Measurement Techniques
NOTICE
Measurement Tooling include precision inside and outside diameter micrometers capable of measuring four
decimal places in inches or three decimal places in millimeters. Measuring tools should be calibrated using
gage blocks certified to a national standard such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST).
Ensure that several sample measurements are taken at different locations on the same feature. Measure
diameters of internal bores in several places to identify tapered and or oval conditions.
Illustration 3 g06238164
Cap all machined surfaces and plug all the hoses and fuel lines.
Clean all the external surfaces before the engine is disassembled. Clean all the external surfaces before the
engine is brought into the shop. Use a high-pressure washer to spray the engine with hot water and soap or
174-6858 Cleaner.
Always wear protective clothing and eye protection when working with
cleaning solvents.
NOTICE
After the initial cleaning of the engine, disassemble the engine. Refer to the appropriate Disassembly and
Assembly manual for your engine.
All fasteners should be compared against Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8301, "Inspection and Reuse
of Critical Fasteners Used in All Engines". Pay special attention to head bolts, main bolts, connecting rod
bolts, and rocker shaft bolts when considering reusability. Any visual damage to the bolts should disqualify
the bolt from reuse.
Note: Itis recommended to replace all cylinder head bolts and the spacer plates (if applicable) on any engine
that has experienced a failure of the top deck/cylinder head joint.
NOTICE
Failure to remove all dirt, debris, and/or metal shavings from openings,
ports, and passages, will result in damage to the engine and the related
components. A cylinder block that is not cleaned thoroughly will result
in piston seizure or rapid wear of the cylinder bores, pistons, and
piston rings. Only the thorough use of a rotary brush will correctly
remove abrasive particles.
Note: Do not use surface reconditioning pads on the top deck of the block, spacer plates, and cylinder
head surfaces.

Visual Inspection
Damage of the Cylinder Block
Cracking
Cylinder blocks with cracks on the top deck surface under the liner flange can be repaired with metal spray or
inserts. Cracking that extends from a coolant passage or from a bolt hole into the cylinder block bore cannot
be salvaged.
Illustration 9 g01393786
Cracks extend from bolt holes (1) and coolant passages (2) into the bore of the cylinder block.
Do not use the block again.
Pitting of the cylinder block near the coolant passages or under the liner seat can result in external coolant
leaks.
Illustration 10 g01393798
Damage from pitting (3) around the coolant passages
If the pitting is deeper than 0.13 mm (0.005 inch) or if the pitting has occurred completely around the coolant
passage, then repair the pitting by using one of the following methods.
Illustration 11 g06181013
Example of pitting as it relates to the Upper Liner Seal.
(1) Liner cross section
(2) Cylinder Block
(3) Upper Liner Seal cross section
(4) Pitting
In some conditions, pitting can develop in the cylinder block liner bores near the bottom edge of Upper Liner
Seal (3). If pitting in the upper bore is discovered, then the location and severity must be considered when
assessing repair options.
Pitting discovered in this area of the block does not necessarily need to be salvaged. Pitting can vary in
location and severity. Usually the pitting is cosmetic in nature and the cylinder block can be reused without
durability concerns.
Note: Pitting measurements are not exact dimensions and measuring the pitting severity with a high degree of
precision is not necessary. A liner bore inspection tool or calipers are sufficient for measuring from the top
deck. A visual estimation is adequate for determining pitting depth. Refer to Figure 91 for the Liner Bore
Inspection Tool print specifications.
Generally, pitting within 4.5 mm (0.17 inch) from the top deck and/or 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) in depth or deeper
will need to be repaired. The measurement 4.5 mm (0.17 inch)is an approximate dimension measure from the
block deck surface.

