General Safety Instructions

Important Safety Notice∆ WARNING ∆

Improper practices or carelessness can cause burns, cuts, mutilation, asphyxiation or other bodily injury or death.

Read and understand all of the safety precautions and warnings before performing any repair. This list contains the general safety precau-tions that must be followed to provide personal safety. Special safety precautions are included in the procedures when they apply.

• Make sure the work area surrounding the product is dry, well lit, ventilated, free from clutter, loose tools, parts, ignition sources and haz-ardous substances. Be aware of hazardous conditions that can exist.

• Always wear protective glasses and protective shoes when working. • Rotating parts can cause cuts, mutilation or strangulation. • Do not wear loose-fitting or torn clothing. Remove all jewelry when working. • Disconnect the battery (negative [-] cable first) and discharge any capacitors before beginning any repair work. Disconnect the air start-

ing motor if equipped to prevent accidental engine starting. Put a "Do Not Operate" tag in the operator's compartment or on the con-trols.

• Use ONLY the proper engine barring techniques for manually rotating the engine. Do not attempt to rotate the crankshaft by pulling or prying on the fan. This practice can cause serious personal injury, property damage, or damage to the fan blade(s) causing premature fan failure.

• If an engine has been operating and the coolant is hot, allow the engine to cool before you slowly loosen the filler cap and relieve the pressure from the cooling system.

• Do not work on anything that is supported ONLY by lifting jacks or a hoist. Always use blocks or proper stands to support the product before performing any service work.

• Relieve all pressure in the air, oil, fuel and the cooling systems before any lines, fittings, or related items are removed or disconnected. Be alert for possible pressure when disconnecting any device from a system that utilizes pressure. Do not check for pressure leaks with your hand. High pressure oil or fuel can cause personal injury.

• To prevent suffocation and frostbite, wear protective clothing and ONLY disconnect fuel and liquid refrigerant (freon) lines in a well ven-tilated area. To protect the environment, liquid refrigerant systems must be properly emptied and filled using equipment that prevents the release of refrigerant gas (fluorocarbons) into the atmosphere. Federal law requires capturing and recycling refrigerant.

• To avoid personal injury, use a hoist or get assistance when lifting components that weigh 23 kg [50 lb] or more. Make sure all lifting devices such as chains, hooks, or slings are in good condition and are of the correct capacity. Make sure hooks are positioned correctly. Always use a spreader bar when necessary. The lifting hooks must not be side-loaded.

• Corrosion inhibitor, a component of SCA and lubricating oil, contains alkali. Do not get the substance in your eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Do not swallow internally. In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and water. In case of contact, immediately flood eyes with large amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes. IMMEDIATELY CALL A PHYSICIAN. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

• Naptha and Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) are flammable materials and must be used with caution. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to provide complete safety when using these materials. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

• To avoid burns, be alert for hot parts on products that have just been turned off, and hot fluids in lines, tubes, and compartments. • Always use tools that are in good condition. Make sure you understand how to use them before performing any service work. Use ONLY

Case approved replacement parts. • Always use the same fastener part number (or equivalent) when replacing fasteners. Do not use a fastener of lesser quality if replace-

ments are necessary. • Do not perform any repair when fatigued or after consuming alcohol or drugs that can impair your functioning. • Some state and federal agencies in the United States of America have determined that used engine oil can be carcinogenic and can

cause reproductive toxicity. Avoid inhalation of vapors, ingestion, and prolonged contact with used engine oil.

General Cleaning Instructions

Solvent and Acid CleaningSeveral solvent and acid-type cleaners can be used to clean the engine parts. Experience has shown that the best results can be obtainedusing a cleaner that can be heated to 90 to 95 degrees Celsius [180 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit]. A cleaning tank that provides a constantmixing and filtering of the cleaning solution will give the best results. Case Corporation does not recommend any specific cleaners.Always follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions.

Remove all the gasket material, o-rings, and the deposits of sludge, carbon, etc., with a wire brush or scraper before putting the parts in acleaning tank. Be careful not to damage any gasket surfaces. When possible, steam clean the parts before putting them in the cleaningtank.

∆ WARNING ∆Acid is extremely dangerous and can damage the machinery. Always provide a tank of strong soda water as a neutralizing agent.

Rinse all of the parts in hot water after cleaning. Dry completely with compressed air. Blow the rinse water from all of the capscrew holes andthe oil drillings.

If the parts are not to be used immediately after cleaning, dip them in a suitable rustproofing compound. The rustproofing compound mustbe removed from the parts before installation on the engine.

Steam CleaningSteam cleaning can be used to remove all types of dirt that can contaminate the cleaning tank. It is a good way to clean the oil drillings.

∆ WARNING ∆Wear protective clothing to prevent personal injury from the high pressure and extreme heat.

Do not steam clean the following parts:

Glass or Plastic Bead CleaningGlass or plastic bead cleaning can be used on many engine components to remove carbon deposits. The cleaning process is controlled bythe size of the glass or plastic beads, the operating pressure, and the cleaning time.

∆ CAUTION ∆Do not use glass or plastic bead cleaning on aluminum piston skirts. Do not use glass bead cleaning on aluminum ring grooves.Small particles of glass or plastic will embed in the aluminum and result in premature wear. Valves, turbocharger shafts, etc., canalso be damaged. Follow the cleaning directions listed in the procedures.

NOTE: Plastic bead blasting media can be used to clean aluminum ring grooves. Do not use any bead blasting media on pin bores or alumi-num skirts.

Follow the equipment manufacturer's cleaning instructions. The following guidelines can be used to adapt to manufacturer's instructions:

1. Bead size:-Use U.S. size No. 16-20 for piston cleaning with plastic bead media.-Use U.S. size No. 70 for piston domes with glass media.-Use U.S. size No. 60 for general purpose cleaning with glass media.

2. Operating Pressure:-Glass: Use 620 kPa [90 psi] for general purpose cleaning.-Plastic: Use 270 kPa [40 psi] for piston cleaning.

