Attach.(Rework Procedure)Rework Procedure
1. Remove the necessary air piping, air cleaners, valve covers, Jake Brakes, and rocker arm assemblies.2. Before removing fuel injectors from engine, be sure to drain fuel from fuel system. The recommended procedure is to blow compressed air through system via the fuel filter air bleed cap. Remove the fuel injectors from the engine. Immediately clean off excess engine oil and place the fuel injectors in individual clean plastic bags. Use care to prevent dirt from entering the fuel passages in the side of the injector.3. Wrap each injector individually with padding. Be sure to provide adequate padding around the injectors to prevent damage to the electrical terminals and nozzle during shipment. Pack the injectors in a sturdy box for immediate shipment back to Caterpillar. (See PARTS DISPOSITION.)4. If the tip of the injector is cracked, inspect top of cylinder and injector bore for foreign material. If the tip is missing, inspect the cylinder head and turbocharger for foreign material. Also inspect the injector for a screen that may have fallen from the removed injector.5. Lubricate the two larger o-ring seals with engine oil and install the injectors. Tighten the injector hold down bolt to a torque of 55 N m (41 ft lb).6. Adjust the valves, injectors, and Jake Brakes if so equipped. Complete the assembly.7. Prime the fuel system as described in Systems Operation Testing and Adjusting, SENR5578, page 69, "Fuel Priming Procedure".8. Stamp the engine block with the letters "PS0852".
