Fuel System
Either too much fuel or not enough fuel for combustion can be the cause of a problem in the fuel
system.
Many times work is done on the fuel system when the problem is really with some other part of the
engine. The source of the problem is difficult to find, especially when smoke comes from the exhaust.
Smoke that comes from the exhaust can be caused by a bad fuel injection valve, but it can also be
caused by one or more of the reasons that follow:
A problem with the components that send fuel to the engine can cause low fuel pressure. This can
decrease engine performance.

1. Check the fuel level in the fuel tank. Look at the cap for the fuel tank to make sure the vent is not
filled with dirt.
2. Check the fuel lines for fuel leakage. Be sure the fuel supply line does not have a restriction or a
bad bend.
4. Remove any air that may be in the fuel system. If there is air in the fuel system, use the priming
pump and open the drain valve on the fuel injection pump housing until fuel without air comes from
the drain line.
NOTICE
When fuel injection lines are loosened or tightened on the fuel injection
nozzles, two wrenches must be used. The nozzle must be held with a
wrench or damage to the nozzle can result.
To remove air from the fuel injection lines, loosen the fuel line nuts on the fuel injection nozzles 1/2
turn. Move the governor lever to the low idle position. Crank engine with the starter motor until fuel
without air comes from the fuel line connections. Tighten the fuel line nuts.
NOTE: The fuel priming pump will not give enough pressure to push fuel through the reverse flow
check valves in the fuel injection pumps.
Run the engine at the speed that is the roughest. Loosen the fuel line nut at a fuel injection pump. This
will stop the flow of fuel to that cylinder. Do this for each cylinder until a loosened fuel line is found
that makes no difference in engine performance. Be sure to tighten each fuel line nut after the test
before the next fuel line nut is loosened. Check each cylinder by this method. When a cylinder is
found where the loosened fuel line nut does not make a difference in engine performance, test the
injection pump and fuel injection nozzle for that cylinder.
Temperature of an exhaust manifold port, when an engine runs at low idle speed, can also be an
indication of the condition of a fuel injection nozzle. Low temperature at an exhaust manifold port is
an indication of no fuel to the cylinder. This can possible be an indication of a nozzle with a defect.
Extra high temperature at an exhaust manifold port can be an indication of too much fuel to the
cylinder, also caused by a nozzle with a defect.
The most common defects found with the fuel injection nozzles are:
2. Orifice wear.
3. Steel wire brushing of nozzle tip.
NOTE: For more information on the 5P5140 Nozzle Testing Group see, Special Instruction, Form
No. SEHS7292.
NOTICE
Be sure to use clean SAE J967 Calibration Fluid when tests are made.
Dirty test fluid will damage components of fuel injection nozzles. The
temperature of the test fluid must be 18 to 24°C (65 to 75°F) for good
test results.
NOTICE
Do not test nozzles unless you have the correct service tools.

Before fuel injection nozzle (1) can be tested, all loose carbon around the tip of the nozzle must be
removed with the 8S2258 Brass Wire Brush (M).
Remove carbon dam (2) with needle nose pliers and remove seal (3) from the nozzle.
NOTICE
Do not use a steel brush or a wire wheel to clean the nozzle body or the
nozzle tip. Use of these tools can cause a small reduction of orifice size,
and this will cause a large reduction in engine horsepower. Too much
use of the 8S2258 Brass Wire Brush will also remove the coating that is
on the nozzle for protection.
Clean the groove for carbon seal dam (2) and the body of the nozzle below the groove with the
8S2258 Brass Wire Brush (M). Remove the carbon, but be sure not to use the brush enough to cause
damage to the body of the nozzle.
NOTE: A change in color in the area below the groove is normal and does not effect the body of the
nozzle.

NOTE: The bleed screw and seal must be removed for all tests except the Bleed Screw Leakage Test.
2. Install fuel injection nozzle with 5P7448 Adapter (A) on tube assembly (6). Position the bleed
screw hole toward the tester and in line with 6V2170 Tube Assembly (C). This will make the fuel
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 7 of 108
spray pattern horizontal. Be sure the nozzle tip is down and extends into FT1384 Extension (F) and
8S2270 Fuel Collector (J).
When fuel injection nozzles are tested, be sure to wear eye protection.
Test fluid comes from the orifices in the nozzle tip with high pressure.
The test fluid can pierce (go through) the skin and cause serious injury
to the operator. Keep the tip of the nozzle pointed away from the
operator and into the 8S2270 Fuel Collector and FT1384 Extension.
NOTICE
Put a shop towel around the upper part of the nozzle to take in any fuel
leakage.
4. Open gauge protector valve (E). Operate the pump to make a slow increase in pressure until the
valve in the fuel injection nozzle just starts to open. Read the maximum gauge pressure at the instant
fluid flows from the tip.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 8 of 108
NOTE: It is possible for the pressure reading of the gauge to go down fast if the valve makes a noise
(chatters) when it opens. It is also possible for the pressure reading of the gauge to be almost constant
when the valve in the fuel injection nozzle opens.
NOTE: The valve in the fuel injection nozzle can be good and still not make a noise (chatter), or not
have a very fine vapor (spray) from the orifices in the tip of the fuel injection nozzle during Step 4.
If the opening pressure is not within specifications, do not use the fuel injection nozzle again.
1. Close gauge protector valve (E). Close on-off valve (H). Open pump isolator valve (G).
NOTE: Make sure nozzle extends inside and below the top of FT1384 Extension (F).
1. Remove all fuel from the nozzle tip and body with a clean cloth.
2. Put a clean cloth around the body of the nozzle to take in any leakage from the bleed screw hole
and prevent any fuel leakage to drain down to the tip of the nozzle.
3. Open gauge protector valve (E). Close on-off valve (H). Open pump isolator valve (K).
4. Make and hold for 15 seconds a pressure of 1380 to 2000 kPa (200 to 290 psi) less than the opening
pressure measured in the VOP Test and make a note of the number of drops that fall.
1. Close gauge protector valve (E) and on-off valve (H). Open pump isolator valve (K).
2. Point the tip of the fuel injection nozzle into the 8S2270 Fuel Collector and FT1384 Extension. Be
sure the bleed screw hole is positioned toward the tester and is in line with 6V2170 Tube Assembly
(C). This will make the fuel injection nozzle be 15° from vertical and the spray pattern will be
horizontal.
3. Make a rapid increase in pressure and look at the orifice discharge (shape of discharge) when fluid
begins to flow through the fuel injection nozzle. The discharge must be the same through all nine
orifices. Any change either vertically or horizontally, is an indication of a bad nozzle.
1. Install bleed screw (4) and the seal (washer) in the fuel injection nozzle. Tighten a type (A) bleed
screw to 0.9 ± 0.1 N·m (8 ± 1 lb in). Tighten a type (B) or (C) bleed screw to 1.8 ± 0.2 N·m (16 ± 2 lb
in). (Use the 6V4980 Torque Screw Driver to tighten the bleed screw to the correct torque.)
NOTICE
Do not tighten the bleed screw more than the torque shown. The bleed
screw or seal can be damaged.
2. Put the tip of the fuel injection nozzle down inside the 8S2270 Fuel Collector and FT1384
Extension.
3. Close on-off valve (H). Open gauge protector valve (E) and pump isolator valve (K).
4. Pump the tester until fuel injection nozzle is full of fluid and the pressure on the gauge is 12 800 to
14 800 kPa (1870 to 2165 psi).
NOTE: 15 or 20 strokes of the pump can be necessary for the pressure to get to 12 800 to 14 800 kPa
(1870 to 2165 psi).
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 12 of 108
5. If there is leakage, replace the sealing washer. Inspect the washer face of the bleed screw for
damage, replace if needed. Test the nozzle again. If there is still leakage, the fuel injection nozzle
must be replaced.
6. If no fuel leakage is found, the fuel injection nozzle is acceptable. Put a new seal (3) on the nozzle.
Install a new carbon dam (2) in nozzle groove with 6V4979 Carbon Seal Tool (N).
When fuel injection lines are disconnected or removed, always put caps or plugs on the ends to keep
dirt out of the lines. When fuel injection lines are installed, be sure all clamps and dampers are
installed in their original location.
The nuts that hold a fuel injection line to an injection nozzle and injection pump must be tightened to
the correct torque. If the nut is loose, fuel will leak from the connection. If the nut is tightened too
tight, the inside diameter of the line will become smaller and cause a restriction to the flow of fuel in
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 13 of 108
the line. Use a torque wrench and a 5P144 Fuel Line Socket to tighten the fuel injection line nuts to
40 ± 7 N·m (30 ± 5 lb ft).
Fuel injection lines which are bent, damaged or rubbing can leak and
cause a fire. Replace any lines which have damage or leaks that cannot
be corrected when tightened to the correct torque.
When there is too much wear on the fuel injection pump plunger, the lifter may also be worn and
there will not be good contact between the two parts. To stop fast wear on the end of a new plunger,
install new lifters in the place of the lifters that have wear.
An injection pump can have a good fuel flow coming from it but not be a good pump because of slow
timing that is caused by wear on the bottom end of the plunger. When making a test on a pump that
has been used for a long time, use a micrometer and measure the length of the plunger. If the length of
the plunger is shorter than the minimum length (worn) dimension given in the chart, install a new
pump.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 14 of 108
Look for wear at the top part of the plunger. Check the operation of the plunger according to the
instructions for the Fuel Injection Test Bench.
NOTICE
Before any parts are removed from the fuel injection pump housing,
thoroughly clean all dirt from the housing. Dirt that gets inside the
pump housing will cause much damage.
