SEAL-O-RING 2D8364 - Caterpillar

3304 And 3306 Industrial Engines Used in Generator Set ApplicationsSUPPLEMENT: 01/20/82ENGINE NEWS, OCTOBER 21, 1981, PAGE 1.In the article, "Engine Slobbering; New Piston And Rings Used", the part number of the oil ring for the 9N5251 Piston Group in Chart A is not correct. The correct part is 9S7788 Ring (Oil). A note of this can be made in the last footnote (**) under Chart A.
--------------- END SUPPLEMENT ---------------Description of Change: New pistons and rings are used in the piston and rod group for the above engines. The new rings give better control of engine slobbering if the engines are used in no load or low load applications. Engine slobbering can also be caused by worn or damaged turbocharger seals or valve guides. Formerly, pistons and rings with a Keystone design were used. The new pistons and rings have a rectangular design and will decrease the possibility of engine slobbering.
Adaptable To: The new parts are a direct replacement for the former parts as shown in Chart A. The new group is adaptable to the generator set engines with the arrangement numbers shown in Chart B. If engine slobbering is a problem on your engine, use the procedure which follows to correct the problem.
1. Check the turbocharger seals for wear or damage. Make replacements if necessary.2. Check the valve guide clearance. See the Specification Section of the Service Manual for the correct specifications.3. Install a 6N7174 Shield on each rotocoil assembly in the cylinder head.4. If engine slobbering is still a problem, make a replacement of the former piston groups with the new piston groups.
