Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8162, "Measure Procedures and Salvage Procedures for Cylinder Head Assemblies 
and Related Components" and perform the following steps: 

• Clean the cylinder head. 

• Remove the gaskets. 

• Check the thickness of the cylinder head. 

• Measure the flatness of the surface for combustion. 

• Check for cracks in the surface for combustion and the top deck. 

• Inspect the surface for combustion for damage and erosion. 

• Measure the depth of the valve seats. 

• Inspect the valve guides. 

• Inspect the cylinder head for other damage. 

• Inspect the threads. 

• Inspect the projection and the recession of the valve to the head. 

Specific Factors for Reconditioning


The compression ratio is the critical factor that needs to be considered when the cylinder block is reconditioned or the cylinder head 
is reconditioned. The compression ratio increases as the material is removed from the cylinder head. 

Note: The minimum dimension means that the valve is recessed into the cylinder head. The maximum dimension means that the 
valve is projecting from the cylinder head. 

Material can be removed from the cylinder head without reseating the valves if the thickness of the cylinder head is at least 
141.62 mm (5.576 in.). When the thickness of the cylinder head is less than the minimum thickness of the cylinder head, the valves 
must be reseated to achieve the proper valve recession. These dimensions are listed in Table 17. 

Cylinder Head Thickness

Measure the cylinder head thickness. Compare the dimensions to Table 5. Maintain the original specifications for flatness of the 
surface of the cylinder head during the process of reconditioning. 

Illustration 4 g01632454
(A) Minimum thickness of the cylinder head

Flatness of the Surface for Combustion

Maintain the original specifications for flatness of the cylinder head during the process of reconditioning the cylinder head. Refer to 
Table 5 for the recommended specification for flatness.

Note: The critical factors that need to be considered during the reconditioning of the cylinder block and the cylinder head on the 
3500 Series engines are the compression ratios and the clearance between the valve and the piston. The compression ratio increases 
when material is removed from the cylinder block.

Reusing Cylinder Head Bolts


3500 cylinder head bolts may be reused for a maximum of five standard rebuilds. The cylinder head bolts must be inspected for 
cracks and wear during each rebuild. For the inspection procedure, refer to Reuse And Salvage Guideline, SEBF8301, "Inspection 
and Reuse of Critical Fasteners Used in All Engines". 

Reworking Cylinder Head Bolt Holes


This procedure machines a radius around the edges of the surface for combustion of the three bolt holes for the cylinder head. 
Cracks can originate from these three holes as a result of high operating temperatures. Machining a radius around these holes can 
greatly reduce the potential for cracks. These cracks could lead to failure of the cylinder head. 

This procedure can only be used on heads that do not have cracks. If cracks are present, the cracks will appear on the combustion 
side of the head. The cracks will radiate outward from the bolt hole. If cracks are found anywhere in the cylinder head, the cylinder 
head must not be used again.

Rework Procedure

1. Put 4C-3845 Grinding Wheel in the chuck of the air drill or in the chuck of the electric drill. 

2. Operate the drill at full rated speed and lightly insert the mounted point into the bolt hole. 

3. Apply a steady pressure that is equal to two times the weight of the drill for one and one half to two seconds. This should 
create a 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) chamfer on the edge of the bolt hole. 

4. Ensure that the chamfered diameter is not larger than 23.25 mm (0.915 inch) (C). 

https://127.0.0.1:7443/sisweb/sisweb/techdoc/techdoc_print_page.jsp?returnurl=/sisweb/si... 1/22/2021
3512C Engine LLB00001-UP(SEBP4365 - 41) - Systems & Components Page 11 of 26

5. Repeat this procedure for each bolt hole.

Note: The bolt hole at the middle position may already have a chamfered diameter on some cylinder heads. This diameter
may be larger than 23.25 mm (0.915 inch) (C). Do not add an extra chamfer to this hole. Polish the hole with the
reconditioning tool that is described in the following procedure:

6. After all the holes have been reworked to have smooth corners put 4C-8629 Mandrel and 4C-8624 Mandrel in the drill.

7. Operate the drill in a clockwise direction at full rated speed. Insert the drill halfway into the bolt hole. Apply light pressure to
the chamfered edge of the hole. Steadily increase the pressure to flex the arms of the drill into the hole.

8. Insert the drill and remove the drill from each hole several times. Continue to perform this procedure until the edges of the
chamfers are removed, and a smooth radius and a polished radius is formed.

9. Clean the cylinder head thoroughly before putting the cylinder head back into service.

Valve Guides
The valve guides for the engine cylinder head must be measured for installed height from the top surface of the cylinder head and
from the inside bore diameter.

NOTICE

Do not use any valve guides with obvious damage. Do not use valve
guides with wear that is beyond the specifications that are provided.
Loose or damaged valve guides must be removed and new valve guides
must be installed. Correct any conditions that could have caused the
original damage or wear.