3. Steam clean or wash the parts with solvent to remove all of the foreign material and glass or plastic beads after cleaning. Rinse with hot water. Dry with compressed air.

4. Do not contaminate the wash tanks with glass or plastic beads.

Engine Noise Diagnostic Procedures General Information 24 Valve, 8.3 Liter EnginePage TS-104 Section TS - Troubleshooting Symptoms

Rac 7-89351 Released 11-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Engine Noise Diagnostic Procedures General InformationNOTE: When diagnosing engine noise problems, make sure that noises caused by accessories, such as the air compressor and power takeoff, are not mistaken for engine noises. Remove the accessory drive belts to eliminate noise caused by these units. Noise will also travel to other metal parts not related to the problem. The use of a stethoscope can help locate an engine noise.

Engine noises heard at the crankshaft speed, engine rpm, are noises related to the crankshaft, rods, pistons, and piston pins. Noises heard at the camshaft speed, one-half of the engine rpm, are related to the valve train. A hand-held digital tachometer can help to determine if the noise is related to components operating at the crankshaft or camshaft speed.

Engine noise can sometimes be isolated by performing a cylinder cutout test. If the volume of the noise decreases or the noise disappears, it is related to that particular engine cylinder.

There is not a definite rule or test that will positively determine the source of a noise complaint.

Engine driven components and accessories, such as gear-driven fan clutches, hydraulic pumps, belt-driven alternators, air-conditioning compressors, and turbochargers can contribute to engine noise. Use the following information as a guide to diagnosing engine noise.

Main Bearing Noise(Refer to Engine Noise Excessive Main Bearing symptom tree)

The noise caused by a loose main bearing is a loud dull knock heard when the engine is pulling a load. If all main bearings are loose, a loud clatter will be heard. The knock is heard regularly every other revolution. The noise is the loudest when the engine is lugging or under heavy load. The knock is duller than a connecting rod noise. Low oil pressure can also accompany this condition.

If the bearing is not loose enough to produce a knock by itself, the bearing can knock if the oil is too thin, or if there is no oil at the bearing.

An irregular noise can indicate worn crankshaft thrust bearings.

An intermittent sharp knock indicates excessive crankshaft end clearance. Repeated clutch disengagements can cause a change in the noise.

Connecting Rod Bearing Noise(Refer to Engine Noise Excessive Connecting Rod symptom tree)

Connecting rods with excessive clearance knock at all engine speeds, and under both idle and load conditions. When the bearings begin to become loose, the noise can be confused with piston slap or loose piston pins. The noise increases in volume with engine speed. Low oil pressure can also accompany this condition.

Piston Noise(Refer to Engine Noise Excessive Piston symptom tree)

It is difficult to tell the difference between piston pin, connecting rod, and piston noise. A loose piston pin causes a loud double knock which is usually heard when the engine is idling. When the injector to this cylinder is cut out, a noticeable change will be heard in the sound of the knocking noise. However, on some engines the knock becomes more noticeable when the vehicle is operated on the road at steady speed condition.

Rac 7-89370 Released 11-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Cylinder Liner (001-028)

Preparatory (001-028-000)

The cylinder block has a replaceable cylinder liner. A mid-stop designis used to locate the liner in the block. A press fit between the liner andthe block provides coolant sealing at the top of the liner. A rectangularring seal (liner seal) is used for sealing at the mid-stop portion of theliner.

NOTE: Case Corporation does not recommend removing the cylinderliners to repair an oil consumption problem if the inside diameters ofthe liners are within the inspection limits included in this procedure.

Careful analysis of the condition of the liner bores, piston rings, andpistons can result in the restoration of cylinder sealing with a minimumreplacement of parts.

Preliminary Liner Inspection

Before removing the cylinder liners, inspect the condition to determinereuse.

Inspect the inside diameters of the liners for cracks, scuffing, and scor-ing.

Inspect the inside diameters for vertical scratches deep enough to befelt with a fingernail.

NOTE: If a fingernail catches in the scratch, the liner must be re-placed.

Inspect the inside diameter for liner bore polishing.

A moderate polish produces a bright mirror finish in the worn area withtraces of the original hone marks or an indication of an etch pattern.

A heavy polish produces a bright mirror finish in the worn area with notraces of hone marks or an etch pattern.

Do not reuse liners exhibiting heavy polish or any indications of parti-cle embedment from a failure. Severely worn liners will have a ridgenear the top of the liner bore.

If the wear pattern indicates the liner bore is not straight or not round,use a dial bore gauge to measure the liner inside diameter in four plac-es 90 degrees apart at the top and bottom of the piston travel area.

NOTE: If a liner bore is not acceptable for reuse, it must be replaced.Damaged liners can not be honed or deglazed. This would destroy thecross-hatch pattern needed for oil control.

NOTE: Do not remove or disturb the liner seals for liners which passthe inspection criteria.

Liner Protrusion Gauge, Tool No. OEM6459

Liner protrusion is the distance the liner protrudes above the blockface. Before removing the liners, check the protrusion in the unclampedstage.

If the liner was installed correctly and the liner protrusion is out of limits,it will be necessary to machine the counterbore and add shims to re-store to the original specifications.

Use clean shop rags to cover the crankshaft to prevent debris from fall-ing into the main journal area or into the connecting rod journal oil drill-ing.

Cylinder Liner Puller, Tool No. OEM4083 and OTC Plate No. 1234

∆ CAUTION ∆The liner puller must be installed and used as described to avoiddamage to the cylinder block. The puller must not contact theblock casting at points (1), (2), (3), and (4).

Piston Ring - Inspection

Check the cylinder liner for wear, for those cylinders with no obviousdamage, check the following conditions which can cause loss of seal-ing:

• Rings installed incorrectly.

NOTE: There are two different design intermediate rings used (A) rect-angular (B) reverse twist.

Refer to piston rings installation in this section.

• Condition of ring is worn.

• Abrasive wear is indicated by the concentrated vertical scratches (B). The chromium plate is worn through and the face of the ring has a brighter finish compared to the dull satin finish of a new ring (A).

