SPQ2014

We finished the measurements on the CAT 3176 this week. Learned about cylinder pack replacement rather than having a tech install the piston/rod in the liner. Truth be told I like the idea.

The motor's manual does not give a lot of specs as we found out.

Checking wrist pin and rocker for wear.

Removing valves to check the face and seat for wear.

Torquing the head bolts and setting valves.

I've had a few engines apart before but never one good enough to put back together so setting the valves etc... was new to me. Everything before I've pulled a piston and decided the engine was scrap metal. It's always been a visible failure without needing to go as far as checking clearances.

This is a coolant temperature circuit.
