Nomenclature
A piston with a graphite coating is normally 0.020 mm (0.0008 in) thick, dull in appearance, and dark gray. The tops of some one-piece pistons have a hard anodized
layer. This layer protects the top of the aluminum piston from the heat of combustion in high output engines. If the anodized layer is removed, the layer cannot be
replaced. The anodized layer is not present on pistons that were manufactured after 1996. The crowns on two-piece pistons do not have the anodized layer. The oil
passage, which is used for cooling, runs along the circumference of the crown. The location of the oil passage can be found by locating the holes in the bottom of the
piston. The slot for lubricating the piston pin in each piston pin bore is also an oil passage.
Note: During cleaning of the piston with glass beads, close all oil passages to keep out debris.

Graphite Coating
Many of the new one-piece pistons have two important characteristics. The characteristics are graphite coating on the skirt and an oil passage inside the crown. Refer
to Illustration 4. The graphite coating is not present on pistons that were manufactured after 1996.
Illustration 4 g01947686
(7) Bore surface of piston pin
(13) Graphite coating
(14) Passage for oil cooling of crown
(15) Vertical oil passage
The graphite coating on the skirt helps to prevent scuffing and seizure at a cold start. A piston with a graphite coating is normally about 0.020 mm (0.0008 in) thick,
dull in appearance, and dark gray. The graphite coating will eventually wear off the surface of the piston. Wear occurs at the location of contact of the piston and
liner. The wear of graphite coating is normal. During cleaning, do not remove more graphite coating. The coating can be worn on any portion of the piston. The
piston skirt must be smooth with no deep scratches or the buildup of material.
Anodized Layers
The tops of some one-piece pistons have a hard anodized layer. This layer protects the top of the aluminum piston from the heat of combustion in high output
engines. If the anodized layer is removed, the layer cannot be replaced. The anodized layer is not present on pistons that were manufactured after 1996. The crowns
on two-piece pistons do not have the anodized layer.
Oil Passages
The oil passage, which is used for cooling, runs along the circumference of the crown. The holes for the oil passage can be found in the bottom of the piston. The
holes can also be found in the slot for lubricating the piston pin in each piston pin bore.
A steel crown can be bolted to an aluminum skirt. This style is regarded as a one-piece piston assembly because the assembly should not be separated into two
pieces. Do not separate the crown from the skirt.

NOTICE
Never disassemble the crown from the skirt. The pistons are assembled
at the factory using special procedures and the crowns are matched
with the skirts. This procedure cannot be duplicated in the field.
Special procedures and tooling are required to tighten the bolts holding
the crown to the skirt. Do not attempt to check or retighten the bolts.

Before removing the piston pin and the piston, make sure to mark the piston, the pin, and the connecting rod with the corresponding rod number if the piston is being
used again. The markings should be made so that the piston and the piston pin can be assembled exactly as taken apart. Mark the piston and the piston pin as shown
in Illustration 8. When the piston and the piston pin are installed, the markings should line up again as before disassembly.
Cleaning Procedure
Solvent
Clean any engine piston that is made by Caterpillar with high quality, biodegradable solvents. Remove all carbon deposits with a solvent that does not affect the
aluminum in the pistons.
Glass Beads
Use this method only when the preferred method is ineffective. Cleaning the piston with glass beads requires certain precautions. Glass beads can alter the
dimensions of the piston. The beads can hide cracks during visual inspection also.
Never clean the piston with glass beads which are larger than 230 microns (0.009 in). Glass beads of size 10 are 88 microns (0.0035 in) to 149 microns (0.0095 in)
and air pressure of 550 kPa (79.7720 psi) to 620 kPa (89.9248 psi) are used to achieve the desired results. Glass beads of size 9 are 125 microns (0.0049 in) to
177 microns (0.0070 in) and beads of size 11 are 75 microns (0.0029 in) to 125 microns (0.0049 in). Sizes 9 through 11 are also acceptable. Change the glass beads
and check the nozzle regularly for best results.
4. The method of using glass beads can push a small amount of material from the ring band into the ring groove. This material can be felt with a fingernail. If the
material is not removed, the ring will not move freely in the groove. Remove this material carefully with a triangular file or a flat file. Do not put a chamfer on
either side of the ring groove.
5. Glass beads that are larger than the recommended size or driven under excessive air pressure can smear material over cracks. The smeared material can cover
cracks that cause visual inspections for cracks to be difficult.