• This type of wear can be caused by ingested abrasive material. Inadequate cleaning during a previous repair or particles embed-ded in the liner can cause the condition.

Scuffing and scoring is indicated by the heavy scratches, metal discol-oration and voids (B).

This damage indicates a break down of the oil film on the liner wallcausing transfer of material from the ring face to the liner. The conditioncan be caused by:

• Engine is overheating.• Oil dilution or improper maintenance of the lubrication system.• Piston cooling nozzle malfunction.

Oil ring plugging is indicated by the deposits in the oil ring grooves (B).Plugging of the ring drains restricts oil drain back which floods the ringbelt area resulting in a loss of oil control. The condition can be causedby:

• Low engine operating temperatures - long periods of idling or a cooling system malfunction.

• Extended oil change intervals, the wrong grade of oil or poor quality oil.

Gauge Block, Tool No. OEM6459

Place the injection protrusion tool on the flat surface of the head. Mea-sure the injector protrusion to the highest point on the injector. The pro-trusion should be within the following specifications:

3.0 mm +/- 0.4 mm [1.18 in +/- 0.16 in]

If the injector protrusion is out of specification, check the thickness ofthe injector sealing washer. Refer to Procedure 006-026.

If the sealing washer is the correct thickness, check to make sure theinjector bore is clean and free of debris.

If dirt is present, clean the injector bore using a injector bore brush.

In addition to a single sealing washer (A) on the injector, the thickness(B) of the head gasket controls injector protrusion.

If the head has been milled then the injector protrusion will be in-creased.

Make sure the proper thickness head gasket is being used for theamount the head that has been milled. Also when measuring the pro-trusion, the head gasket is not in place, so any increase in head gasketthickness over the standard head gasket must be subtracted from theinjector protrusion measurement.

NOTE: Measured protrusion - (new head gasket thickness - standardthickness) = protrusion. Protrusion must be within specification formu-la.

If difficulty is experienced in getting the tappet to make the bend fromthe trough up to the tappet bore, pull the trough out enough to allow thetappet to drop down and align itself, then pull the tappet up into thebore.

After the tappet has been pulled up into position, slide the trough backinto the cam bore and rotate it one-half turn. This will position the roundside of the trough up, which will hold the tappet in place.

Remove the installation tool from the tappet.

Install a wooden dowel into the top of the tappet. Wrap rubber bandsaround the wooden dowels to secure the tappets.

Repeat this process until all tappets have been installed.

Fuel System - General Information

General Information

CAPS Fuel Pump Familiarization

The CAPS fuel system is a distributor type injection system. CAPSstands for Cummins Accumulator Pump System. An accumulator isused to store pressurized fuel for the injection event. There are fourcomponents that provide or receive input to the electronic control mod-ule (ECM). There are two pumping control valves (1) which are con-trolled by the ECM. These valves control the pressure in theaccumulator. The accumulator fuel pressure/temperature (2) sensor islocated on the accumulator and provides the ECM with pressure andtemperature information. The Injection Control Valve (3) is also con-trolled by the ECM and regulates fueling and timing.

The CAPS injection pump can be divided into six distinct units/mod-ules. They are the gear pump, cam and housing, accumulator/pumpingplunger, rate shape tube, injection control valve (ICV), and distributor.Fuel flows through the modules in the following order;

1. gear pump2. cam and housing3. accumulator4. rate shape tube 5. injector control valve (ICV)6. distributor

A lift pump is used for priming the pump at start up. The lift pump runsfor approximately 30 seconds after key-on. Once the engine is started,the gear pump is able to maintain prime without any assistance fromthe lift pump.

1. fuel filter2. lift pump3. fuel tank

The gear pump supplies fuel to the pumping plungers through internaldrillings in the cam housing. The gear pump also supplies fuel to thedistributor for lubrication and injection line refill purposes. The gearpump is regulated to approximately 180 psi at 2400 engine rpm. Thegear pump has an internal filter to catch any debris generated down-stream of the main, external fuel filter. The pump camshaft is driven offthe engine camshaft (just like the Bosch pump), therefore pump rpm isone-half engine rpm. The gear pump is driven by the pump camshaftvia an internal coupling. The gear pump shaft drives the distributor ro-tor.

Fuel System - General Information 24 Valve, 8.3 Liter EnginePage 5-2 Section 5 - Fuel System - Group 05

Rac 7-89411 Released 11-98 (Revised 7-99) Printed in U.S.A.

Each pumping plunger is driven by a two lobed camshaft with three liftprofiles per lobe. The camshaft pump is located in the cam housingmodule. The bearings that support the camshaft as well as the tappets,rollers, and camshaft itself are lubricated with engine oil. These are theonly components in the pump lubricated with engine oil.

The volume above each pumping plunger is filled, by the gear pump,as the plungers travel downwards. A pumping control valve (PCV) is lo-cated above each pumping plunger. The supply fuel from the gearpump flows around the plunger of this normally open valve into thechamber above the plunger. As the plunger starts to move upwards thefuel is pushed backwards into the gear pump. The time at which thepumping control valve is energized (closed) is based on engine speed,accumulator pressure, and throttle position. When the pumping controlvalve closes, the fuel is pushed into the accumulator and then held bycheck valves. A zero to 24000 psi pressure sensor is located in the ac-cumulator. The pressure sensor provides direct feed back to the ECM,so the desired accumulator pressure is maintained. This pressure sen-sor also has temperature sensing capabilities built into it. Fuel movesfrom the accumulator to the distributor via the rate shape tube.

Fuel is delivered to the injection control valve (ICV) by the rate shapetube through a drilling in the distributor. The ICV controls both fuelingand timing. The injection control valve contains an inner pin and outervalve. The outer valve is fastened to an armature which is driven by themagnetic force of an ECM controlled stator. The inner pin is driven bytwo methods, spring force and fuel pressure. When the two pins are inthe closed position no fuel flows through the control valve. When thestator is energized the outer valve is drawn towards the stator. The in-ner pin is forced to travel with the outer pin by a spring. The inner pinonly travels about half the distance the outer pin does and comes torest against a stop. Once the two pins separate fuel can flow to drainor to the injectors. The pressure of this fuel forces the inner pin to moveback to the starting position. When the outer pin seats against its seatthe flow path to the drain is closed and fuel is directed to the injectorthrough the distributor. The injection control valve goes through thisprocess once for each injection event.

