Hello I have a CAT 223-2454 Tool Group on 3114,3116 & 3126 Engines with Mechanical Unit Injectors (MUI). This tooling set was left to me by my Father and he only used it once but I have no idea what it is for and could anyone help me out with some info.
You dont always need to ream the cups. If you are just replacing the injectors and there was not other problems then you can just clean the cup with a wire bottle brush. Cat did change their instructions at some point to reflect this.
our local CAT dealer has been caught out afew times from this, i was of the assumtion that you cant ream the seats twice and causes dramas down the track, every time we had an injector replaced we would just get the dealer out and fit a new seat, ream it and fit the injector prink of an engine IMO were only getting around 5000hrs out of our 3116 equiped 950F/FII but same application, maintainance and operators we were getting 12,000hrs+ from the 3126 in the 950G's
If the cup is clean with no carbon tracking marks and no pitted or eroded marks where the injector seated then clean it with the wire bottle brush. When we cut them we use 3 shims under the cutter, if that doesn't clean it up, use 2 shims. When you get down to 1 shim the injector may drag the head and then its time for a new cup. In the past we have had customers do all the work except cutting, seating and setting up. They then only pay a couple hours of labor. To get a little more out of a 3116 we always set the fuel spec to the high side of spec, sync it dead on and advanced the timing 1mm. We have also played with the torque screw on the governor but normally isn't needed.
Personally, I don't bother reaming any more. The cups are cheap and not hard to replace so if I find a suspect one, I'll just replace it. The latest instruction has a tool to force the injectors down into the soft metal of the cup to create a good seal. I've been using this method for the past four years or so, and have had zero failures. (so far....)
If you have the still have the tool group, i might be interested in buying it. Contact me on here or at [email protected]
