Usage:
3406 Industrial, Marine and Truck Engines (90U1-2158, 91U1-484, 92U1-5943)
Starting with Serial Numbers 90U2159, 91U485 and 92U5944, drilled oil passages are used to permit oil to flow to the rocker arm mechanism. In the earlier engines, the oil flowed around two cylinder head bolts to get to the rocker arm mechanism. (See Engine News, November 5, 1976, "New Design Prevents Oil Leakage Into Cooling System," Page 2.)
Two remanufactured short blocks, which have the later lubrication system for the rocker arm mechanism, are available for repairs of the earlier 3406 Engines. The remanufactured short blocks are available for use in both the precombusion engines and the direct injection engines.
The 0R0715 Remanufactured Short Block (precombustion) and the 0R0716 Remanufactured Short Block (direct injection) are service replacements for blocks in engines with Serial Numbers 90U1-2158, 91U1-484 and 92U1-5943. Because the remanufactured short blocks have the later lubrication system, additional parts are necessary for installation of the blocks. The necessary parts are shown in the chart which follows.
NOTE: If a 7N1203 Block Group was installed during an earlier repair, it is not necessary to use the additional parts when a 0R0715 or 0R0716 Remanufactured Short Block is installed. The additional parts will have been installed with the 7N1203 Block Group.
