G3612 and G3616 Engines Caterpillar


Engine Timing Procedures

Usage:

G3612 1YG
Many procedures (disassembly and assembly, testing and adjusting, etc.) require the timing of the engine or the engine components. The engines are considered in time when the following conditions are met:

  • The No. 1 cylinder is at the top center (TC) position on the compression stroke.

  • The crankshaft timing pin is engaged in the bracket which is attached to the crankshaft.

  • Both camshaft timing pins are engaged in the holes in the camshaft assemblies.

Engine Rotation

When you view the engine from the flywheel end, the SAE standard engine crankshaft rotation is counterclockwise.

Note: The front end of the engine is opposite the flywheel end of the engine.

The left side and the right side are viewed from the flywheel end of the engine.

Engine Prelubrication

Many service and inspection procedures require rotation of the engine crankshaft. The prelubrication of the engine is required when the crankshaft is rotated during normal maintenance operations. This includes adjusting the valves and starting the engine.

The push button for the engine prelube is located on the panel for the Engine Supervisory System. The push button provides a manual method in order to prelube the engine.

Do not use the air or electric starting motors to rotate the crankshaft. If the crankshaft is rotated too fast, oil from the prelube pump will not be enough to protect the engine.

Use the manual barring group to rotate the engine for service work. Leave the prelube pump on during crankshaft rotation. Damage can result if the crankshaft is rotated on dry bearing surfaces.


NOTICE

In order to avoid possible damage to the engine, the prelube pump should not be operated continuously for extended periods of time. During repairs, if the prelube pump has run for more than three hours continuously, any oil that may have collected in the cylinders and/or above the valves should be removed before attempting to start the engine.

    (4) Mounting bracket for the timing pin

    (5) Timing pin

  1. Prelube the engine. Use the manual barring group to turn the engine flywheel in the direction of normal engine rotation. Turn the engine until crankshaft timing pin (5) can be installed through the mounting bracket for the timing pin (4). Ensure that the crankshaft timing pin is engaged in flywheel timing bracket (3) .

    Note: If the flywheel is turned beyond the point of installation in the flywheel timing bracket, the backlash must be removed from the timing gears. Turn the flywheel in the opposite direction of normal rotation for approximately 20 degrees. Then turn the flywheel in the direction of normal engine rotation until the timing pin can be installed in the bracket assembly. This procedure ensures that the backlash is removed from the timing gears.

    Note: There is an alternate method that can be used to determine that the No. 1 cylinder is at TC. Visually check the location of the hole in the flywheel. If the No. 1 cylinder is at TC, the hole in the flywheel for the crank angle sensor (CAS) is positioned directly opposite the CAS.

  1. Remove the valve cover from the No. 1 cylinder head.

  1. The inlet and exhaust valves for the No. 1 cylinder are fully closed if No. 1 piston is on the compression stroke and the rocker arms can be moved by hand. If the rocker arms cannot be moved and the valves are slightly open, the No. 1 piston is on the exhaust stroke. Refer to "Crankshaft Positions for Valve Lash Setting" in order to determine the correct cylinders that need to be checked and/or adjusted for the stroke position of the crankshaft when the timing pin has been installed in the crankshaft.

    Note: When the actual stroke position is identified, and the other stroke position is needed, remove all timing pins from the engine. Turn the flywheel for 360 degrees in the direction of the normal rotation.
