KIT-GASKET 6V6418 - Caterpillar

Engine: G3606 (S/N: 3XF1-113) G3608 (S/N: 4WF1-67)Introduction
This Special Instruction describes the installation of the Caterpillar Ignition System (CIS) on G3606 and G3608 Engines. The CIS replaces mechanical parts that are prone to wear. The CIS improves the ignition system's precision and reliability. The CIS also provides self-diagnostics and diagnostics for the ignition system.The CIS was designed to operate with the Caterpillar Timing Control Module (TCM) in the Engine Supervisory System. The function of the TCM remains unchanged. No reprogramming is required.For information on the operation of the CIS, refer to Systems Operation/Testing and Adjusting, RENR2254, "Ignition System".A brief overview provides a summary of the installation procedure. Photographs in the overview help identify the major components.Line drawings that include more detailed identification of the parts are used to describe the actual installation procedure.Do not perform any procedure in this Special Instruction until you read this information and you understand this information.Reference: The following reference materials may be necessary for this procedure:

(1) Magneto (2) Magneto interface box (3) Ignition harnessMagneto (1), magneto interface box (2), and the related wiring harnesses are removed. The original ignition harness (3) is removed.Note: The oil mister pump is not necessary on G3600 Engines. For more information, refer to Engine News April, "Oil Mister Pump and Lines Group No Longer Used".