The distributor directs the fuel to the correct injector. The drain fuelfrom the ICV is routed through the ICV pressure regulator and is re-turned to the tank.

Initial Check (005-045-001)

A malfunctioning electric fuel lift pump can cause low power or roughrunning from the engine. The fuel lift pump can be cleaned and re-paired to a limited extent.

∆ CAUTION ∆Do not operate the fuel system with a suction restriction of morethan 4 in Hg.

Maximum pressure drop across the filter is 34 kPa [5 psi] or 258 mmHg [10 in Hg].

The pressure drop will increase as the filter removes contaminationfrom the fuel.

NOTE: The Case 24 Valve, 8.3 Liter Engine lift pump is used for initialprime only.

Check for fuel lift pump operation by turning the vehicle key switch tothe ON position and listening or feeling for operation.

NOTE: Lift pump runs for only 30 seconds at key ON then shuts off.

If the fuel lift pump is not working, check for voltage at the lift pump en-gine harness connector (9 to 12 volts) after keyswitch is on.

If the voltage does not meet the specifications, check for a good powersupply.

Injectors and Fuel Lines - General Information

General Information

∆ WARNING ∆Fuel is flammable. Keep all cigarettes, flames, pilot lights, arcingequipment, and switches out of the work area and areas sharingventilation to avoid severe personal injury or death when workingon the fuel system.

Injectors used in the Case 24 Valve, 8.3 Liter engines have hole typenozzles. High pressure fuel flows into the side of the injector and caus-es the needle to lift and fuel to be injected. The clearances in the noz-zle bore are extremely small and any sort of dirt or contaminants willcause the injector needle valve to stick. This is why it is important toclean around any fuel connection before servicing it. Also, cap or coverany open fuel connections before a fuel system repair is performed.

High pressure fuel is supplied to the injector (1) from the fuel pump viaan injector supply line (2) and a fuel connector (3). The end ferrule onthe injector supply line pushes against the fuel connector when the fuelline nut is torqued in the cylinder head. This force provides the sealingpressure between both the injector supply line to the fuel connectorand the connector to the injector.

The torque on this line is critical. If the nut is under torqued, the sur-faces will not seal and a high pressure fuel leak will result. If the nut isover torqued, the connector and injector will deform and also cause ahigh pressure leak. The leak may result in an injector misfire and lowpower.

Always lubricate the threads of the high pressure line nuts with engineoil before tightening. Always make sure the proper torque is used onthe high pressure line nuts.

The fuel connector contains an edge filter that breaks up small contam-inants that enter the fuel system. The edge filter uses the pulsatinghigh pressure to break up most particles so they are small enough topass through the injector.

NOTE: The edge filters are not a substitute for cleaning and coveringall fuel system connections during repair. Edge filters are not a substi-tute for maintaining the recommended engine mounted fuel filter.

Rac 7-89421 Released 10-98 (Revised 7-99) Printed in U.S.A.

The fuel filter is a spin-on type.

Fuel flows around the outside of the filter and back up through the mid-dle. The filtering media is a 10 micron Stratapore design for efficientdebris removal. The filter also strips the water and collects it at the bot-tom of the filter to be drained daily.

The Case 24 Valve, 8.3 Liter Engine lift pump will run for approximately30 seconds after the key is switched on to assist with fuel priming. Thelift pump will run during cranking and while the engine is running untilthe 30 seconds has lapsed. The lift pump will shut off anytime the keyis switched off. The 30 second timer is reset after each key switch cycleand ECM power down.

Once the engine is started, additional fuel is drawn through the liftpump head via the gear pump. A valve in the head opens when thegear pump requires more flow than the lift pump can provide or whenthe lift pump is shut off.

Air in Fuel (006-003)

Measure (006-003-010)

∆ CAUTION ∆The pressure of the fuel line is sufficient to penetrate the skin andcause serious bodily harm.

To check for air in the high pressure lines, loosen the fittings at thehead. Crank the engine to allow entrapped air to bleed from the line.Tighten the fittings.

Torque Value: 37 N•m [28 ft-lb]

High pressure line tube nuts should be lubricated with fuel or oil beforetorquing.

∆ CAUTION ∆Do not bleed a hot engine as this could cause fuel to spill onto thehot exhaust manifold creating a danger of fire.

Operate the engine and vent one line at a time until the engine runssmoothly.

Test (006-003-012)

The air bleed fitting on the CAPS fuel system creates a self-bleedingsystem during replacement of the supply side components.

High pressure fuel line removal and replacement will not require exter-nal bleeding to start the engine. The CAPS fuel pump will create highfuel pressure during cranking and purge the air in the high pressureside through the injectors.

Generally, most of the air that enters the low pressure system duringcomponent replacement can be bled out by turning the fuel lift pumpon for 30 seconds.

NOTE: To run the fuel lift pump for an additional 30 seconds, cycle thekey switch to off, pause for 30 seconds then turn the key switch to theON position.

Rac 7-89421 Released 10-98 (Revised 7-99) Printed in U.S.A.

NOTE: If an excessive amount of air has entered the system, the sys-tem will need to be bled.

Loosen the fuel supply line at the CAPS pump. Run the fuel lift pumpuntil the air has been bled. When all the air has been bled, retightenthe fitting.

If air continues to appear in the system for several minutes, an air leakis present. A source, which is often overlooked, for air to enter the fuelsystem is between the inlet of the pre-filter and the suction tube in thetank. Fuel tanks that have the outlet fitting at the top will have a suctiontube at the bottom of the tank. Cracks or pin holes in the weld that joinsthe tube to the fitting can let air enter the fuel system.

Check to make sure that all fittings from the fuel supply line on the tankto the inlet of the fuel lift pump are tight.