NOTE: The fuel rack must be in the center position before the fuel injection pumps can be removed.
1. Remove timing pin cover (1) from the side of the fuel injection pump housing.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 15 of 108
2. Move the governor lever to the FUEL OFF position and install timing pin (2) in the rack centering
hole as shown.
3. With the timing pin in position, move the governor lever to the high idle position. The fuel rack
will move until the edge of the groove in the rack makes contact with the timing pin. The fuel rack is
now in the center position. Fasten the governor lever in the HIGH IDLE position.
4. Remove the fuel injection line from the fuel injection pump.
5. Put the 8T5287 Wrench into spline of bushing that holds the fuel injection pump in the housing.
Remove the bushing.
6. Install the 8S2244 Extractor on the threads of the injection pump. Carefully pull the pump straight
up out of the bore.
Be careful when an injection pump is disassembled. Do not damage the surface on the plunger. The
plunger and barrel are made as a set. Do not put the plunger of one pump in the barrel of another
pump. If one part is worn, install a complete new pump assembly. Be careful when the plunger is put
into the bore of the barrel. When injection pumps and spacers are removed from the fuel injection
pump housing, keep the parts together so they can be installed in the same location in the housing.
NOTICE
1. Put the fuel rack in the center position. Make reference to Removal of Fuel Injection Pumps.
2. Put the 8S2244 Extractor on the threads of the fuel injection pump.
3. Make sure the lifter for the pump to be installed is at the bottom of its travel.
4. Put the groove of barrel (4) in alignment with the middle (fourth) tooth of gear segment (5).
5. Look into the bore for the fuel injection pump and locate both dowels. There is a dowel in the lifter
and a dowel in the opposite side of the bore in the fuel injection pump housing. Put the groove in the
pump barrel in alignment with the large dowel in the pump housing and put the slot (groove) on the
opposite side of the gear teeth on the sector gear in alignment with the small dowel in the lifter. Install
the fuel injection pump straight down into the bore.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 17 of 108
6. Push down on extractor (3) (hand force only) and install O-ring and bushing that holds the injection
pump in the pump housing. If the pump is in the correct position, the bushing will turn into the
threads of the fuel injection housing with the fingers until it is even with the top of the housing. When
the bushing is installed correctly, tighten the bushing to 165 ± 14 N·m (120 ± 10 lb ft).
NOTICE
7. Install the fuel injection line to the pump and tighten to 40 ± 7 N·m (30 ± 5 lb ft).
8. Remove timing pin (2) and install timing pin cover (1).
NOTICE
If one or more of the fuel injection pumps have been installed wrong, it
is possible for the engine to run out of control when started. When any
of the fuel injection pumps have been removed and installed, take the
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 18 of 108
a. Remove the air cleaner pipe from the turbocharger and leave the air inlet for the turbocharger open.
Be careful when plate is put against air inlet opening. Due to excessive
suction, the plate can be pulled quickly against air inlet opening. To
avoid crushed fingers, do not put fingers between plate and air inlet
opening.
c. Start the engine, and if engine starts to overspeed (run out of control) put a steel plate over the air
inlet to stop the engine.
No. 1 piston at top center (TC) on the compression stroke is the starting point for all timing
procedures.
NOTE: The engine is seen from the flywheel end when direction of crankshaft rotation is given.
4. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise approximately 30 degrees. The reason for this step is to be sure the
free play is removed from the timing gears when the engine is put on top center.
5. Remove the plug from the timing hole in the flywheel housing. Rotate the crankshaft until a 3/8"-
16 NC bolt, 50.8 mm (2.00 in) long, can be turned into the flywheel through the timing hole in the
flywheel housing. No. 1 piston is now on top center.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 20 of 108
NOTE: If the crankshaft is turned beyond top center do Steps 4 and 5 again.
6. The intake and exhaust valves for No. 1 cylinder will be closed if No. 1 piston is on the
compression stroke. You can move the rocker arms up and down with your hand.
7. If No. 1 piston is not on the compression stroke, remove the timing bolt and rotate the crankshaft
counterclockwise 360°. Install the timing bolt. The No. 1 piston is now at top center on the
compression stroke.
The 8T5300 Timing Indicator Group must be used with the 8T5301 Diesel Timing Adapter Group.
When checking the dynamic timing on an engine without a mechanical advance, Caterpillar
recommends that the serviceman calculate and graph the dynamic timing on a worksheet like Form
No. SEHS8140. These worksheets are available in pads of 50 sheets, order one Form No. SEHS8140.
See Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS8580, for information required to calculate the timing curve.
After the timing values are calculated and plotted, the dynamic timing should be checked with the
8T5300 Engine Timing Indicator Group. To do this, the serviceman must operate the engine from
1000 rpm (base rpm) to high idle and from high idle to 1000 rpm (base rpm). Unstable readings are
often obtained below 1000 rpm. He must record the dynamic timing at each 100 rpm and at the
specified speeds during both acceleration and deceleration. Then he should plot the results on the
worksheet.
Inspection of the plotted value will show if the timing is within specifications. See Special Instruction,
Form No. SEHS8580 for information required to calculate the timing.
1. See the Engine Information Plate for the performance specification number and make reference to
the Fuel Setting And Related Information Fiche for the correct timing specifications to use.
2. Make reference to Operation Instructions inside the lid of the 8T5300 Timing Indicator (1) or
Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS8580 for complete instructions and calibration.
Transducer In Position
(10) Injection transducer. (13) Fuel injection line for No. 1 cylinder.
3. Loosen all fuel line clamps that hold No. 1 fuel injection line and disconnect fuel injection line (13)
for No. 1 cylinder at the fuel injection pump. Slide the nut up and out of the way. Put 5P7436 Adapter
(9) in its place and turn adapter (9) onto the fuel pump bonnet until the top of the bonnet threads are
approximately even with the bottom of the "window" in adapter (9).
4. Put the 5P7435 Tee Adapter (11) on the injection transducer (10) and put the end of the 5P7435
Tee Adapter (11) in the "window" of the 5P7436 Adapter (9).
5. Put fuel injection line (13) on top of 5P7435 Tee Adapter (11). Install 5P7437 Adapter (7) and
tighten to a torque of not more than 40 N·m (30 lb ft).
6. Remove the plug from the flywheel housing. Install transducer adapter (5) into the hole the plug
was removed from. Tighten only a small amount.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 24 of 108
Transducer In Position
(3) TDC magnetic transducer. (5) Transducer adapter.
7. Push the TDC magnetic transducer (3) into the transducer adapter (5) until it makes contact with
the flywheel. Pull it back out 1.6 mm (.06 in) and lightly tighten the knurled locknut.
8. Connect the cables from the transducer to Engine Timing Indicator (1). Calibrate and make
adjustments. For calibration procedure, make reference to Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS8580.
9. Start the engine and let it reach operating temperature. Then run the engine at approximately one-
half throttle for eight to ten minutes before measuring timing.
10. Run the engine at 100 rpm speed increments between 1000 rpm (base rpm) and high idle. (Smaller
increments may be needed to find the point where timing advance starts and stops.) Record and plot
the engine timing indicator readings over the calculated timing graph.
11. If the readings are within ± 2.5° of the calculated timing graph and the angle of change is
approximately the same, the engine timing is set and operating correctly.
12. If the timing indicator readings are not within ± 2.5° of the calculated graph and timing advance is
not smooth through the speed range, an adjustment may be needed.
13. Make reference to Checking Engine Timing By Timing Pin Method for static adjustment of the
fuel injection pump drive. Check engine timing again if the static engine timing was not correct. If the
automatic timing advance is not correct, make a repair or replacement of the automatic advance unit.
There is no adjustment to the unit.
1. Put No. 1 piston at top center on the compression stroke. Make reference to Locating Top Center
Compression Position For No. 1 Piston. Remove the timing bolt and rotate the crankshaft clockwise
30°.
2. Remove timing pin cover (1) from the side of the fuel injection pump housing.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 26 of 108
3. Install 6V4186 Timing Pin (4) in the fuel injection pump housing as shown. Slowly rotate the
crankshaft counterclockwise until timing pin (4) goes into the slot in the fuel pump camshaft.
NOTICE
Too much pressure on the timing pin can damage the fuel injection
pump camshaft or the timing pin.
4. Put the timing bolt in the timing hole in the flywheel housing. Slowly move the crankshaft
counterclockwise (as seen from the flywheel end of the engine) until the fuel pump camshaft is tight
against timing pin (4). This removes gear clearance from the drive train. If the bolt can be installed in
the timing hole in the flywheel, the timing of the fuel injection pump is correct.
5. If the timing bolt does not go into the timing hole in the flywheel, the timing of the fuel injection
pump is not correct. Do the steps that follow to adjust the fuel injection pump timing.
6. Remove nuts (3) and cover (2) from the timing gear housing.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 27 of 108
7. Loosen bolt (5) that holds the timing gear to the fuel pump camshaft. Turn bolt (5) out
(counterclockwise) three turns.
8. Install 8S2264 Puller Group and loosen the timing gear from the fuel pump camshaft.
9. Rotate the flywheel clockwise 60° before top center No. 1 piston.
10. Tighten retaining bolt (5) finger tight. Be sure timing pin (4) is in the groove in the fuel pump
camshaft.
11. Slowly rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise until the timing bolt can be installed in the
flywheel.
12. Install 6V6176 Adapter on the timing gear. Use two 3/8"-24 NF bolts, 25.4 mm (1.0 in) long to
fasten the adapter to the puller holes in the timing gear.
