AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
REMOVAL
Testing Air Cleaner Element using Filter Minder™
Do not attempt to unnecessarily remove top of air
cleaner housing for air cleaner element inspection
on diesel engines.
The air cleaner (filter) housing (5) is equipped with an
air Filter Minder™ gauge (3). This air flow restriction
gauge will determine when air cleaner element is
restricted and should be replaced.
The Filter Minder™ (5) consists of a diaphragm and
calibrated spring sealed inside of a plastic housing. A
yellow colored disc (2) attached to diaphragm moves
along a graduated scale on side of Filter Minder. After
the engine has been shut off, a ratcheting device
located within Filter Minder will hold yellow disc at
highest restriction that air cleaner element has experi-
enced. A drop in air pressure due to an air cleaner
element restriction moves diaphragm and yellow disc
will indicate size of air drop.
CAUTION: Certain engine degreasers or cleaners
may discolor or damage plastic housing of Filter
Minder. Cover and tape Filter Minder if any engine
degreasers or cleaners are to be used.
To test, turn engine off. If yellow disc (2) has reached
red colored zone (3) on graduated scale, air cleaner
element should be replaced. Refer to Removal /
Installation.
Resetting Filter Minder:After air cleaner (filter) ele-
ment has been replaced, press rubber button on top of Filter Minder. This will allow yellow colored disc to reset.
After button has been pressed, yellow disc should spring back to UP position.
If Filter Minder gauge has reached red colored zone, and after an examination of air cleaner (filter) element, ele-
ment appears to be clean, high reading may be due to a temporary condition such as snow build-up at air intake.
Temporary high restrictions may also occur if air cleaner (filter) element has gotten wet such as during a heavy rain
or snow. If this occurs, allow element to dry out during normal engine operation. Reset rubber button on top of Filter
Minder and retest after element has dried.

CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder head is constructed of cast iron and is a one piece cross flow design with four valves per cylinder. The
arrangement of two intake and two exhaust valves per cylinder allows for a centrally located injector. The cylinder
head also includes an integral intake manifold, an integral thermostat housing, and a longitudal fuel return rifle,
which exits at the rear of the head. The 24 valve design also includes integrally cast valve guides and hardened
intake and exhaust valve seat inserts.

CLEANING
CLEANING
CAUTION: Do not wire brush head surface while fuel injectors are still installed. Fuel injector damage can
result.
Remove fuel injectors before cleaning (if not already removed during cylinder head removal).
Clean the carbon from the injector nozzle seat with a nylon or brass brush.
Scrape the gasket residuefrom all gasket surfaces.
Wash the cylinder head in hot soapy water solution (88°C or 140°F).
After rinsing, use compressed air to dry the cylinder head.
Polish the gasket surface with 400 grit paper. Use an orbital sander or sanding block to maintain a flat surface.
CLEANING—CROSSHEADS
Clean all crossheads in a suitable solvent. If necessary, use a wire brush or wheel to remove stubborn deposits.
Rinse in hot water and blow dry with compressed air.
CLEANING—PUSHRODS
Clean the pushrods in a suitable solvent. Rinse in hot water and blow dry with compressed air. If necessary, use a
wire brush or wheel to remove stubborn deposits.

INSPECTION
INSPECTION
Inspect the cylinder head for cracks in the combustion
surface. Pressure test any cylinder head that is visibly
cracked. A cylinder head that is cracked between the
injector bore and valve seat can be pressure tested
and reused if OK; however, if the crack extendsinto
the valve seat insert bore, the cylinder headmustbe
replaced.
Visually inspect the cylinder block and head combus-
tion surfaces for localized dips or imperfections. Check
the cylinder head and block combustion surfaces for
overall out-of-flatness. If either the visual or manual
inspection exceeds the limits, then the head or block
must be surfaced.
Check the top surface for damage caused by the cylinder head gasket leakingbetween cylinders.
Inspect the block and head surface for nicks, erosion, etc.
Check the head distortion. Maximum overall variation end to end is 0.305 mm(0.012 inch), and maximum overall
variationsidetoside0.076mm(.003in.).
DO NOT proceed with the in-chassis overhaul if the cylinder head or block surface is damaged or not flat (within
specifications).
Check block surface for distortion. Maximum variation end-to-end is 0.076 mm ( .003 in.), side-to-side 0.051 mm
(.002).
Visually inspect the cylinder head bolts for damaged
threads, corroded/pitted surfaces, or a reduced diam-
eter due to bolt stretching.
If the bolts are not damaged, their “free length” should
be measured using the cap screw stretch gauge pro-
vided with the replacement head gasket. Place the
head of the bolt against the base of the slot and align
the bolt with the straight edge of gauge. If the end of
the bolt touches the foot of the gauge, the boltmust
be discarded.The maximum bolt free length is
132.1 mm (5.200 in.).
INSPECTION - CROSSHEADS
Inspect the crossheads for cracks and/or excessive
wear on rocker lever and valve tip mating surfaces.
Replace any crossheads that exhibit abnormal wear or
cracks.
