Sound Suppression
If the original engine has sound suppression material on the valve covers, oil pan and/or cylinder block, it is sometimes necessary, by law, to install sound suppression material on a replacement engine.It may be necessary to clean the valve covers of the old engine and exchange them with the valve covers on the Remanufactured engine.Sound suppression that is on the old cylinder block and the oil pan can possibly be removed and installed on the Remanufactured engine.Air Compressor
Since the air compressor uses engine oil for lubrication, be sure it is clean inside. Foreign material from a failure of the former engine can decrease engine life.A worn air compressor can also be the source of "oil consumption", by pumping oil into either the engine air intake or the vehicle air tanks.Air Cleaner
Install a new filter element in the air cleaner. Check all piping and connections for leaks and make corrections as necessary. Install all hoses and clamps as necessary.Radiator
Make sure the radiator is clean, both inside and out. Install new hoses and clamps. Check for leaks. If the engine is equipped with a viscous fan clutch, check fan speed to be sure of correct operation.Exchange those connections, such as inlet and/or outlet elbows, that are needed to connect the new engine to the vehicle cooling system.Oil Pan
Compare the oil pan configuration on the Remanufactured engine with that of the original engine. If they are different, it will be necessary to exchange the oil pan on the Remanufactured engine so it will match the mounting location of the original engine.When the oil pan is exchanged, it will also be necessary to change the location of the oil pump suction bell so it will fit the oil pan sump location. Always make sure the engine has the correct weight and type of lubrication oil in the oil pan before engine startup.The oil level gauge and guide may also need to be changed and/or recalibrated for a particular application. In some applications when the oil level gauge and guide are exchanged, it may not be necessary to change the guide assembly.If it is necessary to change the location of the gauge and guide or guide assembly, be sure to plug the open hole that remains.Fuel System
Check the horsepower (kW) and rpm setting given on the engine information plate of the recommended Remanufactured engine. Compare this information with the same settings of the original engine. If the settings are different, it is possible that some fuel system adjustment will be necessary.Use the reference numbers given to obtain the necessary information about governor springs, torque control groups, etc., from the Parts Book, Service Manual, the Fuel Setting Information Library and/or the Fuel Setting and Related Information microfiche, Form SBFY1113.It may be necessary to change some of these parts, or the settings, for a specific engine application.It may also be necessary to exchange the fuel filter mounting group from one engine to the other. If this is done, be sure to install a new
