1.1 CYLINDER BLOCK AND CYLINDER LINER NOTICE: Before removing main bearing caps, be sure each is stamped or punch-marked in numerical order, beginning with No. 1 at the front, to ensure installation in their original position. Mark all caps on the oil cooler side (right side) of the engine to prevent reversal at assembly. Failure to mark numerical order may result in the caps being put back in incorrect order, improper crankshaft support and severe crankshaft or bearing damage or both. [z] Remove the crankshaft main bearings, refer to section 1.9.2.
1.1.3 Cleaning the Cylinder Block Before removing cylinder liners for block cleaning, the liner bores should be gaged to determine whether liner replacement is necessary. Refer to section 1.23.2.2. Remove cylinder liners with the cylinder liner removal tool (J–45876) before putting the block in cleaning or descaling baths, to avoid trapping cleaning agents in block liner seating bores. See Figure 1-8. Figure 1-8 Cylinder Liner Removal Tool (J-45876) (Rev. 2005) All information subject to change without notice. 1-12 6SE483 0507 Copyright © 2005 DETROIT DIESEL CORPORATION
