download
Start By: A. Remove the valve mechanism cover. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, “Valve Mechanism Cover – Remove and Install”. NOTICE Keep all parts clean from contaminants. Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life. NOTICE Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers before opening any compartment or disassembling any component containing fluids. Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, “Caterpillar Tools and Shop Products Guide” for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain fluids on Caterpillar products. Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates. Removal Of The Injector 1. Remove oil drain plugs (1) at each end of the cylinder head. 2. Allow the engine oil to drain from the ports in the cylinder head before the injector is removed. 3. Disconnect harness connector (2) . Note: Some of these engines were built without the deflector. During the installation of the unit injectors, the deflectors (Y) should be installed. 4. Remove bolt (3) . 5. Remove bolt (4) . 6. Place Tooling (A) under clamp (5) on the flywheel side of the injector. 7. Tooling (A) should be placed at this location in order to gently remove the injector. Use Tooling (A) to remove the injector. 8. Do not pry at location (Z) . 9. Remove the O-Ring seals (6) from the injector. 10. Repeat Step 3 through Step 9 for the remainder of the injectors. Cleanliness is very important in the area around the sleeve and the sleeve bore when you are reinstalling the injector. This injector has a metal seal (7) between the bottom of the injector’s case and a seat in the cylinder head. Clean the carbon from the seat area that is inside of the cylinder head. Also clean the carbon from the end of the injector if the injector should be reinstalled. The fine grade of the Scotch Brite material is preferred. Scotch Brite is available from the Tools And Shop Products Guide as the abrasive material and as the surface reconditioning pad. If the sleeve of the injector has been removed from the engine, use a reamer to remove carbon deposits from the angled surface. Note: Do not use the reamer in order to remove metal from the sleeve. Use the reamer in order to remove carbon only.