The crowns may be cleaned with glass beads. However, several areas of the piston must be protected from the glass beads. Refer to Illustration 9.
Note: After the piston is cleaned, check the oil passages. Make sure that all passages and other areas are free of debris or glass beads. Foreign material on the piston
can be washed into the lubrication system and can damage other engine components.

Put the piston into this solution with enough time to loosen carbon and oil deposits. Remove the piston when the piston is clean. To clean the skirt faster, heat the
solution to a temperature near 55 °C (131 °F).
Note: If more than 50% of the graphite coating is missing from the skirt, the piston is not reusable.
Never use glass beads to clean the skirt (Illustration 10) or the oil ring groove. Use a small brush to brush the oil ring groove with previously used soap and water.
Illustration 10 g01275369
Damage of the skirt below the oil ring groove may be caused by glass beads.
Protect any graphite coating. Place a protective cover over the skirt and the oil ring groove. Illustrations 11,12,13, and 14 show the areas that need protection from
glass beads. (Glass beads must not get into the oil passages.)

Illustration 18 g01275800
After cleaning the piston with glass beads, use air pressure to remove debris that entered the oil passages of the piston. Refer to Illustration 18. Wash the piston again
with the solution for cleaning. Apply a rust preventive to the iron ring band to prevent rusting.
Some one-piece pistons have a hard, anodized layer on top of the pistons. This layer protects the top of the aluminum piston from the heat of combustion. The layer
will last as long as the life of the piston during normal operating conditions. If the layer is removed, the layer cannot be replaced. On one-piece pistons, the glass
beads cannot be used to clean the top of the piston or the skirt. Cover the top of the piston when glass beads are used to clean the ring grooves. Refer to Illustration
19.
Illustration 19 g01275802
Protect the skirt and top of piston from glass beads.
Due to structural improvements to the oil gallery and the piston crown, the anodized layer is no longer necessary. The piston has a coating which is a mixture of
phosphate and graphite. This mixture has been shown to be ineffective by data from the field and laboratory.
The new piston without the anodized layer and phosphate and graphite coating can be interchanged with the earlier made piston that contains these two features. The
pistons with the coating and the pistons without the coating can be distinguished only by a difference in color. Refer to Illustration 20 and Illustration 21. The
difference in color has no effect on the ability to use the pistons.
Pistons without the anodized layer can be cleaned without the cap that is required for the anodized piston. Follow all these guidelines for cleaning the pistons without
the anodized layer. Anodized Pistons must follow the same guidelines for protection of the anodized layer and coating of a mixture of phosphate and graphite.

To clean the tops of pistons with an anodized layer, use a solution of hot water and soap in the same way as cleaning the skirts. The solution of 174-6885 Cat Citra
Soap and water may be used to clean the piston crown. The same solution was used to clean the skirt.
Protect the anodized layer of the piston with a plastic cap when you clean the piston with glass beads. The size of the cap is determined by the diameter of the piston
and the depth of protection needed.
Refer to Catalog, GECJ0001-01-2, "Cat Shop Supplies and Hand Tools" for a list of caps and plugs. Additional caps and plugs may be found by contacting Caplugs:

Reference: Refer to the section "Specifications of Pistons" at the end of this document.
Tape the oil passages or plug the oil passages when you use glass beads. These passages are used to feed the crown and the oil ring on the bottom. The oil passages
are located at the following places:
The hole on the bottom of the piston skirt that feeds the piston pin
The four cross-drilled holes from the bottom ring groove to the inside diameter of the piston
The hole in the center of the bottom side of the piston crown
The spot for lubrication for the piston pin in one bore for the piston pin
Pistons that were produced earlier may have four slots for lubrication in the pin bore.
Protect the graphite coating on the skirt and the oil ring grooves (bottom grooves) when you clean the skirt with glass beads. There will be a small open joint
approximately 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) at the separation line of the crown and the skirt. Permit the protective cover to slightly overlap the joint of the crown and skirt.
The cover prevents the opening from being clogged with glass beads.
Several methods can be used to protect the graphite coating on the bottom of the aluminum skirt.
Tape
Rubber tubing
Use an old liner or an old cylinder which is the same size as the piston to protect the graphite coating. Expose only the top two ring grooves above the surface of the
joint. Use a stop to hold the piston in the proper position.
The aluminum surface of the skirt with graphite coating can be cleaned with water and a solution of liquid detergent which contains little chlorine content. 174-6885
Cleaner is a good detergent to use. Refer to Catalog, GECJ0001-01-2, "Cat Shop Supplies and Hand Tools".
Submerge the piston in the solution for one to 2 hours to loosen carbon and oil deposits. Remember that leaving the piston in the solution for too much time may
damage the graphite coating. When the piston is clean, remove the piston from the solution. To clean the skirt faster, heat the solution of water and detergent to 55 °C
(131 °F). Flush the oil passages with a pressure washer.

