wear. Severe Service Applications require more frequent inspections of the cartridge.

1. Remove the exhaust outlet piping and remove the air inlet piping from the turbocharger. Visually inspect the piping for the presence of oil. 2. Turn the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel by hand. The assembly should turn freely. Inspect the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel for contact with the turbocharger housing. There should not be any visible signs of contact between the turbine wheel or compressor wheel and the turbocharger housing. If there is any indication of contact between the rotating turbine wheel or the compressor wheel and the turbocharger housing, the turbocharger must be reconditioned. 3. Check the compressor wheel for cleanliness. If only the blade side of the wheel is dirty, dirt and/or moisture is passing through the air filtering system. If oil is found only on the back side of the wheel, there is a possibility of a failed turbocharger oil seal. The presence of oil may be the result of extended engine operation at low idle. The presence of oil may also be the result of a restriction of the line for the inlet air (plugged air filters), which causes the turbocharger to slobber. 4. Use a dial indicator to check the end clearance on the shaft. If the measured end play is greater than the Service Manual specifications, the turbocharger should be repaired or replaced. An end play measurement that is less than the minimum Service Manual specifications could indicate carbon buildup on the turbine wheel. The turbocharger should be disassembled for cleaning and for inspection if the measured end play is less than the minimum Service Manual specifications. 5. Inspect the bore of the turbine housing for corrosion. 6. Clean the turbocharger housing with standard shop solvents and a soft bristle brush. 7. Fasten the air inlet piping and the exhaust outlet piping to the turbocharger housing.

Walk-Around Inspection
SMCS Code: 1000-040
Inspect the Engine for Leaks and for Loose Connections

A walk-around inspection should only take a few minutes. When the time is taken to perform these checks, costly repairs and accidents can be avoided. For maximum engine service life, make a thorough inspection of the engine compartment before starting the engine. Look for items such as oil leaks or coolant leaks, loose bolts, worn belts, loose connections and trash buildup. Make repairs, as needed:
The guards must be in the proper place. Repair

damaged guards or replace missing guards.
Wipe all caps and plugs before the engine is
serviced in order to reduce the chance of system contamination.
NOTICE For any type of leak (coolant, lube, or fuel) clean up the fluid. If leaking is observed, find the source and correct the leak. If leaking is suspected, check the fluid levels more often than recommended until the leak is found or fixed, or until the suspicion of a leak is proved to be unwarranted. NOTICE Accumulated grease and/or oil on an engine or deck is a fire hazard. Remove this debris with steam cleaning or high pressure water.
Ensure that cooling lines are properly clamped and

that cooling lines are tight. Check for leaks. Check the condition of all pipes. the OEM specification for the marine transmission or refer to the OEM specification for the vessel.
Check the marine transmission oil level. Refer to
Inspect the water pumps for coolant leaks.

Note: The water pump seal is lubricated by coolant in the cooling system. It is normal for a small amount of leakage to occur as the engine cools down and the parts contract. Excessive coolant leakage may indicate the need to replace the water pump seal. For the removal of water pumps and the installation of water pumps and/or seals, refer to the Service Manual for the engine or consult your Caterpillar dealer.

Water Pump - Inspect

SMCS Code: 1361-040; 1361 A failed water pump might cause severe engine overheating problems that could result in the following conditions:
Inspect the fuel system for leaks. Look for loose Inspect the piping for the air inlet system and the
elbows for cracks and for loose clamps.
Inspect the alternator belt and the accessory drive

belts for cracks, breaks or other damage. Belts for multiple groove pulleys must be replaced as matched sets. If only one belt is replaced, the belt will carry more load than the belts that are not replaced. The older belts are stretched. The additional load on the new belt could cause the belt to break.
Cracks in the cylinder head A piston seizure Other potential damage to the engine
Visually inspect the water pump for leaks. If any leaking is observed, replace each water pump seal. Refer to the Service Manual for the disassembly and assembly procedure. Inspect the water pump for any of the following conditions:
Drain the water and the sediment from fuel tanks
on a daily basis in order to ensure that only clean fuel enters the fuel system. loose connections and for worn wires or frayed wires. for good condition.
Inspect the wiring and the wiring harnesses for
Wear Cracks Pin holes Proper operation

Note: Refer to the Service Manual or consult your Caterpillar dealer if any repair is needed or any replacement is needed.
Inspect the ground strap for a good connection and Disconnect any battery chargers that are not
protected against the current drain of the starting motor. Check the condition and the electrolyte level of the batteries, unless the engine is equipped with a maintenance free battery. gauges which are cracked or any gauges that can not be calibrated.
Check the condition of the gauges. Replace any

Zinc Rods - Inspect/Replace

SMCS Code: 1388-040; 1388-510 Corrosion in sea water circuits can result in premature deterioration of cooling system components, leaks, and possible cooling system contamination. The corrosion may be caused by the lack of zinc rods in the sea water system. Zinc rods are inserted in the sea water cooling system of the engine in order to help prevent the corrosive oxidation that is caused by sea water. The reaction of the zinc to the sea water causes the zinc rods to oxidize rather than the cooling system components. Rapid deterioration of zinc rods may indicate the presence of uncontrolled electrical currents from improperly installed electrical attachments or improperly grounded electrical attachments. The zinc rods must be inspected at the proper intervals. The zinc rods must be replaced when deterioration occurs.

b. Tap the zinc rod lightly with a hammer. If the zinc rod flakes, install a new zinc rod. 3. If the zinc rod will be reused, scrape the layer of oxidation from the zinc rod before installation. The layer of oxidation reduces the effectiveness of the zinc rod.
Inspect the Zinc Rods

The zinc rods are red for easy identification. Table 28 shows the locations of the zinc rods and the quantities of the zinc rod:
