PROBLEM
The existing remanufactured intake valves installed in certain Reman 3600 cylinder heads may have improper surface finish, which may lead to excessive bridge wear. If the affected valves cause excessive early bridge wear, the intake valves may drop.
ACTION REQUIRED
Please inspect all dealer stock of the following Reman part numbers: 10R-1835, 20R-6518, 10R-9360, 10R-1602, 10R-1496, 0R-7467, 10R-3484, 10R-4829, and 10R-3474.
Inspection procedure:
1) Check the packaging label date code on the Reman cylinder head. If the packaging label date code is dated on or after D08M06Y18 (8-June-2018), return the head to dealer stock without further action.
2) If the packaging label date code is dated earlier than 8-June-2018, remove the head from the box. Inspect the intake valves for part number (if the valve is remanufactured the part number will be hand-scribed, pin stamped, or both on the bottom of the valve head). If a hand-scribed Reman part number is present, remove this valve and replace with new. Reuse all rotocoils, keepers, springs, and seals. Replace all valves that have hand-scribed part numbers even if a pin stamp part number is also present. Refer to Image 1 for an example of both hand-scribed and pin stamped part numbers. Refer to Image 2 for a table of intake valves required for a given cylinder head part number.
If a valve without a hand-scribed Reman part number is present (or without a part number at all), return the head to the crate and ensure rust preventative is applied to any area it may have been removed from. Return the head to dealer stock.