Install the valve guides with the 5P-1729 Valve Guide Bushing. The installed height of the valve guide for the cylinder head can be
measured by using 6V-2012 Depth Micrometer. A 152.0 mm (5.98 inch) dial caliper may also be used.

NOTICE

Do not force or turn the plug gauge into the valve guide bore. Forcing
will damage or wear the gauge. This will cause a higher replacement
rate.

The inside bore diameter of the valve guide can be measured by using one of the following:

• 6V-7068 Valve Guide Gauge

• A telescoping gauge

• A small gauge and an outside micrometer for a plug

All the valve guides should be measured on both ends 19.0 mm (0.75 inch) from the end of the bore. The measure must not be
taken in this area if the valve guide is counterbored. The bore for the valve guide is worn more than the maximum “Use again”
diameter if the plug gauge is used and the end of the gauge goes into the bore for the valve guide more than 19.0 mm (0.75 inch).

Reference: Refer to the appropriate specifications manual for the maximum inner diameter of the valve guide.

Precision Valve Guides

Precision machined valve guides and inserts for the valve seats are used in all 3500 engines. These parts will improve the
concentricity of the valve and concentricity of the valve seat in the cylinder head. These parts will improve the quality of cylinder
heads that are rebuilt in the field.

Valve guides with oversize outside diameters are available to replace the standard parts. These parts are 0.127 mm (0.0050 inch),
0.254 mm (0.0100 inch), 0.381 mm (0.0150 inch), and 0.508 mm (0.0200 inch) oversize outer diameter.

In the past, cylinder heads could be rebuilt so that the insert for the valve seat contacts the sealing face of the valve head at the
middle of the sealing face of the valve. Then, the 3500 engine was introduced. Currently, the traditional sealing area for the valve
moved to a location that was close to the edge of the valve. More recently, premachined inserts for the seat and precision valve
guides have moved the sealing area. This distance is now at 0.51 mm (0.020 inch) to 1.02 mm (0.040 inch) from the outside
diameter of the valve head. New, premachined valve seat inserts may be installed during the rebuild of a cylinder head. Do not
machine the sealing faces of the inserts or grind the sealing faces of the inserts. Modern manufacturing processes make machining
after installation unnecessary.

1. Freeze the insert to −60 °C (−76 °F).

2. Install the insert with a hammer and a drive plate. Make sure that the insert is fully seated in the counterbore.

3. After installation, use a 0.038 mm (0.0015 inch) feeler gauge to ensure that the insert is in contact with the bottom of the
counterbore for the cylinder head. If the gauge goes into a gap under the insert, reseat the insert.

Premachined Valve Seat Inserts

Premachined valve seat inserts are used on all gas and diesel 3500 engines except for the G3500A landfill applications. Do not
machine premachined valve seat inserts. These parts will improve the concentricity of the valve and valve seat in the cylinder head.
This will also improve the quality of cylinder heads that are rebuilt in the field.

NOTICE

The valve seat inserts are similar in size. Make sure that the correct
insert is placed in the appropriate counterbore. Damage can be caused
to the head and damage could be caused to the insert.

Recession of the Valve

After the cylinder head has been reconditioned, the cylinder head must be measured for the recession of the valves. The recession
of the valves is measured from the surface of the cylinder head that is exposed to combustion to the valve head. This measurement
is taken when the valve is closed.

Illustration 21 g01915933
Refer to Table 17 for measurements of the recessed valve.

A positive value for the recession of a valve represents a recessed valve as it relates to the cylinder head surface. The valve head is
below the surface.

Measurement for Recession

The recession of the valve can be measured by using any of the following:

1. 3P-1565 Collet Clamp, 8S-3158 Dial Indicator, and 5P-4156 Indicator Base.

Note: The above tools are part of the 5P-4165 Dial Indicator.

2. 6V-2012 Depth Micrometer

3. 8H-8581 Feeler Gauge and a 150.0 mm (6.0 inch) straight edge

The minimum and the maximum dimensions for intake and exhaust valves are listed in Table 17. The table lists the dimensions for
the following minimum permissible recession, maximum recession, and maximum recession for reusability. The maximum
recession for reusability applies when the cylinder head has been machined or the valve has been ground. For the minimum
recession for reusability, refer to the minimum permissible recession. A valve that projects too far can contact the piston during
normal engine operation. A valve that is recessed too much will not adjust. A valve that is recessed too much will create the
following conditions:

• Binding in the guide

• Abnormal wear

• Poor engine performance

NOTICE

The prefinished inserts should not be ground to correct the valve


projection. Excessive valve projection indicates that the insert is not
seated or the material was not cleaned from the bottom of the
counterbore.
