Oil Gallery Plug

(1) Plug

1. Install the 1U-5470 Engine Pressure Group into oil gallery plug (1) .

Note: Engine oil pressure to the camshaft and main bearings should be checked on each side of the
cylinder block at oil gallery plug (1) .

2. Start the engine. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Refill Capacities and
Recommendations" for the recommendations of engine oil.

Note: Allow the engine to reach operating temperature before you perform the pressure test.

3. Record the value of the engine oil pressure when the engine has reached operating temperature.

The engine oil temperature should not exceed 104 °C (219 °F).

The minimum engine oil pressure at 1200 rpm should be approximately 275 kPa (40 psi). Minimum
engine oil pressure at low idle rpm (400 to 600 rpm) should be approximately 100 kPa (15 psi).

The maximum oil pressure should be no higher than 600 kPa (88 psi) for all rpm ranges.

4. Compare the recorded engine oil pressure with the oil pressure indicators on the instrument panel and
the engine oil pressure that is displayed on the Cat ET.

5. An engine oil pressure indicator that has a defect or an engine oil pressure sensor that has a defect can
give a false indication of a low oil pressure or a high oil pressure. If there is a notable difference
between the engine oil pressure readings make necessary repairs.

7. If you determine that the engine oil pressure is high, refer to "Reason for High Engine Oil Pressure".

Reasons for Low Engine Oil Pressure

NOTICE
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair
of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers
before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Dealer Service

Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Caterpillar products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

 Engine oil level is low. Refer to Step 1.

 Engine oil is contaminated. Refer to Step 2.

 The engine oil bypass valves are open. Refer to Step 3.

 The engine lubrication system is open. Refer to Step 4.

 The oil suction tube has a leak or a restricted inlet screen. Refer to Step 5.

 The engine oil pump is faulty. Refer to Step 6.

 Engine bearings have excessive clearance. Refer to Step 7.

1. Check the engine oil level in the crankcase. The oil level can possibly be too far below the oil pump
supply tube. This will cause the oil pump not to have the ability to supply enough lubrication to the
engine components. If the engine oil level is low add engine oil in order to obtain the correct engine
oil level. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250, "Caterpillar Machine Fluids
Recommendations", "Engine Oil" for the recommendations of engine oil.

2. Engine oil that is contaminated with fuel or coolant will cause low engine oil pressure. High engine oil
level in the crankcase can be an indication of contamination. Determine the reason for contamination
of the engine oil and make the necessary repairs. Replace the engine oil with the approved grade of
engine oil. Also replace the engine oil filter. Refer to Operation and Maintenance Manual, SEBU6250,
"Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations", "Engine Oil" for the recommendations of engine oil.

6 6 01/04/2013
950H Wheel Loader K5K00001-UP (MACHINE) POWERED BY C7 Engine(SEBP3... Page 5 of 6

NOTICE
Caterpillar oil filters are built to Caterpillar specifications. Use of an
oil filter not recommended by Caterpillar could result in severe engine
damage to the engine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larger
waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine lubricating
system. Only use oil filters recommended by Caterpillar.

3. If the engine oil bypass valves are held in the open position, a reduction in the oil pressure can be the
result. This may be due to debris in the engine oil. If the engine oil bypass valves are stuck in the open
position, remove each engine oil bypass valve and clean each bypass valve in order to correct this
problem. You must also clean each bypass valve bore. Install new engine oil filters. For information
on the repair of the engine oil bypass valves, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Filter
Base - Disassemble".

4. An oil line or an oil passage that is open, broken, or disconnected will cause low engine oil pressure.
An open lubrication system could be caused by a piston cooling jet that is missing or damaged.

Note: The piston cooling jets direct engine oil toward the bottom of the piston in order to cool the
piston. This also provides lubrication for the piston pin. Breakage, a restriction, or incorrect
installation of the piston cooling jets will cause seizure of the piston.

