Cylinder Head Installation on Caterpillar 3054C

Diesel Engines
The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information on cylinder head installation for
Caterpillar 3054C diesel engines. This information is somewhat unique to this engine series and differs
from previous 3054 series engines.

The torque sequence and procedures shown below should be followed after the cylinder head has
been resurfaced or deemed acceptable using the specification listed below.

Cylinder Head Installation

Before installation, lubricate the threads and the underside of the head bolts with clean engine oil.
There are seven longer (1, 3 & 4) and three shorter (2, and 5-10) bolts used.
1. Tighten all bolts in the sequence that is shown in Figure 2 to 37 FT/LBS (50 Nm)
2. Tighten all bolts again in sequence to 74 FT/LBS (100 Nm)
3. Tighten the seven short bolts (2 and 5-10) an additional 225° (5/8 of a turn)
4. Tighten the three long bolts(1, 3 & 4) for the additional 270° (3/4 of a turn)