(5) Sealing Region (less than 4.5 mm from the top deck):
(6) Non-Sealing Region (more than 4.5 mm from the block deck)
Note: Prudence and sound technical judgment is required when deciding between direct reuse of the block
and salvage of the block. Currently, block inserting is the best salvage option available. Dealers must
consider their own experience and aptitude for inserting when considering salvaging the cylinder block.
Illustration 14 g06024328
Example of moderate to severe pitting that approaches liner bore chamfer.
(A) 4.5 mm (0.17 inch)
Pitting as shown in Illustration 14 ranges from moderate on the left to severe on the right. The pitting on the
left is within the 4.5 mm (0.17 inch) sealing region and begins to approach the liner bore chamfer on the
right. The combination of severe pitting on the right and the proximity to the chamfer would require this
example to be salvaged.
Illustration 15 g06181019
Examples of pitting severity.
(7) Severe Pitting: Salvage repair needed
(8) Moderate Pitting: Salvage repair needed.
(9) Minimal Pitting: Salvage repair not needed.
Illustration 15 highlights the range of liner bore pitting. In all three examples the pitting was greater than the
4.5 mm (0.17 inch) guidance. However, Example (3) of Illustration 15 must be salvaged due to the severity of
the pitting.
Pitting depth into the cylinder block liner bore can be difficult to measure and analyze. Sound technical
judgment is required when determining the severity of the pitting. If pitting depth is minimal and does not
affect areas that are likely to compromise the Upper Liner Seal performance, then direct reuse of the block
may be possible. If the pitting depth is severe, or the affected area is large enough to compromise the Upper
Liner Seal performance, then salvage procedures may be required.
Due to the case-by case, subjective nature of inspecting and assessing pitting near the upper liner seal,
numerous visual examples have been provided to serve as references. Photos are grouped by severity, notable
facts are presented, and reuse or salvage recommendations are offered. However, the final assessment of
severity and conclusion regarding reuse or salvage remains with the dealership.
The following are three examples of minimal pitting. These photographs are examples that do not need to be
salvaged.

The following are three examples of moderate pitting. These examples demonstrate situations that would be
more difficult to determine the need to salvage due to their subjective wear. Prudence and sound technical
judgment is required when deciding between direct reuse of the block and salvage of the block.

Salvage
To repair stripped or cracked head bolt holes, use the PT-2801 Porta-Thread Basic Kit, with the PT-2801-3
Service Kit. A thin-wall solid steel insert with a sealed bottom prevents coolant leakage from the cylinder
head bolt holes. This insert can often repair cracked blocks that, until now, would be scrapped.
Cylinder block repair is made easy using a base plate and drill jig to maintain perfect alignment during
reaming and tapping operations.

Repair Procedure
1. File the top deck to remove all burrs and high spots. Thoroughly clean the area for proper tool location.
2. Attach the drill jig (6) to the base plate (7) using the hex head bolt (5) and the washer (4). Place the
drill jig on the cylinder block, aligning the base plate over two holes across from each other. Use the
cylinder head bolts, washers, and the stud adapters (10) to secure the base plate (7) to the cylinder
block. Torque the bolts to 41 N·m (30 lb ft).
3. Loosen the hex head bolt (5) and position the drill jig (6) over the hole to be repaired. Insert the
locating pin (15) through the drill bushing and into the bolt hole. Tighten the bolt (5) to 40 N·m
(30 lb ft) and remove the locating pin. Refer to Illustration 27.
4. Insert special reamer (16) through drill bushing into top of bolt hole.
5. Install the universal drive (9) in the chuck of an electric drill (slow speed drill is best) and begin
reaming the damaged bolt hole. Stop after reaming to a depth of about one in. Refer to Illustration 27
6. Remove the reamer and clean out shavings with a chip removing unit. Continue reaming to the bottom
of the hole. Remove the reamer and thoroughly clean out all shavings from hole.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the tooling, keep the reamer shank and drill
bushing free of metal shavings.