Supply line leaks from the lift pump to the CAPS fuel pump may be lo-cated by operating the lift pump via an electronic servoce tool or keyswitch cycling, to build pressure in the fuel lines. Inspect all lines, con-nections, and filter assembly for an external fuel leak.

A stuck open injector can also blow combustion gas back into the pumpand cause air to be present in the overflow. If the engine seems to bemisfiring or running rough, break all the injector supply lines loose atthe pump end. Crank the engine and observe the lines. If combustiongas seems to be blowing back through the line, the injector is stuckopen. Remove and test the injector, refer to Procedure 006-026.

Rac 7-89421 Released 10-98 (Revised 7-99) Printed in U.S.A.

Operate the test stand lever quickly several times to check the spraypattern of the injectors. Verify that the correct number of plumes arepresent for the number of holes in the injector. Also pay close attentionto the size and shape of each plume. If possible, compare the spraypattern to that of a new injector with the same assembly number.

NOTE: The injector spray pattern is an excellent indicator of the nozzlehole condition. Check each plume carefully because it is possible thatonly a single hole has been damaged, yet significant performance is-sues may result.

Close the bypass valve for the pressure gauge and operate the teststand lever to check the nozzle opening pressure. There should be agood crisp pop when the nozzle opens and the pressure should bewithin specification for the assembly number.

If the nozzle opening pressure is excessively low and/or the nozzlesprays excessive fuel, the injector needle may be sticking. The needlemay be stuck due to poor lubrication or debris.

Sometimes it is possible to unstick an injector needle by using the in-jector test stand. Open the bypass valve for the pressure gauge andoperate the test stand lever rapidly for 10 to 20 strokes.

Recheck the nozzle opening pressure and spray pattern to see if theinjector has returned to normal operation.

If the injector is still out of specification, replace the injector.

Lubricating Oil System - General Information

∆ WARNING ∆Some state and federal agencies in the United Statesof America have determined that used engine oil canbe carcinogenic and can cause reproductive toxicity.Avoid inhalation of vapors, ingestion, and prolongedcontact with used engine oil.

∆ WARNING ∆Avoid direct contact of hot oil with your skin. Hot oilcan cause personal injury.

Case Corporation recommends the use of a high qualitySAE 15W-40 heavy duty engine oil which meets theAmerican Petroleum Institute (API) performance classifi-cation CE/SG.

APi grade CG-4/CF-4 engine oils can be used in areaswhere CE oil is not yet available, but the lubricating oilchange interval must be reduced to 1/2 of the interval giv-en in the maintenance schedule.

∆ CAUTION ∆Limited use of low viscosity lubricating oils, such as10W-30, can aid in starting the engine and providingsufficient lubricating oil flow at ambient temperaturesbelow -5°C [23°F]. However, the continuous use of lowviscosity lubricating oils can decrease engine life. Re-fer to the accompanying chart.

Diagnosing Lubricating System Malfunctions

When diagnosing lubrication system malfunctions, checkall obvious items related to oil pressure, such as gauges;high and low oil level; excessive oil contamination; and oilviscosity.

Page 342: 8.3L Cummins Engine SM

Lubricating Oil System - General Information 24 Valve, 8.3 Liter EnginePage 7-2 Section 7 - Lubricating Oil System - Group 07

Rac 7-89430 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

High Lubricating Oil Pressure

High oil pressure usually occurs after the engine is firststarted in cold weather. Cold start oil pressure typicallywill be approximately 827 to 1034 kPa [120 to 150 psi]. Ifthe pressure regulator plunger is operating properly, thenthe oil pressure should drop back to approximately 449kPa [65 psi] when normal operating temperature isreached.

Lubricating Oil Pressure Regulating Valve

The engine will have high oil pressure at the normal oper-ating temperature if the regulator sticks in the closed po-sition. Check the regulator for freedom of movement.Refer to Procedure 007-029.

Low Lubricating Oil Pressure

Low lubricating oil pressure (or no oil pressure) can becaused by several lubrication system related malfunc-tions. To begin the investigation, determine the engine op-erating conditions when the low pressure was firstobserved; for example, following a service interval, at idleonly, while operating on a steep grade.

Lubricating Oil Level

High oil level can cause low oil pressure. If the oil level ishigh enough for the connecting rods to dip into during op-eration, the oil can become aerated. This will result in lowoil pressure and high engine temperature.

Page 343: 8.3L Cummins Engine SM

24 Valve, 8.3 Liter Engine Lubricating Oil System - General InformationSection 7 - Lubricating Oil System - Group 07 Page 7-3

Rac 7-89430 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Low lubricating oil level will not normally appear as low oilpressure. Typically, it will appear as an intermittent loss ofoil pressure when rounding a corner or operating on asteep grade. This condition exists when the oil level is ex-tremely low and the suction tube can not pick up oil duringall modes of operation.

Lubricating Oil Filter

A plugged filter will cause a gradual loss of oil pressure byapproximately 69 kPa [10 psi]. The pressure will return tonormal when the filter bypass valve opens. If not correct-ed, this will result in severe engine wear, as the engine isrunning on unfiltered oil when the bypass valve is open.

Lubricating Oil Gauge

Check the lubricating oil gauge and sending unit to makesure they are operating correctly by verifying the pressurewith a manual gauge.

Lubricating Oil Suction Tube

A loose suction tube, damaged gasket, or crack in the suc-tion tube can cause a temporary loss of prime for the oilpump. The engine will have low pressure or no oil pres-sure at starting, followed by normal oil pressure.

Rac 7-89430 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Bearings and Lubricating Oil Pump

A steady decrease in oil pressure over a long period oftime can be an indication of worn bearings or excessive oilpump wear.

Lubricating Oil Dilution

∆ CAUTION ∆Diluted oil can cause severe engine damage.

Check the condition of the lubricating oil.

• Thin, black lubricating oil is an indication of fuel in the oil.

• Milky discoloration is an indication of coolant in the lubricating oil.

