This guideline provides photos to help reduce the scrap rate of reworked cylinder heads and to increase profitability without decreasing quality. The photos in this guideline show cylinder heads that were damaged by broken injector tips.This new procedure for evaluating head damage from injector tip breakage only applies to C9 and C-9 engines at this time. When used in the same application, cylinder heads that meet the specifications in this guideline can be expected to give normal performance.Never install a cylinder head that this guideline shows cannot be used again. During reconditioning, correct any conditions that might have caused the original failure.References

All of the heads shown that in the photos have been milled to near minimum thickness to remove as much damage as possible. The damage that remains is inside the gasket sealing area. This area is shown by the black circle drawn on the head.Heads with damage in the fire ring seat area after machining should not be used again.Identification Stamp and Nomenclature
Cylinder heads that are reworked by the criteria in this guideline should be stamped with a dealer-selected stamp in area (1) shown in Illustration 3. This stamp will identify the cylinder heads as having injector tip damage and not casting porosity. Caterpillar Reman heads will be stamped with a 6 mm (0.24 in) upper case "M".
