Special Bolts Help Prevent Unauthorized Modification Of Fuel System And Governor Settings

Usage:


All 3406B Truck Engines

Tamperproof bolts are available to prevent unauthorized modification of fuel system and governor settings on the above engines. These bolts are available only as parts service items; they are not installed at the factory as original equipment. Each of these bolts can be installed in place of one of the standard bolts as shown in Illustration 1. When the bolts are correctly installed, removal of the adjustment covers on the governor and fuel ratio control will be very difficult.

NOTE: Use of all the bolts shown in Illustration 1 may not be necessary, depending on engine installation. It is important to remember that although the use of more tamperproof bolts offers a greater degree of protection, it also requires more labor to make approved fuel system repairs and adjustments.

The tamperproof bolts have two heads (see Illustration 2). The hex head, which is used to tighten the bolt, breaks off when the bolt is tightened to the correct torque [approximately 7 to 10 N ·m (5 to 7 lb ft)]. The second head is round.

Tamperproof bolts are not serviced as a group. Order the individual bolts, as needed, from the chart.
