Bearing Clearance - Check

SMCS - 1203-535; 1219-535

Measurement Procedure Table 1

Required Tools

198-9142

Plastic Gauge (Green) 0.025 to 0.076 mm (0.001 to 0.003 inch)

Plastic Gauge (Red)

to 0.152 mm (0.002 to 0.006 inch)

Plastic Gauge (Blue)

to 0.229 mm (0.004 to 0.009 inch)

Plastic Gauge (Yellow) 0.230 to 0.510 mm (0.009 to 0.020 inch)

Note: Plastic gauge may not be necessary when the engine is in the chassis.

NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

i05977048

Note: Cat does not recommend the checking of the actual bearing clearances particularly on small engines. This is because of the possibility of obtaining inaccurate results and the possibility of damaging the bearing or the journal surfaces. Each Cat engine bearing is quality checked for specific wall thickness.

Note: The measurements should be within specifications and the correct bearings should be used. If the crankshaft journals and the bores for the block and the rods were measured during disassembly, no further checks are necessary. However, if the technician still wants to measure the bearing clearances, Tooling (A) is an acceptable method. Tooling (A) is less accurate on journals with small diameters if clearances are less than 0.10 mm (0.004 inch).

NOTICE

Lead wire, shim stock or a dial bore gauge can damage the bearing surfaces.

The technician must be very careful to use Tooling (A) correctly. The following points must be remembered:

• Ensure that the backs of the bearings and the bores are clean and dry.

• Ensure that the bearing locking tabs are properly seated in the tab grooves.

• The crankshaft must be free of oil at the contact points of Tooling (A).

1. Put a piece of Tooling (A) on the crown of the bearing that is in the cap.

Note: Do not allow Tooling (A) to extend over the edge of the bearing.

2. Use the correct torque-turn specifications in order to install the bearing cap. Do not use an impact wrench. Be careful not to dislodge the bearing when the cap is installed.

Note: Do not turn the crankshaft when Tooling (A) is installed.

3. Carefully remove the cap, but do not remove Tooling (A). Measure the width of Tooling (A) while Tooling (A) is in the bearing cap or on the crankshaft journal. Refer to Illustration 1.

Illustration 1 g01152855

Typical Example

4. Remove all of Tooling (A) before you install the bearing cap.

Note: When Tooling (A) is used, the readings can sometimes be unclear. For example, all parts of Tooling (A) are not the same width. Measure the major width in order to ensure that the parts are within the specification range. Refer to Specifications Manual, "Connecting Rod Bearing Journal" and Specifications Manual, "Main Bearing Journal" for the correct clearances. Copyright 1993 - 2024 Caterpillar Inc.

Camshaft - Install

SMCS - 1210-012

Installation Procedure

Note: In this installation procedure, the engine needs to remain in the upside-down position in order to keep the lifters in position while the camshaft is installed.

NOTICE

Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

Note: During installation, ensure that the camshaft is clean and lubricate all of the components with clean engine oil.

1. Install the valve lifters. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Lifter Group - Remove and Install".

i01568556

Illustration 1 g00569371

Note: During installation, ensure that the marks on the timing gears are in alignment. Align fuel injection drive gear (A) with the "33" mark with the "3" mark on idler gear (B). Make an alignment of the "2" mark on camshaft gear (C) with the "22" mark on idler gear (B). Align the "1" mark on crankshaft gear (D) with the "11" mark on idler gear (B). The No. 1 cylinder is at the top center position when these marks are in alignment.

2. Carefully install the camshaft assembly into the original location in the cylinder block.

Note: Caution must be used when the camshaft is installed in order to not damage the camshaft lobe or the camshaft bearings.