(4) Max-Defined by rework type
It is critical to maintain the correct compression ratio of 3500 Engines during reconditioning. Do not exceed
the minimum specifications of top deck height. The ratio is increased as material is removed from the surface
of the cylinder head and block. If machining alone is not able to remove all the damage, then arc spray
(TWAS) can be performed.
Twin Wire Arc Spray is the Caterpillar recommended block salvage method. Applied properly, arc spray can
salvage the engine block to original parent material specifications with the added benefit of increased
corrosion resistance. The increased corrosion resistance that arc spray provides will help reduce future repair
needs.
Removal of Material
Machining the top deck of the cylinder block is the preferred method of repair when damage is small. When
machining is done on the top deck of the cylinder block, remove the minimum amount of material that is
necessary to remove the damage. Refer to Table 4 for reconditioning specifications.
Light machining of the top deck and/or arc spray is the preferred repair options for Cat engine blocks. If
metal spray capabilities are not available, then inserting the top deck is an acceptable practice. The top deck
can be inserted in the water ferrule and liner bore locations.
Illustration 33 g02602356
A cylinder block with minor pitting near the smaller water seals can also be repaired with Belzona® 1311
(Ceramic R Metal).
Note: The following areas must be covered or plugged during the repair: cylinder bore, inlet port, exhaust
port, and cylinder head bolt openings. These areas could become contaminated if not properly protected.
1. Use a ¾ inch drill bit to remove only enough metal to remove the porous material. The depth of the cut
should not exceed ¼ inch. The water port opening is the pilot on the small seal.
Illustration 34 g06304429
2. Grind an undercut around the middle of the ¾ inch water port opening, using a die grinder with a cutoff
wheel dressed to fit the opening.
3. Sweat the area to be repaired. This can be accomplished by using a propane or acetylene torch. Little
heat is required. This will remove the oil and moisture from the casting.
Note: Caution must be used to prevent the damaging of other seals, gaskets, and components in the
area.
4. Clean the prepared area with Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) cleaner. The Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic
R Metal) cleaner will dry and leave no film residue.
5. To maintain the proper water port diameter a ½ inch diameter by 3 inch long wooden dowel rod will be
installed in the water port opening. Before the rod is installed coat the rod with Belzona® 1311
(Ceramic R Metal) release agent and let dry.
6. Mix the Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) material per package instructions.
Note: Do not contaminate the product during mixing. Use a separate measuring devices or thoroughly
clean between the measuring of the two different agents.
7. Wet the area to be repaired. Apply small amounts of the Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) with a
small flat stick. Work the Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) into the undercut. Make sure that all areas
are wet.
8. Install the ½ inch dowel into the water port. This is after the release agent has been applied to the
dowel and has dried.
9. After the dowel is in position continue applying the Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) until the drilled
area is slightly higher than the top deck of the block.
10. After approximately 30 minutes from the original mix time, the applied material can be smoothed. Be
sure to wear rubber gloves and check to see if the surface of the repair material has a dried film, or is
sticky.
11. If the repair material sticks to the finger of the glove, it is still too wet. To get a smooth finish for the
material at the repaired area, dip the fingers of the gloves in water, and work the surface back and forth.
Use only enough water to wet the fingers. Too much water on the Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal)
repair material can have adverse effect on its mechanical strength.
12. Press firmly to force out any time that may have been trapped in the material during the smoothing
process. If this smoothing procedure is done correctly, it will reduce the time needed for sanding once
the Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) repair material has cured.
13. Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) repair material can be removed from non-repair areas using
theBelzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) cleaner before the Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) hardens.
14. Approximately two to three hours after the Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) has been applied, it
should be hard enough for sanding. Remove the excess material and sand flush with the top deck of the
cylinder block. Be careful not to dish the repaired area.
Note: Curing time. When the Belzona® 1311 (Ceramic R Metal) is mixed and used at a temperature of
21° C (70° F), it will develop its full mechanical capabilities in 24 hours
3500 cylinder blocks with pitting around the water passages can be repaired with stainless steel inserts.
NOTICE
Water ferrule inserts must be installed prior to the liner seat insert
counter-bore being cut. If the water ferrule inserts are installed after
the counter-bore is cut, then the counter-bore will distort.
Do not use oversized diameter water ferrule inserts. Water ferrule inserts must not come into contact with
liner seat inserts. There must be parent block material remaining between the water ferrule and the liner bore
inserts.

Pitting in the yellow area does not need repair. If the surface meets surface texture requirements to ensure water ferrule sealing, then
pitting between the water passage and the liner seat are acceptable.

Driver adapters for the water ferrule inserts can be fabricated to ease the installation of the inserts. The
drivers should be small enough so that the driver does not totally cover the insert. This will allow better
visual alignment of the insert when the insert is installed into the block.
The driver adapter for the smaller insert should have a shoulder that fits inside the hole in the middle of the
water ferrule insert. The driver adapter for the larger insert should have a counter-bore for the bolt head that
holds the adapter onto the driver handle. This adapter will allow the driver adapter to sit flush on top of the
larger water ferrule insert.
The following illustration and table lists approximate dimensions for the driver adapters.

2. Use an end mill to machine a counter-bore in the water passage. The end mill that is used on the small
counter-bore should be 20.637 ± 0.013 mm (0.8125 ± 0.0005 inch). The end mill that is used on the
large counter-bore should be 30.162 ± 0.013 mm (1.1875 ± 0.0005 inch). Refer to Table 10 and Table
11 for the dimensions of the counter-bore.
If the top deck is not machined after insert installation, then the insert thickness must be measured and
the counter-bore depth adjusted. The counter-bore depth must be cut such that the final water ferrule
insert projection is within ± 0.052 mm (0.002 inch).