13. Hold a torque of 60 to 70 N·m (45 to 50 lb ft) on adapter (10) in a clockwise direction, and tighten
bolt (5) that holds the timing gear to 270 ± 30 N·m (200 ± 20 lb ft).
14. Remove the timing bolt from the flywheel and timing pin (4) from the fuel pump camshaft.
15. Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise two revolutions. If the timing bolt can be installed in the
flywheel and the timing pin can be installed in the fuel pump camshaft, the timing is correct.
16. If either the timing pin or the timing bolt cannot be installed, do Steps 7 through 16 again.
The governor adjustment for the fuel ratio control linkage can be done with the fuel injection pump
and governor on or off the engine.
1. Remove cover (1) from the side of the fuel injection pump housing.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 30 of 108
Cover Removed
(4) Slot on fuel rack.
3. Install the bracket assembly on the fuel pump housing. Lever (5) on the bracket assembly must be
in slot (4) on the fuel rack. Push up on the bracket assembly while the bolts are tightened.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 31 of 108
Bracket Assembly
(5) Lever. (6) Shaft.
After the bracket assembly is tightened to the pump housing, shaft (6) must have axial (in and out)
movement, if there is no axial movement of shaft (6), check to be sure lever (5) is in the slot on the
fuel rack and that the bracket assembly is installed correctly. Check to make sure that lever (5) is not
bent. Lever (5) must be perpendicular (at right angle) to the mounting face of the bracket assembly.
4. Put 9S229 Contact Point, 9.7 mm (.38 in) long on 6V3075 Dial Indicator (7) and install dial
indicator in collet (2).
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 32 of 108
Governor
(8) Fuel ratio control
5. Remove fuel ratio control (8) from the rear of the governor housing.
7. Move the governor control lever to the FUEL OFF position (rotate governor shaft clockwise).
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 33 of 108
8. Install 6V4186 Timing Pin (10) in the hole in the bracket assembly. Push timing pin in until contact
is made with the fuel rack. Hold the timing pin gently against the fuel rack for Steps 9 and 10. If too
much force is used to hold the timing pin, the fuel rack can stick and cause an incorrect zero reading.
9. Hold the governor control lever in the HIGH IDLE position (rotate governor shaft
counterclockwise).
10. Insert 6V7942 Hook (11) into the hole that plug (9) was removed from. Engage the end of hook
(11) with collar (12) and pull toward the rear of the governor housing until the collar stops moving.
This will make sure the fuel rack stops against the timing pin. This is the rack zero position.
11. With the hook still pulled toward the rear of the governor, loosen collet (2) and adjust the
revolution counter on the dial indicator to zero. Tighten the collet just enough to hold the indicator in
this position. Move the dial of the indicator to get alignment of the pointer and zero.
13. Turn rod (13) out of 6V7941 Compressor Assembly (15) until knob (14) is 25.4 mm (1.0 in) from
the compressor body. Install 6V7941 Compressor Assembly (15) in the hole plug (9) was removed
from.
NOTE: The 6V7941 Compressor Assembly is used to compress the over fueling spring. The over
fueling spring must be compressed to get an accurate fuel setting measurement.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 36 of 108
14. Move the governor control lever to the FUEL OFF position. Use two S1614 Bolts and install
6V2017 Governor Adjustment Tool (16). Be sure the end of the tool is behind the governor linkage,
and that the flange is completely against the governor housing (the filter screen may have to be
removed).
NOTE: If it is expected to be necessary to change the setting, install the outer part of 6V2106 Rack
Adjusting Tool (17) along the left side of the 6V2017 Adjusting Tool when the 6V2017 Adjusting
Tool is installed.
15. Move the governor control to the FULL LOAD position and hold in this position.
16. Turn the over fueling spring compressor rod IN (clockwise) until the indicator hands stops
moving. This is the STATIC FUEL RATIO CONTROL LEVER SETTING.
17. Slowly turn the rod OUT (counterclockwise) until the indicator hand stops moving. This is the
STATIC FUEL RATIO CONTROL LEVER SETTING.
NOTE: There will be a small initial movement of the dial indicator hands, then, they will stop
moving while the rod is turned out for another 1 1/2 turns. Now the indicator hands will begin to
move again and will follow the turning of the rod until the setting is reached. It is important that the
rod be turned slowly so that the rack can follow the governor components.
18. Make reference to the FUEL SETTING AND RELATED INFORMATION FICHE for the correct
fuel ratio lever setting and compare to the dial indicator reading.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 37 of 108
19. If the fuel ratio control setting is not correct, use 6V2106 Rack Adjustment Tool (17) to loosen the
locknut and turn the adjustment screw (18). Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the amount of fuel
possible (less rack travel) at the limited rack position.
NOTE: One revolution of the adjustment screw will change the setting approximately 0.79 mm (.031
in).
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 38 of 108
NOTE: The dial indicator hands will not follow the turning of the adjustment screw. It will be
necessary to repeat Steps 15 through 19 until the correct setting is obtained.
NOTE: The governor seals do not have to be cut or removed for the checking procedures that follow.
For more information on the tooling and procedures, see Video Tape Form No. SEVV9173 and
Special Instruction Form No. SEHS8463 available on microfiche only.
1. Install the rack position indicator to measure fuel rack movement. See Steps 1 through 4 in the Fuel
Setting Procedure for the correct installation of the tooling.
2. Turn the engine start key ON to activate the shutoff solenoid. Do not start the engine at this time.
3. Move the governor control linkage to the full FUEL ON position and hold or fasten it in this
position.
4. Install the 6V4186 Timing Pin in the rack zeroing hole in the pump housing.
5. With the governor control lever in the full FUEL OFF position, use a 1N9954 lever and move the
manual shutoff shaft slowly to the FUEL OFF position (counterclockwise). Watch and make sure the
timing pin drops and engages with the slot in the fuel rack.
6. Release the manual shutoff shaft and zero the dial indicator. Move the dial indicator in the collet to
zero and tighten the collet. Make sure all three needles of the indicator are on zero.
7. Remove the 6V4186 Timing Pin and watch the dial indicator movement. The indicator should
show movement in the FUEL ON direction. If no movement occurs, repeat Steps 4, 5 and 6 to zero
the indicator.
9. Remove the air line from the engine. Put plugs over the opening to keep dirt out of the system.
10. Start the engine and operate it for a minimum of five minutes to get the governor and engine up to
normal operating temperatures.
11. Check the leak down rate of the fuel ratio control (with the engine operating at low idle) as
follows:
a. Connect a pressure gauge, a shutoff valve, a pressure regulator and an air supply to the fitting from
which the air line was removed.
b. Apply 70 kPa (10 psi) air pressure to the fuel ratio control.
c. Turn the shutoff valve OFF and check the leak down rate. Leakage of 20 kPa (3 psi) in 30 seconds
is acceptable.
d. If leakage is more than 20 kPa (3 psi) in 30 seconds, the fuel ratio control must be repaired before
Steps 13 and 14 are done.
e. Keep 70 kPa (10 psi) air pressure on the fuel ratio control for Step 12.
NOTE: Step 11 also activates the fuel ratio control for Step 12.
12. From low idle, rapidly move the governor control shaft to the full FUEL ON position and read the
measurement on the dial indicator. Read the indicator carefully because this reading will be a
maximum for only a moment. Make a record of the maximum dial indicator reading. If full
measurement is not reached, increase the air pressure to make sure there is full fuel ratio control
movement.
NOTE: The fuel ratio control is activated and the maximum dial indicator reading is the dynamic full
torque setting of the engine. This setting is 0.5 mm (.02 in) greater than the static full torque setting
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 41 of 108
given on the Engine Information Plate of later engines or in the Fuel Setting And Related Information
Fiche.
NOTE: On engines with the fuel ratio control out of adjustment, the fuel ratio control can activate
shortly after engine startup. At this time the dial indicator reading can be the dynamic fuel ratio
control setting. Continue the checking procedure to find the dynamic full torque setting at Step 16.
13. Release all air pressure from the fuel ratio control. Start at 900 rpm and rapidly move the governor
control shaft to the full FUEL ON position and read the measurement on the dial indicator. Read the
dial indicator carefully because this reading will be a maximum for only a moment. Make a record of
this dial indicator reading. This is the dynamic fuel ratio control setting for the engine.
14. If the dynamic fuel ratio setting is within ± 0.25 mm of the specifications on the Engine
Information Plate or in the Fuel Setting And Related Information Fiche, an adjustment is not
necessary.
15. For adjustment of the control see Fuel Ratio Control Adjustment.
16. Check boost pressure that gives full torque rack travel, as follows:
a. Connect a pressure gauge, a pressure regulator and an air supply to the fitting from which the air
line was removed.
c. Start at 900 rpm and rapidly move the governor control shaft to the full FUEL ON position and
make a record of the maximum dial indicator reading.
d. Repeat this procedure several times, each time increase the air pressure 5 kPa (.5 psi).
e. Make a record of the first air pressure setting that gives full torque rack travel. Full torque rack
travel was measured in Step 12.
f. This is the boost pressure that moves the fuel ratio control out of the rack control position. This
pressure gives dynamic full torque rack travel.
NOTE: Before the governor seals are cut or removed, see Fuel Ratio Control And Governor Check to
make sure an adjustment is needed.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 42 of 108
1. See the Engine Information Plate or the Fuel Setting And Related Information Fiche for the correct
dynamic fuel ratio control setting specification before and adjustment is made.
2. Install and zero the rack position indicator group. See Fuel Ratio Control And Governor Check for
this procedure.
