8T-0455 Liner Projection Tool Group (5) Bolt (6) Dial indicator (7) Gauge body (8) Gauge block
Loosen bolt (5) until dial indicator (6) can be moved. Place gauge body (7) and dial indicator (6) on the long side of gauge.
Slide dial indicator (6) into the correct position. When the point of the dial indicator contacts gauge block (8) , the dial indicator is in the correct position. Slide the dial indicator until the needle of the gauge makes a quarter of a revolution clockwise. The needle should be in a vertical position. Tighten bolt (5) and zero the dial indicator.

Measure the liner projection. (6) Dial indicator (7) Gauge body
Place gauge body (7) on the plate for the cylinder block. The indicator point should be on the liner flange. Read the dial indicator in order to find the amount of liner projection. Check the projection at four locations (every 90 degrees) around each cylinder liner.

If a liner does not meet the recommended cylinder liner projection specification, check the following parts:
The depth of the cylinder block bore should be 100.00 0.03 mm (3.937 0.001 inch).
The liner flange should be 100.12 0.03 mm (3.942 0.001 inch).If the dimensions for the liner flange do not match the specifications, replace the liner. Then repeat the liner projection measurements. If the dimensions for the depth of the cylinder block bore do not match the specifications, replace the cylinder block. Then repeat the liner projection measurements. C15 Through C18 Procedure

Note: Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF9390, "Visual Inspection of Liner Seats for 3400, C15, C16, and C18 Series Engines" for the correct cylinder top deck and spacer plate inspection procedures prior to measuring the liner projection.
Install a new spacer plate gasket and a clean spacer plate.
Install the washers. Install all bolts or the six bolts around the liner.Torque for bolts ... 95 N m (70 lb ft)
Use the 8T-0455 Liner Projection Tool Group to measure the liner projection at "A", "B", "C" and "D".
Record measurements for each cylinder.
Add the four readings for each cylinder. Divide the sum by four in order to find the average.
