Nice thread Lee. It is cool to see some of the larger jobs. I work mainly on rental stuff but that means very little here lately. And I was 2/8 Cav Dec95 to Sep 98. Had bunch of buddies in 2/5 All Mortars.

Great info there. When you say you advance the timing by 0.5 to 1 mm to increase power how would that relate to degrees as in BTDC?

I don't know. All it is doing is preloading the rocker arm on the injector by 1mm so it is fired and at max travel just before max lift on the cam lobe. It works well. If you do too much (3-4mm) it will knock and smoke.

We also go to the high side of spec on the fuel setting and the torque screw on the governor can be turned in a little if they are lacking power for whatever application the machine is being used in.

With electronic engines there are not many tweaks. Excavators, we tweak the PRV and the max % torque limit on speed dial 10.

We may have crossed paths. I was there 97-01. Our barracks was opposite the sports dome and the motorpool was on the end.

Replacing a cracked head on a C9 in a D6R.


These are packed in there. Big parts removed show how cramped it is



Head is off and cleaning up the block



The head is 400 lbs and is mostly under the cab so a C frame is used to lift it.



Head is on. Found it easier to install without the manifold/turbo and i didnt want the injectors to get damaged so the head is bare.

These are a pain to work on, and for some reason it is always seems like it is the #5 or #6 injectors that goes bad on them........

 

[caterpillarmech]

At least it is not a T. I had to replace a injector line on one. All day job for a 12" line. Fun!!!!

Finished up the head on the D6R last week. Washed it off before installing the sheet metal.


I painted the head as i installed the components onto it. No need to leave bare parts so they rust.



Started back on the 572G, Put a rear main seal in before installing the torque.


Case was welded and then I had it washed out.
Installed both rebuilt clutches. Now my back is aching.

What happened to the case Lee? Are the white lines sorta like inspection marks after tightening?

Thanks for the cool pics!

 

[Lee-online]

Case was cracked where the frame is welded to it. I put the marks on so i could keep track of what had been torqued. As i installed and torqued the bolts on the inner and outer of the left and right sides i moved the track foreword to access all the bolts. With all the jumping back and forth there was too much chance of missing one.

A D6N showed up with no steering or hydraulics. A quick inspection found no hyd oil and an overfull trans. Didn't even need to cut open the filters, just shook them.


Slippers from the toasted pump came out of the filter.


938H getting a reman engine.


The old one goes back for the core.

That is where the bolts that hold the fender on go. They are welded on, drilled and threaded. That way there is no worry about leaking through the threads and there is more metal for the bolt to grip . Its always better to have blind holes in a case with oil.

thanks, i remember now its been a while since i have been into one of these....................theironoracle
