PUMP GP-TRANSMISSION 3529259 - Caterpillar

Remove Crankshaft
Start By:a. remove oil pumpb. remove timing gear coverc. remove flywheel housing
To prevent damage to the intake and exhaust valves, an adjustment must be made to the valve clearance setting. Loosen the nuts on each rocker arm and move the adjustment screw on each rocker arm away from the bridge as far as possible.
1. Put engine in position on tooling (A), and turn the engine over on its side. Make sure the blocks that are used as support for the top of the engine are against the cylinder head only and not against the exhaust manifold or valve cover bases. 2. Loosen the nuts that hold each connecting rod bearing caps (1) in position. Turn the crankshaft if necessary to loosen all the nuts. Make sure the nuts are still tight enough to hold the bearing caps in place when the crankshaft is turned. 3. Turn the crankshaft so that "V" crankshaft gear aligns with "V" mark (3) on the idler gear.4. Remove the bearing caps that hold the connecting rods in position against the crankshaft. 5. Remove bearings (4) from each bearing cap. Make sure that each bearing is kept with the bearing cap from which the bearing is removed from for correct installation purposes. 6. Remove crankshaft main bearing caps No. 2 through No. 6.7. Push the pistons as far away as possible from the crankshaft. 8. Remove bearing (6) from each crankshaft main bearing cap. Make sure that each bearing is kept with the crankshaft main bearing cap from which the bearing is removed from for correct installation purposes. 9. Remove two thrust plates (7) from the center main bearings. 10. Fasten tooling (B) and a hoist to the crankshaft as shown.11. Remove the No. 1 and No. 7 crankshaft main bearing caps.12. Use tooling (B) and a hoist to remove crankshaft (8) from the cylinder block. The weight of the crankshaft for a 3412 Engine is approximately 181 kg (400 lb). 13. Use tooling (C) to remove gear (9) from the crankshaft. Use tooling (D) to remove the dowel that is under the gear if a replacement is necessary. 14. Use tooling (E) to remove pin (10) from the crankshaft if a replacement is necessary. 15. Put identification on bearings (11) and (12) as to their location on the cylinder block or connecting rod. Remove bearings (11) and (12).Install Crankshaft
Do not put oil on the bearings until the bearing clearance has been checked.1. Install bearings (1) in the connecting rods they were removed from. Make sure the tab in each bearing is in alignment with the notch in each connecting rod.2. Install bearings (2) in the cylinder block. Make sure the tab in each bearing aligns with the notch in the cylinder block. 3. Install pin (3) in the end of the crankshaft. Install the pin so that the pin extends a maximum of 6.40 mm (.252 in) above the surface. 4. Install the dowel in the crankshaft that puts gear (4) in
