RING-PISTON-OIL 2622891 - Caterpillar

Introduction
For Specifications with illustrations, make reference to Specifications For 3176B Diesel Truck Engine, Form No. SENR5560. If the Specifications in Form No. SENR5560 are not the same as in the Systems Operation, Testing and Adjusting, look at the printing date on the back cover of each book. Use the Specifications given in the book with the latest date.Metric Fasteners
Take care to avoid mixing metric and inch fasteners. Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can result in mechanical damage or malfunction, or possible personal injury. Original fasteners removed during disassembly should be saved for assembly when possible. If new ones are required, caution must be taken to replace with one that is of same part number and grade.Metric thread fasteners are identified by material strength (grade) numbers on bolt heads and nuts. Numbers on bolts will be 8.8, 10.9, etc. Numbers on nuts will be 8, 10, etc.Engine Design

The engine is an electronically controlled mechanically actuated unit injector diesel engine. The engine is an inline 6 cylinder arrangement with a bore of 125.025 mm (4.9220 in) and a stroke of 140 mm (5.5 in) giving a total displacement of 10.3 liter (629 cu in). The engine as configured is for air to air aftercooling. It is a low profile arrangement with the exhaust and inlet manifolds on the right hand side.The electronic unit injector system eliminates many of the mechanical components of a "pump-in-line" system. It also provides increased control of timing and fuel/air ratio control. Timing advance is achieved by precise control of injector timing. Engine rpm is controlled by adjusting the injection duration. A special pulse wheel provides information to the electronic control module for detection of cylinder position and engine rpm.The engine has built-in diagnostics to insure that all components are operating properly. In the event of a system component failure, the operator will be alerted to the condition via the dashboard mounted "check engine" light. A Caterpillar service tool can be used to read the numerical code of the faulty component or condition, or the cruise control switches can be used to "flash" the code on the dash mounted "check engine" light. Intermittent faults are "logged" and stored in memory.Starting The Engine
The 3176B ECM will automatically provide the correct amount of fuel to start the engine. Do Not Hold The Throttle Down while cranking the engine. At temperatures below 0°C (32°F), it may be necessary to spray starting
