   Do you have the Serial number?

   See attached. It's probably a bit late now but there are a number of things that should have been done when it was disassembled that I'm guessing probably weren't. Best of Luck.

   Thanks. I’ve actually just removed head so this info is great. My gasket has 2 notches. Are there 3 different thickness head gaskets. The Cat dealer didn’t ask about how many notches. Thx

   There are three Part Numbers, each one is a dfferent thickness. The one with 2 notches is the standard one. The details of the thickness of each gasket is in the attachment above. Another thing you should note is that the cylinder head bolts are NOT reusable. The attachment mentions that also.

   Is there a way to determine what head gasket to use if you have a basket case. I have a basket case to put together.

   It appears as though you need to measure the position of the piston crowns to determine which gasket to use on a rebuild. Refer to Table 1 in the procedure posted above.

   Yes. I have gotten new head bolts.

   I maybe missing something. All I'm seeing is the turque procedure

    By chance would you know the torque for the rocker arm shaft. Thx