NOTE: On earlier engines, Step 4 must be done to make sure that stop (3) does not contact retainer
(2). Later engines do not have stop (3) and nut (4). Do not add these parts when the fuel ratio control
is repaired.
4. Loosen nut (4) and turn stop (3) in (clockwise) until the stop makes contact with the shoulder on
retainer (2). Now turn the stop out (counterclockwise) two completer turns and tighten nut (4).
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 43 of 108
5. Start the engine and operate it for a minimum of five minutes to get the governor and engine up to
normal operating temperature.
7. Hold retainer in position and loosen nut (1). This keeps the fuel ratio diaphragm from turning when
nut (1) is loosened or tightened.
8. Turn valve extension (5) to get the correct setting. A clockwise direction will give a more positive
setting. The counterclockwise direction will give a more negative setting. Several adjustments of
valve extension (5) may be needed to get the correct dynamic fuel ratio control setting.
9. After each adjustment is made, check the dynamic fuel ratio control setting. Start at 900 rpm and
rapidly move the governor control shaft to the full FUEL ON position and read the measurement on
the dial indicator. Read the dial indicator carefully because this reading will be a maximum for only a
moment. Make a record of the maximum dial indicator reading.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 44 of 108
NOTE: If the correct dynamic fuel ratio control setting cannot be made with this adjustment, the
internal governor linkage must be checked and adjusted or the fuel ratio control needs repair or
replacement. See Check And Adjustment Of The Fuel Ratio Control Linkage for the governor linkage
procedure.
10. After the correct adjustment has been made, tighten nut (1). Check the dynamic fuel ratio control
setting again.
11. Install the gasket and cover on the fuel ratio control. Tighten the bolts to a torque of 9 ± 3 N·m (7
± 2 lb ft).
12. Apply 70 kPa (10 psi) air pressure to the fuel ratio control at the fitting. This will fully extend the
fuel ratio control to get dynamic full torque.
13. Check the dynamic full torque setting. Start at 900 rpm and rapidly move the governor control
shaft to the full FUEL ON position and read the maximum measurement on the dial indicator.
NOTE: If the dynamic full torque setting cannot be reached a repair or replacetment of the fuel ratio
control is needed.
15. Install the wire and seal on the fuel ratio control
The static fuel setting can be done with the fuel injection pump and governor on or off the engine. For
more information on the fuel setting procedure, see Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS8024.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 45 of 108
1. Remove cover (1) from the side of the fuel injection pump housing.
Cover Removed
(4) Slot on fuel rack.
3. Install the bracket assembly on the fuel pump housing. Lever (5) on the bracket assembly must be
in slot (4) on the fuel rack. Push up on the bracket assembly while the bolts are tightened.
Bracket Assembly
(5) Lever. (6) Shaft.
After the bracket assembly is tightened to the pump housing, shaft (6) must have axial (in and out)
movement, If there is no axial movement of shaft (6), check to be sure lever (5) is in the slot on the
fuel rack and that the bracket assembly is installed correctly. Check to make sure that lever (5) is not
bent. Lever (5) must be perpendicular (at right angle) to the mounting face of the bracket assembly.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 47 of 108
4. Put 9S229 Contact Point, 9.7 mm (.38 in) long on 6V3075 Dial Indicator (7) and install dial
indicator in collet (2).
Governor
(8) Fuel ratio control
5. Remove fuel ratio control (8) from the rear of the governor housing.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 48 of 108
7. Move the governor control lever to the FUEL OFF position (rotate governor shaft clockwise).
8. Install 6V4186 Timing Pin (10) in the hole in the bracket assembly. Push timing pin in until contact
is made with the fuel rack. Hold the timing pin gently against the fuel rack for Steps 9 and 10. If too
much force is used to hold the timing pin, the fuel rack can stick and cause an incorrect zero reading.
9. Hold the governor control lever in the HIGH IDLE position (rotate governor shaft
counterclockwise).
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 50 of 108
10. Insert 6V7942 Hook (11) into the hole that plug (9) was removed from. Engage the end of hook
(11) with collar (12) and pull toward the rear of the governor housing until the collar stops moving.
This will make sure the fuel rack stops against the timing pin. This is the rack zero position.
11. With the hook still pulled toward the rear of the governor, loosen collet (2) and adjust the
revolution counter on the dial indicator to zero. Tighten the collet just enough to hold the indicator in
this position. Move the dial of the indicator to get alignment of the pointer and zero.
13. Turn rod (13) out of 6V7941 Compressor Assembly (15) until knob (14) is 25.4 mm (1.0 in) from
the compressor body. Install 6V7941 Compressor Assembly (15) in the hole plug (9) was removed
from.
NOTE: The 6V7941 Compressor Assembly is used to compress the over fueling spring. The over
fueling spring must be compressed to get an accurate fuel setting measurement.
NOTE: The procedure to check the fuel setting is different that the procedure to adjust the fuel
setting. Follow Steps 14 through 17 to check the fuel setting. Follow Steps 18 through 21 to adjust the
fuel setting.
14. Fasten the clip end of 8T500 Circuit Tester (16) to rack contact screw (17) and put the other end
to a good electrical ground.
15. Hold the governor control lever in the FUEL ON position (rotate lever fully counterclockwise).
16. Turn rod (13) of compressor assembly (15) in (clockwise) until the light in circuit tester (16) goes
off and the dial indicator hands move an additional 2 mm in the negative (-) direction after the light
goes out.
NOTICE
DO NOT turn the rod any further in if the rod begins to tighten.
Damage to the governor can occur if the rod is turned in further.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 52 of 108
17. Slowly turn rod (13) out (counterclockwise) until the circuit tester light just comes on. This is the
static fuel setting. See the Fuel Setting And Related Information Fiche for the correct static fuel
setting.
NOTE: When the rod is turned out, there will be a small initial movement of the dial indicator hands,
then, they will stop moving while the rod is turned out for approximately another 1 1/2 turns. Now the
indicator hands will begin to move again and will follow the turning of the rod until the setting is
reached. It is important that the rod be turned slowly so that the rack can follow the governor
components.
18. If the fuel setting is not correct, remove adjustment screw cover (18) from the rear of the governor
housing.
19. Determine how much the setting will have to be changed (see example). Use the chart that follows
to determine how far the adjusting screw must be turned.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 53 of 108
Since "desired setting" is higher than "actual reading," turn adjusting screw out (counterclockwise)
approximately 1/4 turn. Recheck the new setting and readjust if necessary.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 54 of 108
Since "desired setting" is lower than "actual reading," turn the adjusting screw in (clockwise)
approximately 1 1/8 turns. Recheck the new setting and readjust if necessary.
Negative numbers work differently than positive numbers. If one number (-1.25) has a larger digital
value than another one (-1.05), the first number (-1.25) is actually less than the other one. Therefore,
in this example the "desired setting" is lower than the "actual reading." Turn the adjusting screw in
(clockwise) approximately 1/4 turn. Recheck the new setting and readjust if necessary.
The "desired setting" is higher than the "actual reading." Turn the adjusting screw out
(counterclockwise) approximately 1 1/8 turns. Recheck the new setting and readjust if necessary.
The "desired setting" is lower than the "actual reading." Turn the adjusting screw in approximately 2
7/8 turns.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 55 of 108
The "desired setting" is higher than the "actual reading." Turn the adjusting screw out approximately
2 7/8 turns.
20. Use 6V2106 Rack Adjustment Tool Group (20) to loosen the locknut for adjustment screw and to
turn the adjustment screw.
21. Adjust the fuel setting screw the number of turns determined in Step 19. Always recheck the
setting after each adjustment and adjust again if needed.
The 6V3121 Multitach Group can measure engine speed from a tachometer drive on the engine. It
also has the ability to measure engine speed from visual engine parts in rotation.
Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS7807 is with the 6V3121 Multitach Group and gives instructions
for the test procedure.
The 6V4950 Injection Line Speed Pickup Group is another diagnostic tool accessory that can be used
with the 6V2100 Multitach. It can be used on all Caterpillar Diesel Engines equipped with 6 mm (.25
in) single wall fuel injection lines. With this pickup group, engine speed can be measured quickly,
automatically, and with an accuracy of ± 1 rpm.
Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS8029 is with the group and gives instructions for use of the
6V4950 Injection Line Speed Pickup Group.
Governor Adjustments
NOTICE
Engine rpm must be checked with an accurate tachometer. Make reference to Measuring Engine
Speed.
NOTE: The correct LOW IDLE rpm is given in the Fuel Setting And Related Information Fiche.
Start the engine and run until the temperature of normal operation is reached. Check low idle rpm
with no load on the engine. If an adjustment is necessary, use the procedure that follows:
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 58 of 108
1. To adjust the LOW IDLE rpm, start the engine and run with the governor in the low idle position.
Loosen the locknut for low idle screw (2). Turn the low idle screw to get the correct low idle rpm.
Increase engine speed and return to low idle and check low idle speed again. Tighten the locknut.
The engine set point is an adjusted specification and is important to the correct operation of the
engine. High idle rpm is NOT an adjusted specification. Set point (formerly balance point) is full load
rpm plus an additional 20 rpm. Set point is the rpm at which the fuel setting adjustment screw and
stop or first torque spring just start to make contact. At this rpm, the fuel setting adjustment screw and
stop or first torque spring still have movement between them. When additional load is put on the
engine, the fuel setting adjustment screw and stop or first torque spring will become stable against
each other. Set point is controlled by the fuel setting and the high idle adjustment screw.
There is a new and more accurate method for checking the "set point", formerly called the balance
point, of the engine. If the tools for the new method are not available, there is an alternate method for
checking the "set point".