3. Deburr the corner of the counter-bore and use isopropyl alcohol to clean the counter-bore and to clean
the inserts. A clean, lint free cloth should be used to clean any machining residue from the counter-
bores and the inserts.
Note: The radius on the outer diameter of the insert should be toward the cylinder block.
4. To ensure that the insert is pressed fully into the coolant passage, measure the counter-bore depth and
insert thickness. The difference should result in a uniform insert projection of 0.02540 mm (0.001 inch)
5. Apply Loctite 640 to the counter-bore on the outside edges and seating surface sufficiently to create a
continuous seal.
Excessive Loctite may make the final insert projection hard to achieve. If the insert is not seated within
10 minutes of the applying the Loctite, the Loctite can begin to set up keeping the insert from properly
seating. The Loctite will need to be removed and the install process must be started from the beginning.
Illustration 40 g02602319
7. Drive the insert into the counter-bore of the coolant passage using 441-3674 Water Ferrule Driver.
8. For the large insert ensure that the water feed holes do not overlap after the press fit.
9. Verify that the inserts are properly seated and sealed by performing a leak test.
Illustration 41 g02602326
An example of an insert pressed into a cylinder block.
Loctite must be allowed to cure for a minimum of six hours from the time the last insert was pressed in place
prior to leak testing. If the top deck will be machined, then the leak test must be conducted before and after
machining.
3. Spray soapy water on the seam where the insert and deck face meet. Spray the entire circumference of
the insert.
4. Inspect for bubbles around the outer diameter of the insert seam on the block face.
If bubbles are present, then remove the insert and investigate the root cause. Do not reuse the removed
insert.
This section contains the procedures to install liner seat inserts in the cylinder blocks of 3500 Engines. See
Table 7 for recommended repair options.
Salvaging the 3500 engine block can be accomplished by removing damaged material and replacing the
material with a sealed insert. The sealed insert is a more robust repair option than a non-sealed insert. The
sealed insert design has critical advantages over the non-sealed insert design.
The sealed insert has a metal shim with an integral seal. The integral seal provides a rubber face seal to
prevent coolant leaks from occurring around the insert. Tighter press fit on the insert eliminates the need for
any bonding adhesive. The inserts are backwards compatible. If the block being salvaged was inserted in the
past, then one of the inserts available will be applicable.
The liner seat inserts are made from stainless steel that provide corrosion resistance. Inserts that are made
from other materials are less resistant against fretting or corrosion.
Cylinder blocks that do not require an insert must have the top edge of the liner bore chamfered to accept the
352-6061 Liner Seal. The chamfer is needed to install the 352-6061 Liner Seal properly. The 353-5617 Insert
and 353-5618 Insert include a machined chamfer to accept the 352-6061 Liner Seal. Refer to the "Procedure
to Chamfer Liner Bores" section within this document for the procedure used to machine the chamfer.
If the 5P-4175 Counter-boring Tool Group is used to machine the counter-bore, refer to the " 5P-4175
Counterboring Tool Group" section of this guideline for instructions to use and adjust the tool group.
Note: Do not coat the 352-6061 Liner Seal in engine oil for installation. 5N-5561 Silicone Lubricant or
186-1528 Silicone Lubricant is used for lubrication. Refer to the appropriate Disassembly and Assembly
manual for additional assembly instructions.
NOTICE
Water ferrule inserts must be installed prior to the liner seat insert
counter-bore being cut. If the water ferrule inserts are installed after
the counter-bore is cut, then the counter-bore will distort.
Illustration 42 g03818628
Illustration of sealed insert
There are two insert diameter sizes available and both use the same integral sealed shim.
(A) Insert
The procedure to install the sealed insert involves counterboring the liner bore, cleaning the counter-bore,
installing the shim and insert, machining the liner bore and machining the top deck.
1. Determine the size of the insert needed is standard or oversized. Blocks that have been salvaged
previously with the standard-size insert, can be salvaged with the 473-0494 Insert Kit (Oversize)
inserts.

