Note: The dimensions assume that the centerline of the crankshaft has not been raised.

Adjust the specifications accordingly if the machining has


already occurred.

Surface Texture
The machined surface must be smooth to form a good seal. The machined finish that is between the cylinder head and the block must meet
specifications.

Dimensions for Reconditioning


Note: When you are reconditioning the block, remove the minimum amount of material that is necessary to make the repair.

If a block is machined, the projection of the sleeve must be checked during assembly and also adjusted to the correct specifications.

When you are reconditioning an engine, both the block and head must be checked.

Marking the Reconditioned Block


Keep exact records on the amount of stock and the location of stock that was removed from the engine. Mark the block or stamp the block near the
changed surface, but not in any area of the gasket seal. For additional information on the marking of the parts, refer to Reuse and Salvage Guide,
SEBF8187 , "Standardized Parts Marking Procedures".

The markings could also have code letters for the dealer and/or the machine shop. Write all this information in the Service Report for the engine
history or the history of the vehicle. Write a report in the Service Information Management System (SIMS) to describe the machining that was
performed on the engine.

Repair Damage to the Block


There are several methods of casting repair that are available, dependent on the type of damage to the block. Carefully follow the recommended
Special Instructions for each method. Each method that is described below has a special application. Use only the method that is approved in the
application.

Cast Iron Welding


A new cold welding procedure has been developed by Caterpillar which permits the repair of Caterpillar castings. Special welding rods of high nickel
alloy are available through Caterpillar,and are required for a successful repair. Part numbers for the electrodes and instructions for welding non-
structural cracks, are given in Special Instruction, SEHS8919 , "Salvage Procedure for Cast Iron Cylinder Blocks".

Lock-N-Stitch
Using the Lock-N-Stitch repair kits that are available from Caterpillar will allow the repair of holes caused by a single failure of the rod or cracks in a
casting. These repairs should not be made in structural areas. The repair method that is utilized can achieve a permanent repair. Detailed instructions
and part numbers for the kit can be found in Special Instruction, SEBF8882 , "Using the Lock-N-Stitch Procedures for Casting Salvage".

Belzona® 1311 Ceramic R Metal


Belzona® is a mixed, composite material that l can be used to repair porosity or pitting of the block. Belzona® can only be used in the applications
that are outlined because of a lower material strength when compared with cast iron welding and Lock-n-stitch. Instructions for obtaining the material
and the application of material can be found in Special Instruction, SEHS8869 , "Cylinder Block Salvage Procedure for Using Belzona® 1311
Ceramic R Metal".

The block needs to be thoroughly cleaned after each of the above repair methods. Cylinder blocks that have been repaired with Belzona® products
cannot be placed in the strong caustic cleaners at an elevated temperature. Using strong caustic cleaners may soften the material of the repair.

Repairing Block Cylinder Head Deck with Thermal Spray


A thermal spray process can also be used to restore the contact surfaces to the original dimensions. Refer to the "Flame Spray and Arc Spray"
Section for information about thermal spray repair procedures.

General Specifications
Flatness of the Cylinder Head Deck
Illustration 4 g06337213
(1) Cylinder Block
Measure the flatness of the cylinder head deck. Use a straight edge and a feeler gauge to measure the flatness of the cylinder head deck. Measure
the surface in two positions crosswise and measure the surface in two positions lengthwise.

The total flatness of the top contact surface of the cylinder block must be within 0.10 mm (0.004 inch).

The flatness of the cylinder head deck must be held for the entire surface. There can be no more than 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) over any 150.00 mm
(6.000 inch) span.

Note: The 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) tolerance for flatness cannot be increased by increasing the 150.00 mm (6.000 inch) length.

Main Bearing Bores


Inspect the bore for the main bearings and the main bearing cap. Use a dial bore gauge to measure the bore. If necessary, the bore for the main
bearings can be machined to use oversized bearings.

(2) Bearing Cap
(3) Dial Bore Gauge

Inspect the alignment of the main bearing bores. Use a boring machine to check the alignment of the main bearing bores. If a boring machine is not
available, use a long machinists straight edge and a feeler gauge to check the alignment of the bearing bores. The following procedure describes the
use of a machinists straightedge and a feeler gauge to check the alignment:

Place a 0.038 mm (0.0015 inch) feeler gauge in the bore and then lay the straightedge across the feeler gauge and several of bearing bores. Do
not put pressure on the straightedge.

Check if the feeler gauge pulls out freely. If the feeler gauge pulls out freely, that bore is not in alignment.

Use this procedure to check the alignment of each main bearing bore.

Note: The long straight edge must be handled carefully to prevent nicks and burrs. Support the cylinder block evenly so the measurements are
accurate.

Check the size of the main bearing bores by using the 1P-3537 Dial Bore Gauge. Check Table 6 to make sure that the bore size for the main bearings
meets the specifications. This dimension is used after the crankshaft is removed and the bearing caps are assembled and tightened according to the
specifications in this service manual.

Refer to Illustrations 8, through 13 and Table 6 for identification of several locations and dimensions that are frequently referenced during the
reconditioning of a cylinder block.

Tightening Procedure for Main Bearing Cap Bolts


Install the bearing caps in the correct order of sequence. The bearing caps must be torqued from the front to the rear. Check the Identifying marks on
the caps and the block before tightening.

1. Lubricate the bolt threads and the washer faces with clean engine oil.

2. Tighten the bolts in accordance with the proper torque specifications. Refer to the appropriate specifications manual for the torque specifications.