The 6V4060 Engine Set Point Indicator Group with the 6V2100 Multitach can be used to check the
set point. Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS7931 Gives instructions for installation and use of this
tool group.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 59 of 108
Alternate Method
If the set point is correct and the high idle speed is within specifications, the fuel system operation of
the engine is correct. The set point for the engine is:
Use the procedure that follows to check the set point. Make reference to Techniques For Loading
Engines in Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS7050.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 60 of 108
Terminal Location
(3) Brass terminal screw.
2. Connect the clip end of the 8T500 Circuit Tester to the brass terminal screw (3) on the governor
housing. Connect the other end of the tester to a place on the fuel system which is a good ground
connection.
Work carefully around an engine that is running. Engine parts that are
hot, or parts that are moving, can cause personal injury.
4. With the engine at normal conditions for operation, run the engine at high idle.
6. Add load on the engine slowly until the circuit tester light just comes on (minimum light output).
This is the set point.
8. Repeat Step 6 several times to make sure that the reading is correct.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 61 of 108
9. Stop the engine. Make a comparison of the records from Steps 5 and 7 with the information from
the Engine Information Plate. If the Engine Information Plate is not available, see the Fuel Setting
And Related Information Fiche.
The tolerance for the set point is ± 10 rpm. The tolerance for the high idle rpm is ± 30 rpm. If the
readings from Steps 5 and 7 are within the tolerance, no adjustment is needed.
NOTE: It is possible in some applications that the high idle rpm will be less than the lower limit. This
can be caused by high parasitic loads such as hydraulic pumps, compressors, etc.
1. If the set point and the high idle rpm are within tolerance, no adjustment is to be made.
2. If the set point rpm is not correct, remove cover (1) and loosen locknut. Turn adjustment screw (4)
to adjust the set point to the midpoint of the tolerance.
3. When the set point is correct, check the high idle rpm. The high idle rpm must not be more than the
high limit of the tolerance.
If the high idle rpm is more than the high limit of the tolerance, check the governor spring and
flyweights. If the high idle rpm is less than the low limit of the tolerance, check for excess parasitic
loads and then the governor spring and flyweights.
The dashpot adjustment screw does not normally need adjustment from the factory setting. If the
engine is slow to change rpm with a change in load, it is possible that the dashpot adjustment screw is
not adjusted correctly.
Torque Limiter
The torque limiter can be adjusted either on or off the engine. In either application a two liter volume
tank is installed between the air source and the torque limiter to simulate the engine inlet manifold
volume. Without the two liter tank in the system, pressure spikes may occur during testing on the
outlet side of the torque limiter. This make it difficult to adjust the torque limiter.
Connect an external 50 kPa (7 psi) air source to the inlet manifold side (1) of the torque limiter. A
pressure gauge (with a known accuracy of 1 kPa (.2 psi) is connected to the fuel ratio control side (2)
of the torque limiter.
If the torque limiter is removed from the engine, use an external power source to operate the torque
limiter at 600 rpm (1200 engine rpm). If the torque limiter is engine mounted, operate engine at 1200
rpm. With air applied to system the outlet pressure at the gauge must be 22 kPa (3.2 psi) for the 270
horsepower, JWAC and ATAAC engine application. The 300 horsepower ATAAC engine
application, the outlet pressure must be 32 kPa (4.6 psi). A counterclockwise rotation of the
adjustment screw will increase air pressure. Tighten the adjustment nut to 3.4 ± 0.6 N·m (30.0 ± 5.3 lb
in).
Air flow through the air cleaner must not have a restriction of more than 762 mm (30 in) of water
difference in pressure.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 64 of 108
Back pressure from the exhaust (pressure difference measurement between exhaust outlet elbow and
atmosphere) must not be more than 686 mm (27 in H2O) on engines with a turbocharger.
The correct pressure for the inlet manifold is given in the Fuel Setting And Related Information Fiche.
Development of this information is done with these conditions: 746.7 mm (29.4 in) of mercury
barometric pressure, 29°C (85°F) outside air temperature and 35 API rated fuel. Any change from
these conditions can change the pressure in the inlet manifold. Outside air that has higher temperature
and lower barometric pressure than given above will cause a lower horsepower and inlet manifold
pressure measurement, than given in the Fuel Setting And Related Information Fiche. Outside air that
has a lower temperature and higher barometric pressure will cause a higher horsepower and inlet
manifold pressure measurement.
A difference in fuel rating will also change horsepower and the pressure in the inlet manifold. If the
fuel is rated above 35 API, pressure in the inlet manifold can be less than given in the Fuel Setting
And Related Information Fiche. If the fuel is rated below 35 API, the pressure in the inlet manifold
can be more than given in the Fuel Setting And Related Information Fiche.
NOTE: Be sure that the air inlet and exhaust do not have a restriction when making a check of
pressure in the inlet manifold.
Use the 1U5470 Engine Pressure Group to check the pressure in the inlet manifold.
This tool group has a gauge to read pressure in the inlet manifold. Special Instruction, Form No.
SEHS8524 is with the tool group and gives information on the use of the group.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 65 of 108
Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS8446 gives the procedures for using the 8T470 Thermistor
Thermometer Group.
Visual Inspection
Inspect all air lines, hoses and gasket connections at each oil change. Make sure the constant torque
hose clamps are tightened to the correct torque. Check the truck manufacturer's specifications for the
correct torque. Check welded joints for cracks and make sure all brackets are tightened in position and
are in good condition. Use compressed air to clean cooler core blockage caused by debris or dust.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 66 of 108
Inspect the cooler core fins for damage, debris or salt corrosion. Use a stainless steel brush with soap
and water to remove corrosion.
When using pressure air for cleaning wear a protective face shield,
protective clothing and protective shoes.
NOTE: When air to air aftercooler system parts are repaired and/or replaced, a leak test is
recommended.
The use of winter fronts or shutters is discouraged with air to air aftercooled systems. Winter fronts
can only be used on truck models where test have shown that the engine jacket water will overheat
before the inlet manifold air temperature is excessive. On these trucks, sensors and gauges or alarms
are installed to indicate engine operating conditions before excessive inlet manifold air temperatures
are reached. Check with the truck manufacturer on winter front and shutter application.
Pressure measurements should be taken at the turbocharger outlet and inlet manifold. When the total
pressure drop of the charged air system at maximum air flow exceeds 13.5 kPa (4 in Hg), the air lines
and cooler core must be inspected for internal restriction and cleaned, repaired or replaced as
necessary.
Turbocharger Failure
When using pressure air for cleaning, wear a protective face shield,
protective clothing and protective shoes.
The maximum air pressure must be below 205 kPa (30 psi) for cleaning
purposes.
If a turbocharger failure occurs, remove the air to air cooler core and flush internally with a solvent
that removes oil and other foreign substances. Shake cooler to eliminate any trapped debris. Wash
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 67 of 108
with hot, soapy water; rinse thoroughly with clean water; and blow dry with compressed air in reverse
direction of normal air flow. Carefully inspect the system to make sure it is clean.
NOTICE
Normal inlet manifold pressure with high exhaust temperature can be caused by cooler core fin
blockage. Clean the cooler core fins, see Visual Inspection for the cleaning procedure to use.
Low inlet manifold pressure and high exhaust manifold temperature can be caused by any of the
conditions that follow:
2. A blockage in the air lines between the air cleaner and turbocharger. All restrictions must be
removed.
3. Cooler core leakage. Pressure test the cooler core, see Aftercooler Core Leakage for the correct
procedure to use and repair or replace as needed.
4. Leakage from the pressure side of the induction system. Check and repair leaks.
5. Inlet manifold leak. Check for loose, missing and damaged fittings or plugs. Also check the
manifold to cylinder head gaskets.
A low power problem in the engine can be the result of aftercooler leakage. Low power, low boost
pressure, black smoke, and/or high exhaust temperature can be the result of an aftercooler system
leakage.
NOTICE
Remove all air leaks from the system to prevent engine damage. In
some operating conditions, the engine can pull a manifold vacuum for
short periods of time. A leak in the aftercooler or air lines can let dirt
and other foreign material into the engine and cause rapid wear and/or
damage to engine parts.
A large cooler core leak often can be found by making a visual inspection. To check for smaller leaks,
use the following procedure:
1. Disconnect the air pipes from the inlet and outlet side of the aftercooler core.
Tooling Installed
(1) Coupler. (2) Chain. (3) Dust plugs.
2. Install couplers (1) and dust plugs (3) from the FT1984 Air To Air Aftercooler Test Group as
shown on each side of the aftercooler core. Installation of additional hose clamps on hump hoses is
recommended to prevent the hoses from bulging while the aftercooler core is being pressurized.
Dust plug chains (2) must be installed to the aftercooler core or the
radiator brackets to prevent possible injury while testing. Do not stand
in front of the dust plugs while testing.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 69 of 108
Pressurize System
(5) Regulator and valve assembly.
3. Install regulator valve assembly (5) on the outlet side of the aftercooler. Attach air supply.
NOTICE
Do not use more than 240 kPa (35 psi) air pressure or damage to the
aftercooler core can be the result.
4. Open air valve and pressurize the aftercooler to 205 kPa (30 psi). Shut off air supply.
6. System pressure should not drop more than 35 kPa (5 psi) in 15 seconds.
7. If the pressure drop is more than specified, use a solution of soap and water to check all areas of
possible leakage and look for air bubbles. Replace hoses or repair the aftercooler core as needed.
To help prevent personal injury when the tooling is removed, relieve all
pressure in the system slowly by using air regulator and valve assembly.