Coolant in the oil can be caused by:

• Expansion plugs that are leaking• Lubricating oil cooler element that is leaking• Damaged cylinder head or gasket• Cracked engine block • Casting porosity.

Coolant Diluted Lubricating Oil

Since the lubricating oil cooler design does not requiregaskets or seals to maintain the separation of oil and cool-ant, the element itself must leak to allow mixing of the flu-ids. Refer to Procedure 007-003.

Page 345: 8.3L Cummins Engine SM

24 Valve, 8.3 Liter Engine Lubricating Oil System - General InformationSection 7 - Lubricating Oil System - Group 07 Page 7-5

Rac 7-89430 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

During operation, the lubricating oil pressure will be higherthan coolant pressure. A leak in the lubricating oil coolerwill appear as lubricating oil in the coolant.

However, following an engine shutdown, the residualpressure in the coolant system can cause coolant to seepthrough the leak path into the lubricating oil.

To check for leaks, pressurize the cooling system to 140kPa [20 psi]. With the system pressurized, remove the fol-lowing components and inspect for leaks:

• Valve covers (leaks indicate cracked head).• Lubricating oil drain plug (leaks indicate defective

lubricating oil cooler, head gasket, cracked head, or block).

Coolant in the lubricating oil can be caused by a damagedcylinder head gasket or cracked cylinder head or block.

Remove the cylinder head and gasket, and inspect forcracks or damage. Refer to Procedure 002-004.

Fuel Diluted Lubricating Oil

Use the following logic to determine the source of the oildilution with fuel.

Fuel dilution is limited to three sources:

• Injection pump cam housing• Fuel leaking by the rings• Injector leakage.

A cracked cam housing can cause fuel to leak into thegear housing and then into the lubrication oil pan.

Page 346: 8.3L Cummins Engine SM

Lubricating Oil System - General Information 24 Valve, 8.3 Liter EnginePage 7-6 Section 7 - Lubricating Oil System - Group 07

Rac 7-89430 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Incomplete combustion in the cylinders can result in un-burned fuel draining into the oil pan.

This condition can be caused by a leaking injector or re-duced compression caused by inadequate piston ringsealing.

An increase in white exhaust smoke during the first startof the day is a symptom that an injector is leaking.

An injector leak will also cause the engine to run roughand have low power.Remove, repair, or replace leaking injectors. Refer to Pro-cedure 006-026, for test and repair instructions.

Lubricating Oil Leaks

Various gaskets, seals, and plugs are used to contain thelubricating oil. Most leaks can be identified during routineinspection of the engine and vehicle.

A blown expansion plug can allow a relatively large quan-tity of lubricating oil to escape, resulting in a sudden dropin the lubricating oil pressure.

When checking for such a leak, be sure to check all ex-pansion plugs that may be obscured by chassis parts.

Lubricating oil blowing out of the breather is a sign of ablown expansion plug.

Page 347: 8.3L Cummins Engine SM

24 Valve, 8.3 Liter Engine Lubricating Oil System - General InformationSection 7 - Lubricating Oil System - Group 07 Page 7-7

Rac 7-89430 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

If the lubricating oil cooler element ruptures, the lubricat-ing oil pressure may force lubricating oil into the coolingsystem. Lubricating oil in the coolant should be visiblewhen the radiator cap is removed. Refer to Procedure007-003.

Worn or damaged seals in the turbocharger can also allowlubricating oil to leak into the air crossover pipe and beburned in the engine.

The condition can be verified by removing the air cross-over tube or charge air cooler tubing and looking for oil.

Inadequate sealing of the piston rings will result in lubri-cating oil being blown out the breather tube and/or con-sumed by the engine. Refer to Procedure 014-002.

Lubricating oil can also be lost through a worn or malfunc-tioning air compressor. Look for carbon build-up in the airline from the compressor to the air tank. Also, a failed aircompressor head or head gasket can allow oil to leak intothe coolant, or coolant to leak into the oil, during hot shut-down.

Rac 7-89440 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Flow Diagram, Cooling SystemThe following illustration identifies the significant features of the cooling system.

1. Coolant is drawn from the radiator by the integrally mounted water pump. The output from the water pump empties into the oil cooler cavity of the cylinder block.

2. The coolant then circulates around each cylinder and crosses the block to the fuel pump side of the engine.3. Coolant then flows up into the cylinder head, crosses over the valve bridges and down the exhaust manifold

side of the engine to the integral thermostat housing.4. As the coolant flows across the head toward the thermostat housing, it provides coolant for the injector. When

the engine is below operating temperature, the thermostat is closed, and the coolant flow bypasses the radiator and goes to the water pump inlet through internal drillings in the block.

When operating temperature is reached, the thermostat opens, blocking the bypass passage to the water pump andopening the outlet to the radiator.

∆ CAUTION ∆Never operate the engine without a thermostat. Without a thermostat, the coolant will not flow to the radiatorand the engine will overheat.

Rac 7-89440 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Coolant Thermostat (008-013)

General Information

The thermostat controls the coolant temperature. Whenthe coolant temperature is below operating temperature,coolant is bypassed to the inlet of the water pump. Whenthe coolant temperature reaches the operating range, thethermostat opens, sealing off the bypass, forcing coolantto flow to the radiator. The thermostat begins opening at82°C [180°F].

∆ CAUTION ∆Never operate the engine without a thermostat. With-out a thermostat, the path of least resistance for thecoolant is through the bypass to the pump inlet. Thiswill cause the engine to overheat.

An incorrect or malfunctioning thermostat can cause theengine to run too hot or too cold.

Cooling System (008-018)

General Information

The function of the cooling system is to maintain a speci-fied operating temperature for the engine. Some of theheat generated by the engine is absorbed by the coolantflowing through the passages in the cylinder block andhead. Then, heat is removed from the coolant as it flowsthrough the radiator.

The accompanying chart illustrates the coolant flowthrough the engine. For more detail, refer to the coolantflow diagrams.

sories (e.g., heater core)3. Thermostat4. Radiator

Rac 7-89440 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Open the petcocks at the bottom of the radiator and at thebottom of the oil cooler housing. Remove the lower radia-tor hose. A 20 liter [4 U.S. gallons] drain pan will containthe coolant in most applications.