5. The inlet screen of the oil suction tube for the engine oil pump can have a restriction. This restriction
will cause cavitation and a loss of engine oil pressure. Check the inlet screen on the oil pickup tube
and remove any material that may be restricting engine oil flow. Low engine oil pressure may also be
the result of the oil pickup tube that is drawing in air. Check the joints of the oil pickup tube for cracks
or a damaged O-ring seal. Remove the engine oil pan in order to gain access to the oil pickup tube and
the oil screen. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pan - Remove and Install" for more
information.

6. Check the following problems that may occur to the engine oil pump.

a. Air leakage in the supply side of the oil pump will also cause cavitation and loss of oil pressure.
Check the supply side of the oil pump and make necessary repairs. For information on the repair
of the engine oil pump, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pump - Remove".

b. Oil pump gears that have too much wear will cause a reduction in oil pressure. Repair the
engine oil pump. For information on the repair of the engine oil pump, refer to Disassembly and
Assembly, "Engine Oil Pump - Remove".

7. Excessive clearance at engine bearings will cause low engine oil pressure. Check the engine
components that have excessive bearing clearance and make the necessary repairs.

Reason for High Engine Oil Pressure

NOTICE
Keep all parts clean from contaminants.

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during

performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair

of the product. Be prepared to collect the fluid with suitable containers
before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.

Refer to Special Publication, NENG2500, "Caterpillar Dealer Service

Tool Catalog" for tools and supplies suitable to collect and contain
fluids on Caterpillar products.

Dispose of all fluids according to local regulations and mandates.

Engine oil pressure will be high if the engine oil bypass valves become stuck in the closed position and the
engine oil flow is restricted. Foreign matter in the engine oil system could be the cause for the restriction of
the oil flow and the movement of the engine oil bypass valves. If the engine oil bypass valves are stuck in
the closed position, remove each bypass valve and clean each bypass valve in order to correct this problem.
You must also clean each bypass valve bore. Install new engine oil filters. New engine oil filters will prevent
more debris from causing this problem. For information on the repair of the engine oil filter bypass valve,
refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Filter Base - Disassemble".

NOTICE
Caterpillar oil filters are built to Caterpillar specifications. Use of an
oil filter not recommended by Caterpillar could result in severe engine
damage to the engine bearings, crankshaft, etc., as a result of the larger
waste particles from unfiltered oil entering the engine lubricating
system. Only use oil filters recommended by Caterpillar.

Engine Valve Lash - Inspect/Adjust

SMCS - 1102-025

To prevent possible injury, do not use the starter to turn the flywheel.

Hot engine components can cause burns. Allow additional time for the
engine to cool before measuring valve clearance.

This engine uses high voltage to control the fuel injectors.

Disconnect electronic fuel injector enable circuit connector to prevent

personal injury.

Do not come in contact with the fuel injector terminals while the engine
is running.

Note: Valve lash is measured between the rocker arm and the bridge for the inlet valves. Valve lash is
measured between the rocker arm and the valve stem for the exhaust valve. All of the clearance
measurements and the adjustments must be made with the engine stopped. The valves must be fully closed.

Valve Lash Check

An adjustment is not necessary if the measurement of the valve lash is in the acceptable range. Adjust the
valve lash while the engine is stopped. The range is specified in Table 1.

2. Adjust the valve lash according to Table 3.

a. Lightly tap the rocker arm at the top of the adjustment screw with a soft mallet. This will ensure
that the lifter roller seats against the camshaft's base circle.

b. Loosen the adjustment locknut.

c. Place the appropriate feeler gauge between rocker arm and the valve bridge. Then, turn the
adjustment screw in a clockwise direction. Slide the feeler gauge between the rocker arm and
the valve bridge. Continue turning the adjustment screw until a slight drag is felt on the feeler
gauge. Remove the feeler gauge.

d. Tighten the adjustment locknut to a torque of 30 ± 7 N·m (22 ± 5 lb ft). Do not allow the
adjustment screw to turn while you are tightening the adjustment locknut. Recheck the valve
lash after tightening the adjustment locknut.

3. Remove the timing bolt and turn the flywheel by 360 degrees in the direction of engine rotation. This
will put the No. 6 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke. Install the timing bolt in
the flywheel.