8. After testing, remove FT Tooling and connect air pipes on each side of the aftercooler.
Exhaust Temperature
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 70 of 108
Use the 6V5000 Infrared Thermometer Group to check exhaust temperature. Special Instruction,
Form No. SEHS8149 is with the tool group and gives instructions for the test procedure.
Turbocharger
Every 7200 hours or if any unusual sound or vibration in the turbocharger is noticed, a quick check of
bearing condition can be made without disassembling the turbocharger. This can be done by removing
the piping from the turbocharger and inspecting the compressor impeller, turbine wheel and
compressor cover. Rotate the compressor and turbine wheel assembly by hand and observe by feeling
excess end play and radial clearance. The rotating assembly should rotate freely with no rubbing or
binding. If there is any indication of the impeller rubbing the compressor cover or the turbine wheel
rubbing the turbine housing, recondition the turbocharger or replace with a new or rebuilt one.
End clearance is best checked with a dial indicator. Attach a dial indicator with the indicator point on
the end of the shaft. Move the shaft from end to end making note of the total indicator reading.
Refer to the Specifications for the correct end play dimensions. If end play is more than the maximum
end play, rebuild or replace the turbocharger. End play less than the minimum end play could indicate
carbon buildup on the turbine wheel and should be disassembled for cleaning and inspection.
A more reliable check of bearing condition can be made only when the turbocharger is disassembled
and the bearings, shaft journal and housing bore diameters can actually be measured.
Pistons or piston rings that have damaged can be the cause of too much pressure in the crankcase.
This condition will cause the engine to run rough. There will also be more than the normal amount of
fumes coming from the crankcase breather. This crankcase pressure can also cause the element for the
crankcase breather to have a restriction in a very short time. It can also be the cause of oil leakage at
gaskets and seals that would not normally have leakage.
Normal crankcase pressure wilh a clean crankcase breather is 50.8 mm (2 in) of water or less.
Compression
An engine that runs rough can have a leak at the valves, or have valves that need adjustment. Use the
test that follows for a fast and easy method to find a cylinder that has low compression, or does not
have good fuel combustion. Find the speed that the engine runs the roughest, and keep the engine at
this rpm until the test is finished. Loosen a fuel line nut at fuel injection pump to stop the flow of fuel
to that cylinder. Do this for each cylinder until a loosened fuel line is found that makes no difference
in engine performance. Be sure to tighten each fuel line nut after the test before the next fuel line nut
is loosened. This test can also be an indication that the fuel injection is wrong, so the cylinder will
have to be checked thoroughly.
Cylinder Head
The cylinder head has valves, valve seat inserts, and valve guides that can be removed when they are
worn or have damage. Replacement of these components can be made with the tools that follow.
Valves
Valve removal and installation is easier with use of the 5P1330 Valve Spring Compressor Assembly
and 5S1322 Valve Keeper Inserter.
Tools needed to remove valve seat inserts are in the 6V4805 Valve Insert Puller Group. Special
Instruction, Form No. SMHS7935 gives an explanation for this procedure. The insert can be more
easily installed by lowering the temperature of the insert before installing it in the head.
Valve Guides
Tools needed to install valve guides are: 7S8858 Driver Bushing and 7S8859 Driver. The counterbore
in the driver bushing installs the guide to the correct height. Use a 1P7450 Honing Arrangement to
make a finished bore in the valve guide after installing the guide in the head. Special Instruction,
Form No. SMHS7526 gives an explanation of this procedure. Grind the valves after installing new
valve guides.
Use the 5P3536 Valve Guide Gauge Group to check the bore of the valve guides. Special Instruction,
Form No. GMG02562 gives complete and detailed instructions for use of the 5P3536 Valve Guide
Gauge Group.
Valve Clearance
NOTE: Valve clearance is measured between the rocker arm and the valves.
NOTE: When the valve lash (clearance) is checked, adjustment is NOT NECESSARY if the
measurement is in the range given in the chart for Valve Clearance Check: Engine Stopped. If the
measurement is outside this range, adjustment is necessary. See the chart for Valve Clearance Setting:
Engine Stopped, and make the setting to the nominal (desired) specifications in this chart.

NOTICE
Slave piston adjustment must be made with the engine stopped and cold. The exhaust valves on the
cylinder to be adjusted must be in the closed position.
1. Put No. 1 piston at top center (TC) on the compression stroke. Make reference to Finding Top
Center Compression Position For No. 1 Piston. Make adjustments to cylinders 1, 3, and 5.
2. Loosen locknut (2). With the exhaust valves closed (rocker arms loose) turn in the slave piston

3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 75 of 108
4. Hold the Jacobs Lash Adjusting Gauge (3) in position and turn wrench (4) in the counterclockwise
direction from the "A" mark to the "B" mark on the gauge. This will provide a slave piston clearance
of 0.89 mm (0.035 in). Tighten locknut (2) to a torque of 35 N·m (25 lb ft). Repeat procedure for
cylinders 3 and 5.
5. Remove the timing bolt and turn the flywheel 360° in the direction of engine rotation. This will put

Lubrication System
One of the problems in the list that follows will generally be an indication of a problem in the
lubrication system for the engine.
Too Much Oil ConsumptionOil Pressure Is LowOil Pressure Is HighToo Much Bearing
WearIncreased Oil Temperature
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. Check to see if oil comes out of 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, and this will cause gasket and seal leakage.
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:
Too 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 fuel leakage into the crankcase, or by increased engine temperature.
An oil pressure gauge that has a defect can give an indication of low oil pressure.
The 1U5470 Engine Pressure Group can be used to check engine oil pressure.
This tool group has a gauge to read oil pressure in the engine. Special Instruction, Form No.
SEHS8524 is with the tool group and gives instructions for the test procedure.
1. Be sure that the engine is filled to the correct level with SAE 10W-30 oil. If any other viscosity of
oil is used, the information in the Engine Oil Pressure Graph does not apply.
2. Remove oil pressure switch (1) and connect the 1U5470 Engine Pressure Group to the main oil
manifold at the location from which the oil pressure switch was removed.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 78 of 108
Work carefully around an engine that is running. Engine parts that are
hot, or parts that are moving, can cause personal injury.
3. Run the engine to get the engine oil temperature at 99°C (210°F).
NOTE: A 3°C (5°F) increase in temperature gives approximately 7 kPa (1 psi) decrease in engine oil
pressure.
NOTE: Make sure engine oil temperature does not go above 115° (239°F).
4. Keep the engine oil temperature constant with the engine at its rated rpm and read the pressure
gauge.
5. On the Engine Oil Pressure Graph, find the point that the lines for engine rpm and oil pressure
intersect (connect).
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 79 of 108
6. If the results do not fall within the "ACCEPTABLE" pressure range given in the graph, find the
cause and correct it. Engine failure or a reduction in engine life can be the result if engine operation is
continued with oil manifold pressure outside this range.
NOTE: A record of engine oil pressure, kept at regular intervals, can be used as an indication of
possible engine problems or damage. If there is a sudden increase or decrease of 70 kPa (10 psi) in oil
pressure, even though the pressure is in the "ACCEPTABLE" range on the graph, the engine should
be inspected and the problem corrected.
Check the level of the oil in the crankcase. Add oil if needed. It is possible for the oil level to be too
far below the oil pump supply tube. This will cause the oil pump to not have the ability to supply
enough lubrication to the engine components.
The inlet screen of the supply tube for the oil pump can have a restriction. This will cause cavitation
(low pressure bubbles suddenly made in liquids by mechanical forces) 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 (unseated) position, the lubrication system cannot
get to a maximum pressure. Oil pump gears that have too much wear will cause a reduction in oil
pressure.
If the bypass valve for the oil filter is held in the open position (unseated) because the oil filter has a
restriction, a reduction in oil pressure can result. To correct this problem, remove and clean the bypass
valve and bypass valve bore. Install a new Caterpillar oil filter to be sure that no more debris makes
the bypass valve stay open.
Components that are worn and have too much bearing clearance can cause oil pressure to be low. Low
oil pressure can also be caused by an oil line or oil passage that is open, broken or disconnected.
When engine is operated, cooling jets direct oil toward the bottom of the piston to lower piston and
ring temperatures. If there is a failure of one of the jets, or it is bent in the wrong direction, seizure of
the piston will be caused in a very short time.
Use the 5P8709 Piston Tool Group to check and adjust the alignment of piston cooling jets.
If the gauge for oil pressure shows enough oil pressure, but a component is worn because it cannot get
enough lubrication, look at the passage for oil supply to the component. A restriction in a supply
passage will not let enough lubrication get to a component, and this will cause early wear.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 81 of 108
Also check the oil cooler bypass valve to see if it is held in the open position (unseated). This
condition will let the oil through the valve instead of the oil cooler, and oil temperature will increase.
Cooling System
This engine has a pressure type cooling system. A pressure type cooling system gives two advantages.
The first advantage is that the cooling system can have safe operation at a temperature that is higher
than normal boiling (steam) point of water. The second advantage is that this type system prevents
cavitation (low pressure bubbles suddenly made in liquids by mechanical forces) in the water pump.
With this type system, it is more difficult for an air or steam pocket to be made in the cooling system.
The cause for increased engine temperature is generally because regular inspections of the cooling
system were not made. Make a visual inspection of the cooling system before a test is made with test
equipment.
NOTE: Water pump seals. A small amount of coolant leakage across the surface of the "face-type"
seals is normal, and required, to provide lubrication for this type of seal. A hole is provided in the
water pump housing to allow this coolant/seal lubricant to drain from the pump housing. Intermittent
leakage of small amount of coolant from this hole is not an indication of water pump seal failure.