8. Use an impact or socket driver with a crossing pattern tighten the four bolts evenly to press the insert
squarely into the counter-bore. Torque the four bolts to 200 N·m (150 lb ft)
Note: The tooling will sit proud of the block when fully pressed in. This design is to concentrate the
installation force onto the insert and to allow room for water ferrule inserts.
Illustration 48 g03817098
Inspect insert projection with tooling in place.
9. Leave the tooling in place, use the liner projection tooling to measure insert projection in the notches of
the tooling. The tooling applies pressure on top of the insert to replicate the cylinder head onto the
liner.
10. When all inserts have been installed, bore the inside diameter of the insert to be flush with the liner
bore.
11. Mill inserts flush with the top deck of the cylinder block.
12. Reinstall the tooling and using the liner projection tooling check insert projection again for each bore.
This inspection ensures that the inserts have not shifted during the milling process.
Inserts installed in the field can be installed such that the insert does not require machining of the top deck.
Field installation requires measuring the deck height to verify the depth of the counter-bore.
Machining of the top deck is recommended when the entire block is being salvaged. Machining the top deck
ensures that the projection of the insert is within the correct specifications.
Machining ensures that the correct flatness and insert projection are obtained.
Machining simplifies the salvage process by not requiring a tighter tolerance control and liner
projection measurement.
Machining removes pitting from the water ferrules and the liner flange which may be necessary.
Leak Test
If the top deck will be machined, the leak test must be conducted before and after machining.
Illustration 49 g06181057
2. Connect an air hose and apply 206.8 kPa (30.00 psi) to the leak test tool.
3. Spray soapy water on the deck where the liner insert and the deck face meet. Spray the entire
circumference of the insert.
4. Inspect for bubbles around the outer diameter of the insert on the block face. If no bubbles are
observed, repeat the test for the next cylinder.
If bubbles are present, remove the insert and investigate the root cause.
If the cylinder block does not have a liner bore chamfer, does not require liner seat inserts, or has previously
had installed non-chamfered stainless steel liner bore inserts, then the top deck edge of the bore for the liner
must be chamfered to accommodate the 352-6061 Liner Seal.
Machining Process
Illustration 50 g02603916
(1) Cutter
NOTICE
Cut the chamfer on the largest bore first. Locating the tool on the
largest bore first will minimize the possibility of having to readjust the
tooling and ensure that a uniform liner flange mounting surface is
maintained.
Note: Cleanliness of the upper liner bore is critical to ensure a proper cut.
1. Thoroughly clean the block deck face and upper liner bore before locating the cutter body and tool.
2. Check the diameter of the bore for out of roundness. The diameter of the upper liner bore is
199.000 + 0.040 mm - 0.025 mm (7.8346 + 0.0016 inch - 0.0010 inch). A distorted bore cannot be
chamfered.
3. Locate the tool at the bore. The plate should slide into the bore when located properly.
4. Clamp the tool to the block. Tighten the bolts slowly and evenly to prevent the plate from becoming
cocked in the bore. The bolts should be tightened to 80.0 N·m (60.00 lb ft).
5. Retract the holder from the bore and install the cutter so that the edge with the angle will intersect the
top corner of the liner bore and the block deck face. When tightened, the cutter body will spin free.

6. Touch the cutting edge of the cutting tool off the corner of the upper liner bore and the block deck face.
Use a 2.00 ± 0.20 mm (0.079 ± 0.008 inch) shim or spacer (2) between the depth adjusting nut in place.
Remove the 2.00 ± 0.20 mm (0.079 ± 0.008 inch) shim or spacer (2) from tool once depth is set.
Note: When setting the cutting tool off the edge of the liner bore, allow for 2.00 ± 0.20 mm
(0.079 ± 0.008 inch) of vertical travel.
Illustration 53 g02604016
7. Use a drill to run the tool until the tool reaches the present depth.
Note: Deburr any sharp edges. Use the 365-1197 Liner Brush to deburr the upper and lower edge.

Finished chamfer
Inspect the entire chamfer to ensure a uniform cut around the circumference of the bore. The chamfer should
maintain the proper depth around the circumference. If the chamfer is not even, the tool should be reset and
the chamfer should be cut again.
Note: There is no difference in performance or reliability between a straight chamfer and the counter-bore
found on the 353-5617 Insert, the 353-5618 Inserts, and the 335-8971 Insert. The counter-bore is used on the
353-5617 Insert, the 353-5618 Insert, and the 335-8971 Insert for mass production purposes.
Note: Before performing the process review all the steps and ensure that the correct tooling and equipment is
available.
This section gives two methods that are used to salvage the cylinder block liner bores on 3500 Engines. The
first method uses a process that is known as step bore operation. A step, which is part of the cylinder block
casting, is created by machining an oversized bore in the cylinder block casting to a specified depth. A sleeve
is then inserted into the oversize bore and pressed against the step. The remaining step provides a positive
stop and ensures a good seal. The second method machines the oversize bore completely through the block
with no step. The sleeve is then retained by screws that are threaded into the sleeve and the cylinder block
casting. The second method involves machining an oversized bore in the block casting to accept a fabricated
sleeve. Two blind holes are drilled and tapped through the block and into the sleeve.

