Work carefully around an engine that is running. Engine parts that are hot, or parts that are moving, can cause personal injury.
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting, and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids.Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Dealer Service Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Cat® products.Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group
Tool (A) measures the oil pressure in the system. This engine tool group can read the oil pressure inside the oil manifold.Note: Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS8907, "Using the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group" for more information. Refer to Operating Manual, NEHS0818, "Using the 198-4240 Pressure Indicator Tool Group" for more information.
Start the engine. Run the engine with the correct oil. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and Recommendations" for the recommendations of engine oil.Note: Engine oil pressure to the camshaft and main bearings should be checked on each side of the cylinder block at the oil gallery.
Record the values of the engine oil pressure when the engine is at operating temperature 100 °C (212 °F) at low idle.Note: The recorded oil pressure readings must be above the readings that are listed below.C9 - The engine oil pressure should be 48 kPa (7 psi)C13 - The engine oil pressure should be 53 kPa (8 psi)C15/18 - The engine oil pressure should be 107 kPa (15 psi).Record the values of the engine oil pressure when the engine is at operating temperature 100 °C (212 °F) at 1800 rpm.Note: The recorded oil pressure readings must be above the readings that are listed below.C9 - The engine oil pressure should be 152 kPa (22 psi)C13 - The engine oil pressure should be 242 kPa (35 psi)C15/18 - The engine oil pressure should be 278 kPa (40 psi)
Check the Engine Oil Pressure for the Left Oil Gallery at the Oil Pressure Sensor
Remove the oil pressure sensor.
Install a pipe "T" in the pressure sensor port.
Install Tool (A) on one side of the pipe "T". Install the oil pressure sensor
