3304 AND 3306 ENGINES IN ALL APPLICATIONSProblem:
Some remanufactured water pumps for these engines may have been assembled with insufficient torque on the bolt (2) that fastens the impeller (1) to the shaft (3). As a result the impeller may come loose during operation. Prolonged operation can cause the bolt to act as a "forcing screw", pressing the shaft and bearing out of the water pump housing.Solution:
Check the Date Code on the shipping cartons for 0R-0796, 0R-0797, 0R-8348, 0R-8349, 0R-8350, 0R-8351, 0R-8352 and 0R-8354 Remanufactured Water Pump Groups. Use a torque wrench to check the torque on bolt (2) in the remanufactured water pump groups with Date Codes prior to 6 June 1997. To check the torque on bolt (2), secure the water pump drive gear to prevent the shaft (3) from turning. The correct torque for bolt (2) is 48 8 N m (35 6 lb ft). The Date Code is formatted as DDMMYYXXX. DD = the day of the month. MM = the month of the year. YY = the year. XXX = plant number. For example, the Date Code 180697068 indicates a water pump manufactured on 18 June, 1997, at plant number 068.Please share this information with your TEPS Dealers.