Refer to Illustration 57 and Table 15 to machine the counterbore for the lower liner sleeve into the cylinder
block. Ensure the liner bore (A) and (B) are concentric to the liner bore diameter. The preferred process for
machining the counterbore is with a CNC machine.
Note: Before any machining is started, ensure that calibration has been performed on your equipment. Refer
to your manufactures owner's manual for determination of instruments, equipment, and test devices according
to industrial requirement.
1. Establish X/Y/Z axis and ensure that engine block is square on machine.
Illustration 58 g06433131
2. Clean and inspect beforehand to ensure that there is no debris or damage to the bore. Use the individual
upper liner bore (A) as a datum for machining each individual cylinder you intend to repair. Probe at
least 8 evenly spaced points on bore to establish an accurate bore center for each individual cylinder
bore center line. Datum (A) must be established and then extended down, use this as the center line for
locating and aligning the step bore for the lower liner bore repair sleeve and especially for finishing ID
after bore repair sleeve is installed.
3. Ensure to plug all cylinder head bolt holes before starting. Failure to plug holes will allow machining
chips, turnings etc. to fill the cylinder bolt holes.
Note: If bolt holes are not cleaned, thread damage will occur.
4. Use boring tooling with a radius of 0.5 mm (0.01969 inch) max, machine bore diameter (B), and Step
(D). Refer to Table 15 and Illustration 57.
5. Ensure that the surface texture is < 2.5 µm (98.42520 µinch Ra) and < 16 µm (629.9213 µinch Rz). No
tool drag marks allowed on diameter.
6. Cat® does not manufacture a direct replacement part for the lower sleeve. The material must be
machined from adequate sized, fully compatible, general-purpose gray iron casting respectively. Their
size, circularity, free shape, Rz, Ws, and Wt characteristics are critical and must be controlled to
exacting tolerances. Refer to specifications in Illustration 59 and Table 16.

13. Dry the surfaces with clean dry air, verify that the sleeve and the counterbore are dry.
Note: There cannot be any foreign material in the counterbore or on the sleeve.
14. Ideally cylinder bore axis will be oriented parallel to the vertical.
Illustration 63 g06431729
a. Using a new clean brush liberally apply Loctite® 620 around 100% of the counterbore surface
only, there should be no dry area of the counter bore wall after application.
Note: The sleeve must be installed within 2 minutes of applying the Loctite® to the counterbore.
This time limit will ensure that the debris will not adhere to Loctite and contaminate the joint.
16. Ensure that sleeves are cleaned prior to freezing, lower the temperature of the sleeve to −85° C
(−121° F) to ease in assembly. Sleeve must be installed within half a minute of removing from freezer.
Illustration 64 g06431736
17. Using clean gloves, install sleeve with the chamfer toward the cylinder block.
18. Ensure that sleeve is evenly pressed squarely into the counter-bore and fully seated.
19. The Loctite® should extrude along the entire inner circumference of the bore between the sleeve and
the bottom of the counterbore.
Note: If the Loctite® is not extruded along the entire circumference, then the sleeve must be removed
and the installation procedure must be repeated with a new sleeve.
Illustration 65 g06368427
20. Use an 9U-6182 Inspection Mirror and a 0.025 mm (0.001 inch) feeler gauge to check for space
between the bottom of the counterbore and the sleeve. Check around the entire circumference. If the
feeler gauge goes into the joint, then the sleeve is not properly seated.
Note: Perform this step within 5 minutes of applying the Loctite® to prevent the Loctite® from
hardening before the feeler gauge can be inserted into the gap.
If the feeler gauge can be inserted at any point along the circumference:
Correct the cause (Cleaning, foreign material removal, or excessive Loctite® removal).
21. Remove the excess Loctite® using a clean lint free towel.
22. Allow at least 8 hours for curing before proceeding to final machining and wash operations.
23. Final machining can be done after verifying that sleeve is properly seated.

