New Intake and Exhaust Valves

New Intake and Exhaust Valves

Warranty Statement
The information in this document has no effect on present warranty coverage or repair practices, nor does it authorize TRP or Campaign
actions.

Contents
This document announces the release of new intake and exhaust valves for use on all QSK45, all QSK60 (including natural gas), and QSK19
engines (other than QSK19 MCRS). The new valves have a constant stem diameter to the end of the valve stem tip to improve robustness.

Due to the increased diameter of the valve stem tip, the new valves require new spring retainers, collets, and crossheads. The cylinder head
casting, valve guides, rotators, springs, and rocker levers remain unchanged. New part numbers have also been released for all cylinder head
assemblies affected by this change. Reference Table 1 below.
To assist in identifying the new parts, the new crosshead has a circle stamped on the side opposite to the part number and the new collets
have a copper color appearance. The new spring retainer has a larger inner profile. T Too identify the new from the old retainer, measure the
inner diameter at a distance of 2.3 mm [0.09 in] down from the top of the retainer. If an old retainer is used, the new collets will not sit flush to
the top of the retainer.
retainer. Refererence the illustrations below for new crosshead, collet, and spring retainer identification and measurement.

It is essential that all the valves are of the same design level on any one cylinder head, but it is acceptable to have cylinder heads of each
design level mounted on the same engine.

The new cylinder head assemblies went in to production for QSK45/60 engines on 27 October 2009, ESN first: 33179494; and for QSK19
engines on 5 November 2009, ESN first: 37241838.

: The new intake valves utilize a nitride hardening process known as Sursulf. Sursulf valves can not be ground. Grinding
will remove a significant portion of the hardened layer. Ground valves will be susceptible to 'beat in' wear and premature
malfunction. Sursulf valves have a darker appearance, when compared to the previous design valve.