When you troubleshoot overheating, remember that toomuch oil in the oil pan can cause additional heat from fric-tion when the rod journals are submerged in oil. Overfillingwith oil raises the oil temperature that is transferred to thecooling system at the oil cooler.

The system is designed to use a specific quantity of cool-ant. If the coolant level is low, the engine will run hot.

NOTE: The engine or system has a leak if frequent addi-tion of coolant is necessary. Find and repair the leak.

∆ CAUTION ∆The engine coolant passages must be completelyfilled with coolant.

During operation, entrapped air mixes with the coolant,which results in cavitation corrosion and poor heat trans-fer. Highly aerated coolant can cause localized overheat-ing of the cylinder head and block that can result in acracked head, scored cylinder liner, or blown head gasket.

Rac 7-89440 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Obstructions in the coolant passages will reduce coolantflow, which can lead to overheating.

NOTE: The small holes in the head gasket are especiallysusceptible to plugging. Their size is critical. Do not en-large the size of the orifices. To do so will disturb the cool-ant flow and will not solve an overheating problem.

∆ CAUTION ∆Never use water alone for coolant. Damage from cor-rosion can result.

Water will cause rust formation, reducing the flow in thesmaller coolant passages.

Also, water used as a coolant for even a relatively shortperiod can result in the expansion plugs rusting through,which will allow the coolant to leak.

NOTE: A sudden loss of coolant from a heavily loadedengine can result in severe damage to the pistons and cyl-inder bore.

Overfueling and Loading

∆ CAUTION ∆Overfueling can cause the engine to overheat. Makesure that the correct engine electronic control module(ECM) calibration is being used.

∆ CAUTION ∆Constant overloading (lugging) can cause the engineto run hot.

Fully Formulated Coolant/Antifreeze

Case Corporation recommends using either a 50/50 mix-ture of good quality water and fully formulated antifreeze,or fully formulated coolant when filling the cooling system.The fully formulated antifreeze or coolant must meet TMCRP329 or TMC RP330 specifications.

Good quality water is important for cooling system perfor-mance. Excessive levels of calcium and magnesium con-tribute to scaling problems, and excessive levels ofchlorides and sulfates cause cooling system corrosion.

Fully formulated antifreeze must be mixed with good qual-ity water at a 50/50 mix (40 to 60 percent working range).A 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water gives a -36°C [-34°F] freezing point and a boiling point of 110°C [228°F],which is adequate for locations in North America. The ac-tual lowest freezing point of ethelyne glycol antifreeze is at68 percent. Using higher concentrations of antifreeze willraise the freezing point of the solution and increase thepossibility of a silicate gel problem.

Cooling System Sealing Additives

Do not use sealing additives in the cooling system. Theuse of sealing additives will:

• Build up in coolant low flow areas• Clog coolant filters• Plug radiator and oil cooler.

Cooling System Soluble Oils

Do not use soluble oils in the cooling system. The use ofsoluble oils will:

• Corrode brass and copper• Damage heat transfer surfaces• Damage seals and hoses.

Fan Clutch, On-Off (008-027)

General Information

Many fan clutches can be controlled by the engine's elec-tronic control module (ECM). The ECM monitors coolanttemperature and intake manifold temperature to deter-mine when to engage the cooling fan. Some applicationshave additional sensors monitored by the ECM for fancontrol (for example, air conditioner pressure and trans-mission temperature). These are various fan clutch types,such as air engaged, air disengaged, electric, viscous,and ON/OFF. Refer to the equipment manufacturer's ser-vice manual to determine fan clutch type.

The ECM is capable of using either a zero VDC or 12 VDCsignal to engage the fan clutch. The enable logic is con-tained in the ECM calibration and can be programmed us-ing an electronic service tool.

Refer to the vehicle service manual for fan clutch trouble-shooting and repair information.

Fan Shroud Assembly (008-038)

General Information

The radiator or fan shroud is used to direct all air flowacross the radiator fins rather than around the edges ofthe radiator.

An incorrect fan shroud or obstructions can reduce air flowand cause the engine to run hot.

NOTE: Check to be sure air is not recirculating. Check formissing baffles.

Refer to the vehicle service manual for radiator cap testprocedure.

Water Pump (008-062)

General Information

The water pump pulls coolant from the bottom of the radi-ator and pumps it through the engine back to the top of theradiator for cooling. Reduced or interrupted flow will resultin the engine running hot.

Page 407: 8.3L Cummins Engine SM

24 Valve, 8.3 Liter Engine Water Pump (008-062)Section 8 - Cooling System - Group 08 Page 8-27

Rac 7-89440 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

The pump is belt driven from the crankshaft pulley. An au-tomatic belt tensioner is used to prevent the belt from slip-ping on the pump pulley. A malfunction of the tensionerwill cause the water pump impeller to rotate at a slowerspeed, reducing the amount of coolant flow.

The coolant flow can also be reduced if the inlet hose tothe water pump collapses. A hose will usually not collapsewhile the engine is running at low speed. Check the hosewhile the engine is running at rated speed.

NOTE: Be sure the engine is warm, a minimum of 90.6°C[195°F], so the thermostat is open.

A worn or malfunctioning water pump will not produce theflow required to prevent the engine from running hot. How-ever, be sure to check the other possibilities indicated inthe Coolant Temperature Above Normal symptom chart inSection TS, Troubleshooting Symptoms, before checkingthe flow or replacing the pump.

Air Intake System - General Informa-tion

The combustion air system on the Case 24 Valve, 8.3 Literengine consists of an air cleaner, intake air piping, turbo-charger, charge air piping, charge air cooler (CAC), andintake air heater.

Air is drawn through the air cleaner into the compressorside of the turbocharger (1). It is then forced through theCAC piping (2) to the CAC (3), the intake air heater (if ap-plicable), and into the intake manifold (4). From the intakemanifold, air is forced into the cylinders (5) and used forcombustion.

