PROBLEM

Show/hide table

Raw water cooled C9 Marine generator engines are failing aftercoolers due to erosion of the core. If the 241-2850 Aftercooler fails it may cause damage to the other engine components such as pistons, liners, valves, etc.

The aftercoolers need to be replaced by the improved 3158339/">315-8339 Aftercooler between 1000 and 2000 hours of operation of the 241-2850 Aftercooler.

Refer to the appropriate Service Manual as necessary.

Replace the 241-2850 Aftercooler using the new 3158339/">315-8339 Aftercooler at part service hours between 1000 - 2000 hours to prevent failure of the core that could damage other engine components.
