Overhaul (Top End)


SMCS - 7595-020-TE

Refer to this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Overhaul Considerations" in order to determine
the maintenance interval for a top end overhaul.

A top end overhaul involves the removal, the inspection, and the rework of the cylinder head
components. Some additional components are replaced and serviced.

Your Caterpillar dealer can provide these services and components. Your Caterpillar dealer can
ensure that the components are operating within the appropriate specifications.

Note: The driven equipment may also require service when the engine is overhauled. Refer to the
literature that is provided by the OEM of the driven equipment.

If you elect to perform an overhaul without the services of a Caterpillar dealer, be aware of the
following recommendations.

Cylinder Head Assembly


Inspect the cylinder head assembly according to the instructions that are in Caterpillar reusability
publications. Refer to Guidelines for Reusable Parts and Salvage Operations, SEBF8029, "Index of
Publications on Reusability or Salvage of Used Parts".

Your Caterpillar dealer can provide these services and components. Your Caterpillar dealer can
ensure that the components are operating within the appropriate specifications.

The use of out-of-spec parts will cause unscheduled downtime and/or costly repairs.

Unit Injectors
Replace the unit injectors. Consult your Caterpillar dealer about exchanging the unit injectors. Your
Caterpillar dealer can provide these services and components.

The wear of unit injectors is affected by the following considerations:

l Quality of the fuel

l Quality of the filtration of the fuel

The wear of the unit injectors can result in elevated levels of exhaust emissions and/or poor engine
performance. The misfire of a single cylinder is not typically attributed to normal wear. This
condition can be repaired by replacing the faulty unit injector.

The following list of circumstances indicate that the unit injectors should be inspected more
frequently:

l Use of fuels that are not recommended in this Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Fuel
Specifications"

l Extreme ambient temperatures that reduce the ability of the fuel to provide lubrication

l Frequent plugging of the fuel filters

l Insufficient maintenance of the fuel tank or the fuel storage tank that can allow excessive
water, sediment, etc.

l Insufficient maintenance of the fuel filters

Oil Suction Screen


Clean the oil suction screen after the oil has been drained.

Note: Approximately 1 L (1 qt) of oil will remain in the housing after the sump has been
completely drained. This oil will pour out of the housing when cover (1) is removed. Prepare
to catch the oil in a pan. Clean up any spilled oil with absorbent towels or pillows. DO NOT
use absorbent particles to clean up the oil.

1. Remove the screen assembly according to the instructions in the Service Manual,
"Disassembly and Assembly" module. Discard the used O-ring seals.

2. Wash the screen assembly in clean nonflammable solvent. Allow the screen assembly to dry
before installation.

3. Remove side covers in order to gain access to the sump. Clean the bottom of the sump with
absorbent towels or pillows. When the bottom of the sump is clean, install the side covers.

4. Inspect the screen assembly for good condition. Obtain a new screen assembly, if necessary.
Install the screen assembly. Install new O-ring seals.

Replacement of Components
Replace the following components during the top end overhaul:

l Electronic unit injectors
