C7.1 Industrial Engine Cylinder Head - Install Caterpillar

Installation Procedure

1. Thoroughly clean the gasket surfaces of the cylinder head and the cylinder block. Do not damage the gasket surfaces of the cylinder head or the cylinder block. Ensure that no debris enters the cylinder bores, the coolant passages, or the lubricant passages.

2. Inspect the gasket surface of the cylinder head for distortion. Refer to Specifications, "Cylinder Head" for more information. If the gasket surface of the cylinder head is distorted beyond maximum permitted limits, replace the cylinder head.

3. Inspect dowels (31) for damage. If necessary, replace the dowels in the cylinder block.

4. Align a new cylinder head gasket (32) with dowels (31). Install the new cylinder head gasket (32) onto the cylinder block.

5. Install Tooling (B) to the cylinder block.

6. Use a suitable lifting device to lift cylinder head. The weight of the cylinder head is approximately 96 kg (212 lb).

   Note: A spreader bar must be used in order to distribute the weight of the cylinder head during the lifting operation.

7. Use Tooling (B) to align the cylinder head with the cylinder block. Install the cylinder head to the cylinder block.

   Note: Ensure that the cylinder head is correctly positioned on dowels (31).

8. Remove Tooling (B).

23. Follow Step 23.a through Step 23.b in order to connect harness assembly (11) to inlet air temperature sensor (10).

    1. Connect harness assembly (11) to inlet air temperature sensor (10).

    2. Slide locking tab (12) into the locked position.

24. Follow Step 24.a through Step 24.b in order to connect harness assembly (15) to boost pressure sensor (13).

    1. Connect harness assembly (15) to boost pressure sensor (13).

    2. Slide locking tab (14) into the locked position.

25. Position the harness assembly onto the cylinder head. Use new cable straps in order to secure the harness assembly to the cylinder head. Ensure that the harness assembly is not strained.

    Note: Ensure that the harness assembly is clear of other engine components.

26. On some applications there is an engine wiring harness support bracket on the rear of the cylinder head. If necessary, install the support bracket for the engine wiring harness to the cylinder head assembly. Use new cable straps in order to secure the engine harness assembly to the support bracket.
