ROTARY JOINT 0969290 - Caterpillar

start by: a) remove oil pumpb) remove oil pan plate 1. Turn the crankshaft until two pistons are at bottom center. Remove the connecting rod caps (1) from these connecting rods. Remove the lower half of bearings from the caps.2. Push the connecting rods away from the crankshaft and remove upper half of bearings.3. At installation, clean the surfaces where the bearings fit and install upper half of new bearings in the rods. Put clean SAE 30 oil on the bearings and crankshaft journals. Put the connecting rods in position on the crankshaft.4. Clean the surfaces where the bearings fit and install lower half of new bearings in caps. Put clean SAE 30 oil on the bearings. 6. Check the bearing clearance with wire (A). Put the caps (1) in position on the connecting rods and install nuts on the bolts. Turn both nuts to a torque of 30 3 lb.ft. (40.7 4.1 N m). Put a mark on the nut and on the end of each bolt and turn both nuts 90° more.7. Remove the rod cap and measure thickness of wire. Rod bearing clearance with new bearings must be .0020 to .0076 in. (0.051 to 0.193 mm). Maximum permissible clearance with used bearings is .010 in. (0.25 mm).8. Put the caps in position on the connecting rods and install nuts on the bolts. Turn both nuts to a torque of 30 3 lb.ft. (40.7 4.1 N m). Put a mark on the nut and on the end of each bolt and turn both nuts 90° more.
When connecting rod cap is installed, be sure that the number on side of cap is near to and respective to the number on side of connecting rod.
9. Do Steps 1 through 6 again for other connecting rod bearings.end by: a) install oil pan plateb) install oil pump
