October 2004 COSMETIC CHANGE TO REMAN CYLINDER HEADS
All 3500 Diesel Engines Cylinder Heads
Announcement
Caterpillar Remanufacturing Services have recently improved the inspection process on 3500 diesel cylinder heads. The injector bore in the cylinder head experiences some degree of wear during its useful life. After extensive testing and the addition of new procedures, it was determined that some amount of wear is acceptable for reuse. (See Figures A, B, and C).
Effective immediately, the wear may no longer be machined out and may be visible due to this process change. In some instances, machining will still take place when deemed necessary. This change will not affect the reliability or durability of the Reman cylinder head. All remanufactured cylinder heads still meet the rigorous factory specifications and provide same-as-new performance.