4/2/2018 Media Search - SEBF8059 - Inspection Procedures and Specifications for Pistons {1214, 1214}
NOTICE
Never use glass beads to clean the graphite-coated skirt and the bottom
two piston ring grooves. Clean the bottom two ring grooves in the
aluminum skirt with a small brush that has nylon bristles and the same
solution of soap and water.
Reference: Refer to the section "Specifications of Pistons" at the end of this document.
The steel crown can be cleaned with a chemical solution or glass beads. Clean the oil passages with 1U-5490 Cleaner and a high-pressure washer to remove
contaminants. Refer to Catalog, GECJ0001-01-2, "Cat Shop Supplies and Hand Tools".
Using glass beads for cleaning requires protection of the graphite coating, the surface of the bore of the piston pin and the slot for lubrication in the bore of the piston
pin from damage. Tape all surfaces and oil passages to prevent damage to the piston or prevent beads from entering the passages.
Reference: Refer to the section "Specifications of Pistons" at the end of this document.
Two-Piece Pistons
The two-piece piston crowns may be cleaned with glass beads. However, several areas of the piston must be protected from the glass beads. Refer to Illustration 22.
Illustration 22 g01275823
Areas which need protection from glass beads on two-piece pistons
(7) Bore surface of piston pin
(21) Sharp edge of crater

After cleaning the piston with glass beads, use air pressure to remove debris that entered the oil passages of the piston. Wash the piston again after cleaning with
glass beads. Apply the rust preventive to the crown of the two-piece piston.
Reference: Refer to the section "Specifications of Pistons" at the end of this document.
The ring groove gauge can be used on all pistons to inspect the grooves for the keystone ring. This gauge is recommended over former methods of checking ring
groove wear because of increased tool accuracy. This gauge works on both one and two-piece pistons. Refer to Table 2 for the correct gauge part number.
Illustration 23 g01275836
Gauge is aligned with the center of the piston and the gauge has no side play.

Inspect the Pin and the Bore for the Piston Pin
Some one-piece pistons have circular pin bores. Other one-piece pistons have oval pin bores. This wear pattern is formed by a side relief on both ends of the
horizontal diameter. Refer to Illustration 26. The vertical diameter must be within specifications in Table 2 but the horizontal diameter must only be larger than the
vertical diameter.
Illustration 26 g01276021
Pistons with a side relief should be measured at location 32 only.
(11) Side relief for piston
(33) Dimension 33 will be larger than dimension 32 by 0.030 mm (0.0012 inch) to 0.045 mm (0.0018 inch).
Note: The pin bore diameter of newer one-piece pistons are elliptical. Be sure that dimension (33) is larger than dimension (32).

Inspect Bushings of Crown for Two-Piece Pistons and for One-Piece Steel Pistons
Inspect the bushing of two-piece piston crowns for rotation. If the bushing has damage from debris or if there is rotation of the bushing, the crown cannot be reused.
See Illustration 28 as an example for rotation of the bushing.

Illustration 33 g01276076
Bands that are incorrectly bonded will give a similar reading to the one above.
Visual inspection of the bond of the iron band requires looking for a gap or space between the edge of the iron band and the piston body.
NOTICE
When the iron band bond is only visually inspected, there is a very high
risk of reusing a piston with a loose iron band. This may result in a
major failure.
The engine must have operated with the original piston less than 8,000 hours.
Reuse the piston ring with the same liner or a new liner.