The liner seat inserts are precisely machined so the counter-bore in the top deck must be parallel to the top of
the cylinder block within 0.03 mm (0.001 inch). Follow this procedure to check the accuracy of 5P-4175
Counterboring Tool Group. The tool should be checked at specific intervals to maintain accuracy. Also, check
the tension of the drive chain during the inspection.
Note: The top deck of the cylinder block and the edge of the cylinder that will be counter-bored must be free
of debris, carbon buildup, and burrs before the tool group is installed on the cylinder block.
The accuracy of the boring tool can be done on any cylinder block if the top deck is in good condition or the
top deck is ground smooth and flat. The top deck must be smooth and flat to make sure that all depth
measurements are correct. All the adjustments and settings in this procedure must be made according to the
bore size of the cylinder block that is used for the accuracy check.

Tool Modifications
The 8T-2682 Plate will need to be modified sometimes when the cutter does not fit. This modification will
allow the 6V-2025 Cutter Assembly to slide deeper into the cutter slot.
The slot (AC) should be 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) wide. The slot should be 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) deep. This slot
can be enlarged with a 12.7 mm (0.50 inch) end mill.
The cutter will also have to be modified to chamfer the block properly. The modifications to the 6V-2025
Cutter and the 8T-2682 Plate are detailed in FT drawing FT-3166 Tool Assembly.
Note: The modified 6V-2025 Cutter can be used on previously installed non-chamfered stainless steel liner
bore inserts. The cutter may wear at an accelerated rate in this case.
Always check the condition of the cutter before use to ensure proper performance.
General Information
The 110-6994 Spacer Plate is needed with the 118-9494 Cylinder Liner that has a larger diameter of the
flange.
Because the spacer plate is made out of aluminum, the spacer plate requires special handling to prevent
damage.
The 110-6994 Spacer Plate replaced the 9Y-1485 Spacer Plate that replaced the 8N-6864 Spacer Plate. The
118-9494 Cylinder Liner is replacing the 110-6993 Cylinder Liner that replaced the 8N-6861 Cylinder Liner.