The turbocharger uses exhaust gas energy to turn the tur-bine wheel. The turbine wheel drives the compressor im-peller which provides pressurized air to the engine forcombustion. The additional air provided by the turbo-charger allows more fuel to be injected to increase thepower output from the engine.

The turbine, compressor wheels, and the shaft are sup-ported by two rotating bearings in the bearing housing.Passages in the bearing housing direct filtered, pressur-ized engine oil to the shaft bearings and thrust bearings.The oil is used to lubricate and cool the rotating compo-nents. Oil then drains from the bearing housing to the en-gine sump through the oil drain line.

∆ CAUTION ∆A restricted oil drain line can cause the turbochargerbearing housing to be pressurized, causing oil to leakpast the seal rings.

NOTE: An adequate supply of good, filtered oil is very im-portant to the life of the turbocharger. Make sure that ahigh quality oil is used and that it and the oil filter arechanged according to maintenance recommendations.

Page 418: 8.3L Cummins Engine SM

Air Intake System - General Information 24 Valve, 8.3 Liter EnginePage 10-2 Section 10 - Air Intake System - Group 10

Rac 7-89460 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

∆ CAUTION ∆The turbocharger is a performance part and must notbe tampered with. The wastegate bracket is an inte-gral part of the turbocharger. Tampering with thewastegate components can reduce durability by in-creasing cylinder pressure and thermal loading dueto incorrect inlet and exhaust manifold pressure.

∆ CAUTION ∆Poor fuel economy and failure to meet regulatoryemissions laws may result. Increasing the turbo-charger boost will not increase engine power.

Wastegated turbochargers are used to optimize perfor-mance. The wastegated design allows maximum boost tobe developed quickly while ensuring that the turbo doesnot overspeed at higher engine rpm's.

Wastegate operation is controlled by an actuator thatsenses compressor pressure and balances it against apreset spring load. The wastegate valve is located in theturbine inlet passage. When open, it diverts a portion ofthe exhaust gas away from the turbine wheel, therebycontrolling the shaft speed and boost.

Malfunctioning Turbocharger

Failure of the internal components of the turbocharger canreduce its effectiveness and also cause excessive smokeand low power. A bearing failure can produce frictionwhich will slow the speed of the rotor assembly. Failedbearings can also allow the blades of the rotor assemblyto rub the housings, thus reducing the rotor assemblyspeed.

Malfunctioning turbocharger wastegate failure or miscali-bration of the turbocharger wastegate can result in exces-sively high or low boost pressures. Low boost pressurescan cause excessive smoke and low power. High boostpressures can cause major engine damage.

Lubricating Oil Consumption and Leaks

Engine lubricating oil is used to lubricate the bearings andprovide some cooling for the turbocharger. The lubricatingoil supplied to the turbocharger through the supply line isat engine operating pressure. A return line connected tothe bottom of the turbocharger routes the lubricating oilback to the engine lubricating oil pan.

Page 419: 8.3L Cummins Engine SM

24 Valve, 8.3 Liter Engine Air Intake System - General InformationSection 10 - Air Intake System - Group 10 Page 10-3

Rac 7-89460 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Seal rings are used on each end of the rotor assembly.The primary function of the seals is to prevent exhaustgases and compressed air from entering the turbochargerhousing. Lubricating oil leakage from the seals is rare, butit can occur.

NOTE: Excessive crankcase pressure will not allow theoil to drain from the turbocharger. This will load the bear-ing housing and allow lubricating oil to leak past the com-pressor seals and into the engine.

A restricted or damaged lubricating oil return line willcause the turbocharger housing to be pressurized, caus-ing lubricating oil to migrate past the seals.

Additionally, high intake or exhaust restrictions can causea vacuum between the compressor and the turbochargerhousing resulting in oil leaking past the seals.

NOTE: If this occurs, it is necessary to flush the charge aircooler to clean oil from the intake system. Refer to Proce-dures 010-027 and 010-033.

Turbocharger Noise

It is normal for the turbocharger to emit a whine sound thatvaries in intensity depending on engine speed and load.The sound is caused by the very high rotational speed ofthe rotor assembly and the method used to balance therotor assembly during manufacturing. Consequently, thesound will be more audible at full speed.

If possible, operate the engine at full speed to verify thenoise level.

Rac 7-89460 Released 10-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Leaks in the air system intake and/or exhaust componentscan produce excessive engine noise. Leak noise is typi-cally a high pitched whine or sucking sound.

Check for leaks in the intake and exhaust system. Checkto make sure all hose clamps are tight. Refer to Procedure010-024.

Lower pitch sounds or rattles at lower engine speeds canindicate debris in the system or that the rotor assembly istouching the housings.

Remove the turbocharger inlet and check for foreign ob-jects.

If suspect, check for turbocharger blade damage andbearing clearance. Refer to Procedures 010-038, 010-039, and 010-047.

If leaks, blade damage, or improper clearances are found,replace the turbocharger. Refer to Procedure 010-033.

Engines can use a chassis-mounted charge air cooler toimprove engine performance and reduce emissions. Thissystem also uses large diameter piping to transfer the airfrom the engine turbocharger to the CAC, then returns theair from the CAC to the engine intake manifold.

Rac 7-89520 Released 11-98 Printed in U.S.A.

Capscrew Markings and Torque Values

∆ CAUTION ∆When replacing capscrews, always use a capscrew of the same measurement and strength as the cap-screw being replaced. Using the wrong capscrews can result in engine damage.

Metric capscrews and nuts are identified by the grade number stamped on the head of the capscrew or on the sur-face of the nuts. U.S. Customary capscrews are identified by radial lines stamped on the head of the capscrew.

The following examples indicate how capscrews are identified:

NOTES:

Always use the torque values listed in the following tables when specific torque values are not available. Do not use the torque values in place of those specified in other sections of this manual. The torque values in the table are based on the use of lubricated threads. When the ft-lb value is less than 10, convert the ft-lb value to in-lb to obtain a better torque with an in-lb torquewrench. Example: 6 ft-lb equals 72 in-lb.