Replace the water pump seals only if a large amount of leakage, or a constant flow of coolant is
observed draining from the water pump housing.
3. Look for bent radiator fins. Be sure that air flow through the radiator does not have a restriction.
7. Inspect the filler cap and the surface that seals the cap. This surface must be clean.
Remember that temperature and pressure work together. When a diagnosis is made of a cooling
system problem, temperature and pressure must both be checked. Cooling system pressure will have
an effect on cooling system temperatures. For an example, look at the chart to see the effect of
pressure and height above sea level on the boiling (steam) point of water.
The 8T470 Thermistor Thermometer Group is used in the diagnosis of overheating (engine hotter than
normal) or overcooling (engine cooler than normal) problems. This group can be used to check
temperatures in several different parts of the cooling system. The testing procedure is in Special
Instruction, Form No. SEHS8446.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 83 of 108
The 8T2700 Blowby/Air Flow Indicator Group is used to check the air flow through the radiator core.
The operating instructions are included with the group.
The 6V3121 Multitach Group is used to check the fan speed. The testing procedure is in Special
Instruction, Form No. SEHS7807.
One cause for a pressure loss in the cooling system can be a bad seal on the radiator pressure cap.
DO NOT loosen the filler or pressure cap on a hot engine. Steam or hot
coolant can cause severe burns.
After the engine is cool, loosen the pressure cap and let the pressure out of the cooling system. Then
remove the pressure cap.
Inspect the pressure cap carefully. Look for damage to the seal or to the surface that seals. Any
foreign material or deposits on the cap, seal or surface that seals, must be removed.
The 9S8140 Cooling System Pressurizing Pump Group is used to test pressure caps and to pressure
check the cooling system for leaks.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 85 of 108
DO NOT loosen the filler or pressure cap on a hot engine. Steam or hot
coolant can cause severe burns.
1. After the engine is cool, loosen the pressure cap to the first stop and let the pressure out of the
cooling system. Then remove the pressure cap.
2. Put the pressure cap on the 9S8140 Cooling System Pressurizing Pump Group.
3. Look at the gauge for the exact pressure that makes the pressure cap open.
4. Make a comparison of the reading on the gauge with the correct pressure at which the pressure cap
must open.
NOTE: The correct pressure that makes the pressure cap open is on the pressure cap and is also in the
Specifications.
To test the radiator and cooling system for leaks, use the procedure that follows:
DO NOT loosen the filler cap or pressure cap on a hot engine. Steam or
hot coolant can cause severe burns.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 86 of 108
1. After the engine is cool, loosen the pressure cap to the first stop and let the pressure out of the
cooling system. Then remove the pressure cap.
2. Make sure the coolant is over the top of the radiator core.
3. Put the 9S8140 Cooling System Pressuring Pump Group on the radiator.
4. Get the pressure reading on the gauge to 20 kPa (3 psi) more than the pressure on the pressure cap.
6. Check all connections and hoses for the cooling system for outside leakage.
7. If you do not see any outside leakage and the pressure reading on the gauge is still the same after 5
minutes, the radiator and cooling system does not have leakage. If the reading on the gauge goes
down and you do not see any outside leakage, there is leakage on the inside of the cooling system.
Make repairs as necessary.
2. Heat water in a pan until the temperature is 90°C (195°F), 92°C (197°F), or 98°C (208°F). Check
Specifications section for the correct temperature to use. Move the water around in the pan to make it
all the same temperature.
3. Hang the regulator in the pan of water. The regulator must be below the surface of the water and it
must be away from the sides and bottom of the pan.
5. After ten minutes, remove the regulator and immediately measure the distance the regulator has
opened. The distance must be a minimum of 9.53 mm (.375 in).
6. If the distance is less than 9.53 mm (.375 in), make a replacement of the regulator.
Basic Block
Piston Rings
Pistons With Keystone Rings
This engine has piston grooves and rings of the KEYSTONE (taper) design. The 1U6431 Keystone
Piston Ring Groove Gauge Group is available to check the top two ring grooves in the piston. For
correct use of the gauge group see the instruction card that is with the gauge group.
Use the 7S9470 Piston Ring Expander to remove or install piston rings.
Use the 5P3525 Piston Ring Compressor to install pistons into cylinder block.
Tighten the connecting rod nuts in the step sequence that follows:
The connecting rod bearings must fit tightly in the bore in the rod. If bearing joints or backs are worn
(fretted), check for bore size as this is an indication of wear because of looseness.
The correct cylinder liner projection is important to prevent a leak between the liner, cylinder head,
and block. Check cylinder liner projection above the spacer plate as follows:
1. Be sure that the surfaces of the cylinder block, cylinder liner, and the spacer plate are clean.
2. Install the spacer plate gasket and spacer plate (4) on the cylinder block. Use S1589 Bolts (1) with
two 1S379 Washers on each bolt to hold the spacer plate to the cylinder block. Put two bolts with
washers on each side of the opening for the cylinder liner. Tighten the bolts evenly, in four steps; 14
N·m (10 lb ft), 35 N·m (25 lb ft), 70 N·m (50 lb ft), and 95 N·m (70 lb ft).
NOTE: To keep from moving bolts and washers as each liner is checked install two bolts with
washers on each side of each cylinder liner, along the complete length of the spacer plate.
3. Install the cylinder liner without seals in the cylinder block. Put adapter plate (7) on the cylinder
liner as shown. Install crossbar (2) with 1D4595 Bolts (3), 2S736 Washers and 3H465 Plates (5) as
shown. Tighten the bolts evenly, in four steps; 7 N·m (5 lb ft), 20 N·m (15 lb ft), 35 N·m (25 lb ft)
and 70 N·m (50 lb ft). The measurement from the bottom of crossbar (2) to the spacer plate, must be
the same on both sides of the cylinder liner.
4. Install the 1P5512 Contact Point on dial indicator (6). Put the dial indicator in the 1P2402 Gauge
Body. To adjust the dial indicator to zero, put dial indicator and gauge body on the 1P5507 Gauge.
Move the dial indicator until the hand moves 1/4 turn. Tighten bolt on body to hold the dial indicator
in this position. Turn the dial face until the zero is in alignment with the hand.
5. Measure the cylinder liner projection as close as possible to the four corners of the adapter plate on
the liner. The liner projection must be 0.033 to 0.175 mm (.0012 to .0069 in). The difference between
the four measurements must not be more than 0.05 mm (.002 in). The difference in the average
cylinder liner projection of liners next to each other must not be more than 0.05 mm (.002 in). The
maximum difference in the average projection for all cylinder liners must not be more than 0.10 mm
(.004 in).
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 90 of 108
NOTE: If the liner projection changes from point to point around the liner, turn the liner to a new
position in the bore. If the liner projection is still not to specifications, move the liner to a different
bore.
6. When the cylinder liner projection is correct, put a temporary mark on the liner and the spacer plate
so at final installation the liner can be installed in the correct position.
Cylinder liner projection can be adjusted by the removal of material from (machining) the contact
face of the cylinder block with the use of 8S3140 Cylinder Block Counterboring Tool Arrangement.
The instructions for the use of the tool group are in Special Instruction, Form No. FM055228.
Cylinder Block
The bore in the block for main bearings can be checked with the main bearing caps installed without
bearings. Tighten the nuts holding the caps to the torque shown in the SPECIFICATIONS. Alignment
error in the bores must not be more than 0.08 mm (.003 in). Special Instruction, Form No. SMHS7606
gives instructions for checking alignment of the main bearing bores. 1P3537 Dial Bore Gauge Group
can be used to check the size of the bores. Special Instruction, Form No. GMG00981 is with the
group.
Heat the ring gear to install it. Do not heat to more than 320°C (608°F). Install the ring gear so the
chamfer on the gear teeth are next to the starter pinion when the flywheel is installed.
If any method other than given here is used, always remember bearing clearance must be removed to
get correct measurements.
1. Fasten a dial indicator to the crankshaft flange so the anvil of the indicator will touch the face of the
flywheel housing.
2. Put a force on the crankshaft toward the rear before the indicator is read at each point.
3. With dial indicator set at 0.00 mm (.000 in) at location (A), turn the crankshaft and read the
indicator at locations (B), (C) and (D).
4. The difference between lower and higher measurements taken at all four points must not be more
than 0.38 mm (.015 in), which is the maximum permissible face run out (axial eccentricity) of the
flywheel housing.
1. Fasten the dial indicator as shown so the anvil of the indicator will touch the bore of the flywheel
housing.
2. With the dial indicator in position at (C), adjust the dial indicator to "0" (zero). Push the crankshaft
up against the top of the bearing. Write the measurement for bearing clearance on line 1 in column
(C) in the Chart For Dial Indicator Measurements.
NOTE: Write the dial indicator measurements with their positive (+) and negative (-) notation
(signs). This notation is necessary for making the calculations in the chart correctly.
3. Divide the measurement from Step 2 by 2. Write this number on line 1 in columns (B) & (D).
4. Turn the crankshaft to put the dial indicator at (A). Adjust the dial indicator to "0" (zero).
5. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to put the dial indicator at (B). Write the measurements in the
chart.

9. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number in line III in columns (B) & (D). The result is
the horizontal eccentricity (out of round). Line III, column (C) is the vertical eccentricity.
10. On the graph for total eccentricity find the point of intersection of the lines for vertical eccentricity
and horizontal eccentricity.
