CYLINDER & LINES GP-STICK 5177283 - Caterpillar

Start By:
Remove the electronic unit injectors. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Electronic Unit Injector - Remove".
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Note: Place the piston at the top of the Compression Stroke (TC). Remove the valve springs for that cylinder. If the valves fall into the cylinder liner, then the cylinder head must be removed.
Place the piston at the top of the Compression Stroke (TC) of the cylinder.

Improper assembly of parts that are spring loaded can cause bodily injury.To prevent possible injury, follow the established assembly procedure and wear protective equipment.
Ensure that washer (6) is installed on the valve guide.
Install valve spring (5) on valve (2) .
Install valve rotator (4) on valve (2) .
Secure Tooling (A) with unit injector clamp (1). Use Tooling (A) to compress the valve springs. Install valve spring retainers (3) on each valve (2) .
The valve spring keepers can be thrown from the valve when the valve spring compressor is released. Ensure that the valve spring keepers are properly installed on the valve stem. To help prevent personal injury, keep away from the front of the valve spring keepers and valve springs during the installation of the valves.
Carefully remove Tooling (A). Strike the top of the valve with a soft faced hammer in order to ensure that valve spring retainers (3) are properly installed.End By: Install the electronic unit injectors. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Electronic Unit Injector - Install".
