MOTOR & MTG GP-TRAVEL 1609062 - Caterpillar

Piston Rings
The top two rings are the KEYSTONE rings, which are tapered. A special 1U-6431 Piston Ring Groove Gauge Gp is available to check the top two ring grooves in the piston. Refer to Guideline For Reusable Parts, "Pistons And Cylinder Liners".

Instructions for 1U-6431 Piston Ring Groove Gauge Gp Connecting Rods and Pistons
Use the 7M-3978 Piston Ring Expander Gp to remove piston rings or install piston rings.Use the 5P-3526 Piston Ring Compressor to install pistons into the cylinder block.Tighten the connecting rod nuts in the step sequence that follows:
Apply 4C-5593 Anti-Seize Compound to the threads of the bolts and the contact surfaces of the bolt head.
Tighten all nuts to the following torque.Torque for nuts ... 82 8 N m (60 6 lb ft)
Put an alignment mark on each cap and bolt.
Tighten the nuts from the mark to the following value.Angle from the mark. ... 120 5 degreesConnecting Rod Bearings
The connecting rod bearings fit tightly in the bore in the rod. If the bearing joints are fretted, check the bore size. This can be an indication of wear because of a loose fit.Connecting rod bearings are available with 0.63 mm (0.025 inch) and 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) smaller inside diameter than the original size bearing. These bearings are for crankshafts that have been ground.Main Bearings
Main bearings are available with a larger outside diameter than the original size bearings. These bearings are used for the cylinder blocks with the main bearing bore that is made larger than the bores' original size. The size that is available has a 0.63 mm (0.025 inch) outside diameter that is larger than the original size bearings. These bearings are available with a standard inside diameter. The bearings are also available with a 0.63 mm (0.025 inch) inside diameter for crankshafts that have been ground.Main bearings are available with a smaller inside diameter than the original size bearings. These bearings are used for the cylinder blocks with a crankshaft that is made smaller than the crankshaft's original size. The size that is available has a 0.63 mm (0.025) and 1.27 mm (0.050 inch) inside diameter that is smaller than the original size bearings. These main bearings are for crankshafts that have been ground.Cylinder Block
If the main bearing caps are installed without bearings, the bore in the block for the main bearings can be checked. Tighten the nuts that hold the caps to the torque that is shown in the Specifications, "Cylinder Block". Alignment error in the bores must not be more than 0.08 mm (.003 inch). Refer to Special Instruction, SMHS7606 for instructions on the use of 1P-4000 Line Boring Tool Group .The 1P-3537 Dial Bore Gauge Group can be used to check the size of the bores. The Special Instruction, GMGO0981 is with the group.