Initial Inspection
Before cleaning the spacer plate, make a quick visual inspection for bending, scratches, deep cuts, heat, and
impact damage. Do not reuse any spacer plate that has the following.
Burned path from exhaust gas leakage with measurable width and depth in any area
The aluminum spacer plate requires more care during handling and cleaning. Extra care will prevent damage
to the spacer plates, and extra care will also retain reusability. Recommended materials for cleaning are brake
cleaner solvent and/or blasting with 9U-5271 Glass Beads.
1. Use only glass beads. Do not use aluminum oxide or an abrasive material. Do not mix any material
with glass beads.
Brake fluid can be used to clean PtFE Teflon residue from spacer plates. Glass beads should be used with
certain precautions to clean aluminum plates. Glass beads tend to alter plate dimensions. Glass beads can hide
cracks that are normally seen during visual inspection.
Note: Do not use glass beads that are larger than 0.2311 mm (0.0091 inch) in size to clean the spacer plate.
For the best results, use glass beads that are size 10. The size of the glass beads must be 0.0889 mm
(0.0035 inch) to 0.1499 mm (0.0059 inch). The air pressure must be from 550 kPa (79.8 psi) to 620 kPa
(89.9248 psi). Change the glass beads and check the nozzle regularly for best results.
The following methods are also acceptable for cleaning the steel spacer plate:
Aluminum oxide
Scraping or sanding
Glass beads can be used to clean the spacer plates. Change the glass beads and check the nozzle regularly for
best results. Use the following specifications for glass beads:
550 kPa to 620 kPa (80.0 psi to 90.0 psi) air pressure
Note: Do not use glass beads that are larger than 0.23 mm (0.009 inch) to clean the spacer plate. Large glass
beads may damage the spacer plate.
After cleaning, check both sides of the plate for cracks and connecting depressions on the surface due to
corrosion, erosion, and handling damage in the following areas.
1. Check within 6.0 mm (0.24 inch) along the edge of the plate and the opening for the valve mechanism.
2. Check within 6.5 mm (0.26 inch) along the edge of the gasket. This area is the conjunction of the
gasket and the plate.
3. Inside and 6.0 mm (0.24 inch) around oil supply hole (5).
4. Check within 6.0 mm (0.24 inch) around small water ports and large water ports (2 and 3).
Do not use the spacer plate again if either type of damage is present in any of the four areas that are specified
in "Visual Inspection for Unacceptable Cracks and Depressions" section.
Note: Do not use a spacer plate again if the spacer plate has a greater amount of erosion on any of the four
areas that are mentioned in "Visual Inspection for Unacceptable Cracks and Depressions".
Areas that are outside of the areas that are mentioned in "Visual Inspection for Unacceptable Cracks and
Depressions" may have depressions on the surface with a maximum depth of 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) and 6.0 mm
(0.24 inch) in diameter. This applies to both sides of the plate.
Use the spacer plate again if the depressions (12) are the only damage that is present and the depressions are
less than 1.0 mm (0.04 inch) in depth. Take measurements after the raised areas are removed with a file.
Do not use the spacer plate again if the depressions (13) are present. No depressions are allowed within
6.0 mm (0.24 inch) along the edge of the spacer plate.
Do not use steel washers or excessive torque to hold down the spacer plate for the measurement of projection.
Instead, use brass and fibrous washers under bolt heads. Also use correct torques to prevent damage to spacer
plates.
NOTICE
All sprayed coatings are considered to be porous. Porosity is the measurement of the density of a coating
when compared to the same type of material in solid or cast from. Generally, the porosity of a coating will be
found to be beneficial for bearing type applications since the coatings will retain lubrication.
When a lubrication function is not desired or where the coating will be exposed to a corrosive type of
environment or where fluid leakage is not desired, the coating should be treated with a sealer. The preferred
sealer is Dichtol WFT 1532, but alternative sealers are: Loctite 290, Metco 185 Sealer, or a wick type air
drying sealer. These types of sealers are easy and simple to apply.
1. Ensure to wear the proper Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) when handling solvents.
2. Thoroughly clean all wire spray surfaces with a lint free towel and isopropyl alcohol, until all oils and
debris are removed and nothing more comes off onto a clean section of the towel.
3. Pour 177.6 mL (6.0 oz) of Dichtol WFT 1532 Sealer into a paint tray.
4. Using a 101.6 mm (4.0 inch) x 1/4" Microfiber NAP Roller, dip the roller in the sealer and roll it on the
pan. Do not use excessive pressure to apply sealer—an even, light pressure is all that is needed.
Continue to roll the until it has an even coat of sealer. Avoid redipping the roller into the sealer directly.
Oversaturating the roller may cause streaks of sealer to run when you roll it on.
Note: NAP rollers will produce the smoothest finish and are ideal metal surfaces.
6. Apply Dichtol to only two cylinders at a time in the correct sequence order dictated in Illustration 124.
Repeat the application until 1 minute has elapsed.
7. To remove any streaks or runs in the Dichtol, reapply Dichtol with roller and immediately wipe away
with clean lint free towel.
8. Use a clean lint free towel and remove all Dichtol, repeat the process on the adjacent two cylinders.
9. Once all surfaces have been sealed with Dichtol, wait a minimum of 4 hours to allow the Dichtol to
completely dry before any washing or assembly.
Listed below are the arc and flame spray procedures for providing a sufficient thermal spray coating on top
decks. Based on complexity and process variables, arc spray is the preferred technology for this process.
Arc spray is the only validated and approved process for spraying under top supported liner flanges. Flame
spray should only be used for deck height recovery with the use of inserts under the liner flanges.

Grit blast - If the entire mating surface is to be arc sprayed, some shops prefer
to pre-machine the surface. This process removes any major damage, allows
for a recommended minimum 0.25 mm (0.010 inch) coating, reduces technique
dependency in producing an even coating, and can reduce material cost and
finish machining time.
Surface Preparation
Method
Precautions and care must be taken to properly mask and remove all grit
from block surface and cavities.
Time between surface preparation and thermal spray application should
be minimal. Allowing excessive time between preparation and thermal
spray will result in unacceptable coating performance.

Storage Procedures
Proper protection of the cylinder block from corrosion is important. Corrosion will start in as little as one
hour after the cylinder block has been cleaned.
When the cylinder block will not be inspected for one hour or less the cylinder block should be coated with a
rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil. The cylinder block should be individually wrapped
to prevent contamination, and should be stored in a protected area to avoid damage. See Illustration 128.
When the cylinder block will not be inspected in two days or more the cylinder block should be coated with a
rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil and should be placed in a container which is clean
and structurally solid. The container should be covered or wrapped in plastic to prevent damage and
contamination to the cylinder block. See Illustration 129.
Refer to SEHS9031Special Instruction, "Storage Procedure for Caterpillar Products" for more information.