11. If the point of intersection is in the range marked "Acceptable" the bore is in alignment. If the
point of intersection is in the ranged marked "Not Acceptable" the flywheel housing must be changed.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 96 of 108
1. Install the dial indicator as shown. Always put a force on the crankshaft in the same direction
before the indicator is read so the crankshaft end clearance (movement) is always removed.

Electrical System
Test Tools For Electrical System
Most of the tests of the electrical system can be done on the engine. The wiring insulation must be in
good condition, the wire and cable connections must be clean and tight, and the battery must be fully
charged. If the on-engine test shows a defect in a component, remove the component for more testing.
The service manual Testing And Adjusting Electrical Components, Form No. REG00636, has
complete specifications and procedures for the components of the starting circuit and the charging
circuit.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 100 of 108
The 6V4930 Battery Load Tester is a portable unit in a metal case for use under field conditions and
high temperatures. It can be used to load test all 6, 8 and 12V batteries. This tester has two heavy-duty
load cables that can easily be fastened to the battery terminals, and a load adjustment knob on the
front panel permits a current range up to a maximum of 700 amperes. The tester also has a
thermometer to show when the safe operating temperature limit of the unit has been reached.
NOTE: Make reference to Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS8268 for more complete information
for use of the 6V4930 Battery Loader Test.
The 8T900 AC/DC Clamp-On Ammeter is a completely portable, self-contained instrument that
allows electrical current measurements to be made without breaking the circuit or disturbing the
insulation on conductors. A digital display is located on the ammeter for reading current directly in a
range from 1 to 1200 amperes. If an optional 6V6014 Cable is connected between this ammeter and
one of the digital multimeters, current readings of less than 1 ampere can then be read directly from
the display of the multimeter.
A lever is used to open the jaws over the conductor [up to a diameter of 19 mm (.75 in)], and the
spring loaded jaws are then closed around the conductor for current measurement. A trigger switch
that can be locked in the ON or OFF position is used to turn on the ammeter. When the turn-on trigger
is released, the last current reading is held on the display for 5 seconds. This allows accurate
measurements to be taken in limited access areas where the digital display is not visible to the
operator. A zero control is provided for DC operation, and power for the ammeter is supplied by
batteries located inside the handle.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 101 of 108
NOTE: Make reference to Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS8420 for more information for use of
the 8T900 Clamp-on Ammeter.
The 6V7070 Heavy-Duty Digital Multimeter is a completely portable, hand held instrument with a
digital display. This multimeter is built with extra protection against damage in field applications, and
is equipped with seven functions and 29 ranges. The 6V7070 Multimeter has an instant ohms
indicator that permits continuity checking for fast circuit inspection. It also can be used for
troubleshooting small value capacitors.
The 6V7800 Regular-Duty Digital Multimeter (a low cost option to the Heavy-Duty Multimeter) is
also available; however, the 6V7800 Multimeter does not have the 10A range or the instant ohms
feature of the 6V7070 Multimeter.
NOTE: Make reference to Special Instruction, Form No. SEHS7734 for more complete information
for use of the 6V7070 and 6V7800 Multimeters.
Battery
Never disconnect any charging unit circuit or battery circuit cable from
battery when the charging unit is operated. A spark can cause an
explosion from the flammable vapor mixture of hydrogen and oxygen
that is released from the electrolyte through the battery outlets. Injury
to personnel can be the result.
The battery circuit is an electrical load on the charging unit. The load is variable because of the
condition of the charge in the battery. Damage to the charging unit will result if the connections
(either positive or negative) between the battery and charging unit are broken while the charging unit
is in operation. This is because the battery load is lost and there is an increase in charging voltage.
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 102 of 108
High voltage will damage, not only the charging unit, but also the regulator and other electrical
components.
Use the 6V4930 Battery Load Tester, the 8T900 Clamp-On Ammeter and the 6V7070 Multimeter to
load test a battery that does not hold a charge when in use. See Special Instruction, Form No.
SEHS8268 for the correct procedure and specifications to use.
Charging System
The condition of charge in the battery at each regular inspection will show if the charging system
operates correctly. An adjustment is necessary when the battery is constantly in a low condition of
charge or a large amount of water is needed (more than one ounce of water per cell per week or per
every 100 service hours).
When it is possible, make a test of the charging unit and voltage regulator on the engine, and use
wiring and components that are a permanent part of the system. Off-engine (bench) testing will give a
test of the charging unit and voltage regulator operation. This testing will give an indication of needed
repair. After repairs are made, again make a test to give proof that the units are repaired to their
original condition of operation.
Before the start of on-engine testing, the charging system and battery must be checked as shown in the
Steps that follow:
1. Battery must be at least 75% (1.225 Sp. Gr.) fully charged and held tightly in place. The battery
holder must not put too much stress on the battery.
2. Cables between the battery, starter and engine ground must be the correct size. Wires and cables
must be free of corrosion and have cable support clamps to prevent stress on battery connections
(terminals).
3. Leads, junctions, switches and panel instruments that have direct relation to the charging circuit
must give correct circuit control.
4. Inspect the drive components for the charging unit to be sure they are free of grease and oil and
have the ability to operate the charging unit.

When an alternator is charging the battery too much or not enough, an adjustment can be made to the
charging rate of the alternator. Make reference to the Specifications section to find all testing
specifications for the alternators and regulators.
3T6352 Alternator
No adjustment can be made to change the rate of charge on the alternator regulator. If rate of charge is
not correct, a replacement of the regulator is necessary.
7N9720 Alternator
The solid state regulator used with the Bosch Alternator is totally enclosed and non-adjustable. If the
rate of charge is not correct a replacement of the regulator is necessary.
9G4574 Alternator
No adjustment can be made to change the rate of charge on the alternator regulator. If rate of charge is
not correct, a replacement of the regulator is necessary.
Starting System
Use the multimeter in the DCV range to find starting system components which do not function.
Move the start control switch to activate the starter solenoid. Starter solenoid operation can be heard
as the pinion of the starter motor is engaged with the ring gear on the engine flywheel.
If the solenoid for the starter motor will not operate, it is possible that the current from the battery did
not get to the solenoid. Fasten one lead of the multimeter to the connection (terminal) for the battery
cable on the solenoid. Put the other lead to a good ground. A zero reading is an indication that there is
a broken circuit from the battery. More testing is necessary when there is a voltage reading on the
multimeter.
The solenoid operation also closes the electric circuit to the motor. Connect one lead of the
multimeter to the solenoid connection (terminal) that is fastened to the motor. Put the other lead to a
good ground. Activate the starter solenoid and look at the multimeter. A reading of battery voltage
shows the problem is in the motor. The motor must be removed for further testing. A zero reading on
3306 Truck Engine 63Z00001-22741(SEBP1476 - 36) - Documentación Page 105 of 108
the multimeter shows that the solenoid contacts do not close. This is an indication of the need for
repair to the solenoid or an adjustment to be made to the starter pinion clearance.
Make a test with one multimeter lead fastened to the connection (terminal) for the small wire at the
solenoid and the other lead to the ground. Look at the multimeter and activate the starter solenoid. A
voltage reading shows that the problem is in the solenoid. A zero reading is an indication that the
problem is in the start switch or the wires for the start switch.
Fasten one multimeter lead to the start switch at the connection (terminal) for the wire from the
battery. Fasten the other lead to a good ground. A zero reading indicates a broken circuit from the
battery. Make a check of the circuit breaker and wiring. If there is a voltage reading, the problem is in
the start switch or in the wires for the start switch.
A starter motor that operates too slow can have an overload because of too much friction in the engine
being started. Slow operation of the starter motor can also be caused by a short circuit, loose
connections and/or dirt in the motor.
When the solenoid is installed, make an adjustment of the pinion clearance. The adjustment can be
made with the starter motor removed.
1. Install the solenoid without connector (1) from the MOTOR connections (terminal) on solenoid to
the motor.
2. Connect a battery, of the same voltage as the solenoid, to the terminal (2), marked SW.

4. Connect for a moment, a wire from the solenoid connection (terminal) marked MOTOR to the
ground connection (terminal). The pinion will shift to crank position and will stay there until the
battery is disconnected.
5. Push the pinion toward the commutator end to remove free movement.
Solenoid Assembly
(1) Intermediate housing. (2) Solenoid mounting bracket. (3) Bolts. (X) 62.5 + 0.2 - 0.5 mm (2.46 + .008 -.020 in)
The solenoid position on the starter motor controls the pinion clearance. If the solenoid position
dimension is correct, the pinion clearance is correct. The adjustment can be made with the starter
motor removed.
1. Check distance (X) between intermediate housing (1) and solenoid bracket (2).
2. If distance (X) is not correct, loosen bolts (3) and move the solenoid until distance (X) is correct.
Bracket (2) has elongated holes.
3. Tighten bolts (3) after the adjustment is correct, to a torque of 7 to 10 N·m (5 to 7 lb ft).
The armature end plate adjustment is made during assembly of the starter motor.

1. Remove center plug (1) and spacer (2) from the end cover.
2. Force the armature assembly into the drive housing up against the spacer.
3. Measure distance (X) from the end cover to the armature assembly.
5. Subtract measurement (Y) from measurement (X). This difference is the armature end play. The
allowable end play is 0.1 to 0.4 mm (.004 to .012 in). The end play can be adjusted with different
spacers (2). The thickness of each is as follows:
1.5 mm (.059 in)1.7 mm (.067 in)1.9 mm (.075 in)2.1 mm (.083 in)2.3 mm (.090 in)2.5 mm (.100 in)
6. Install correct spacer (2). Put 9S3263 Thread Lock on threads of plug (1) and install it into the end
cover.
