General
The maintenance work which is required to be carried out on the engine at regular
intervals is described in the Maintenance Schedule 03801 of this manual and is to
be understood as a general guide. The maintenance intervals are dependent on
the mode of operation, on the power as well as on the quality of the fuel used. Further details are set out in the maintenance schedule.
Experience will show whether the intervals may be extended or need to be shortened.
Strict compliance with the below mentioned recommendations regarding
safety measures and maintenance work is mandatory; the recommendations are not exhaustive.

2.

General safety precautions


D

It is the operators duty to assure that all personnel is familiar with all safety,
health as well as environment protection rules released for operating and
maintaining a diesel engine plant. In particular greatest attention has to be given to the functioning, handling and dangers of cranes and lifting devices.

The safety officer has to make sure that all precautions have been taken in
order to avoid dangerous situations.

The operator has to nominate a person responsible for assigning work tasks
to every person who is participating in maintenance work.

Make sure that fluids or gases draining or escaping cannot cause accidents,
fires or explosions during maintenance work. Keep the engine and the surroundings clean. Cleanliness increases the quality of the work and helps to
prevent accidents.
Before beginning maintenance work on the diesel engine the corresponding
systems which are influenced by the maintenance work must be relieved of
pressure and/or drained if necessary. A protocol must be established evidencing these activities.

Certain media, i.e. fuels etc., are highly inflammable, therefore all precautionary measures have to be taken that they do not come into in contact with fires,
glowing or hot parts. Smoking in the engine room is strictly forbidden.
Special attention has to be paid to the rules of fire fighting.
Make absolutely sure that in case of fire alarm no fire extinguishing gases can
be released into the engine room while people are still inside. Emergency escapes are to be marked and personnel is to be instructed of what to do in case
of fire.

Oils and other media can cause slippery surfaces. In order to avoid injury all
surfaces which can be stepped on must be kept clean and dry.

Attention! Do not use water or any cleaning fluid to clean the WECS electronic
components and control boxes on the engine as well as on the rail unit. Damage
can occur if water goes into these electronic components or control boxes.

Safety Measures and Warnings

3.

Precautionary measures before beginning of maintenance work


Before starting any maintenance work on the engine (particularly on the running
gear), take the following precautionary measures:
Close the shut-off valves on the starting air bottles.
Close all the shut-off valves in the control air supply unit, and open the drains
on both air bottles until it is depressurized.
Close by hand the (automatic) shut-off valve for starting air and open the vent
and drain valve to the main starting air piping on the engine as well as the vent
valves on the shut-off valve for starting air, and leave them in this position until
maintenance work is completed.
Open all indicator cocks on the cylinder covers and leave them in this position
until maintenance work is completed.
Engage turning gear (gear pinion must be in engaged position) and lock the
lever (see also 32061 and 07501 in the Operating Manual).
D

Where the engine has been stopped due to overheated running gear or
bearings, wait at least 20 minutes before opening the crankcase doors.

The crankcase doors must always be locked with all the clamps whenever the engine is running, even if this is only for a short time in order to
make temperature checks (e.g. after changing bearings during an overhaul,
etc.).

In the case of a fire in the engine having been extinguished by means of CO2,
the spaces affected must be well ventilated before work can be carried out
within them.

Attention! When performing electric welding near or on the engine, electromagnetic fields or peak voltage may occur, which may damage the electronic components of the WECS (Wrtsil Engine Control System).
Therefore, prior to performing electric welding in the vicinity of the mentioned components, the following precautions must be taken:

2008
8

Stop the engine if it is in operation.

Power off the electronic system and wait one minute.

If the welding point is within a radius of two metres from an electronic module
and/or a sensor, disconnect the modules and/or sensors.

Close the covers of all electric boxes and protect cables, sensors, etc. against
sparking and heat.

Shield the check and control units with a conductive material and connect
them to earth.

Run the welding cable from the welding apparatus directly to the welding point
without any unnecessary loops; also, avoid leading the welding cable parallel
to cables of the electronic control unit.

Special safety measures


D

Prior to turning the crankshaft with the turning gear, make sure and take notice:

that no person is inside the engine and no loose parts, tools or devices
can get jammed.

bear in mind that the coupled propeller turns too (danger in surroundings).

that lubricating device 94844 has been installed to prevent bearing


bushes of the servo oil pump drive in the supply unit from being damaged
(dry running) due to turning the engine during overhaul works.

Prior to turning the crankshaft with the turning gear, make sure that no person
is inside the engine and no loose parts, tools or devices can get jammed. Also
bear in mind that the coupled propeller turns too (danger in surroundings).

At all times when somebody is inside the engine casing another person must
stand by in order that he can give the necessary aid if something unexpected
happens to the person inside the engine. The person who is inside the engine
casing must be equipped with all safety gears which are required to prevent
suffocation within the limited space and atmospheric conditions. Moreover an
antifall guard must be carried at dangerous places!

The allowed load capacity of the engine room crane, the lifting tools, ropes
and chains must be sufficient for the parts to be lifted (see 00121 and
03601).
Pay also attention to the weight distribution and attachment of the lifting tackle
in order that the part which must be lifted cannot tip over or crash down!

Sharp edges, mating faces etc. as well as ropes are to be protected by wooden pieces, leather or special edge guards which are placed between the part
and the rope or chain.

Always use gloves, a face shield and wear safety goggles when working with
hydraulic tools.

For your own safety keep away from under hanging loads, never undersling
hanging parts with your fingers or hands and never embrace lifting ropes with
your hands.

Removed parts must be secured in the engine room.

For reasons of safety, openings resulting from removed engine components


must be closed!

Remark: For further instructions see also Safety Precautions and Warnings (General Information) 02101 in the Operating Manual.

Recommendations for performing work


D

Pay attention to Utilization of Working Platform and Ladder 33011.

Carry out all work carefully, observing utmost cleanliness!

For maintenance work on the engine use the tools and devices intended for
the particular job, which, as a rule, are supplied with the engine (see tool list at
the end of this manual).

Tools and devices must be made ready prior to use, make sure they are in
perfect condition.
Calibrate gauge tools before using and at periodical intervals.
Check hydraulic tools periodically for tightness and perfect functioning.
Protect running faces and sealing faces of removed parts by suitable means
to prevent damages.
Close all openings which form when certain parts are removed e.g. pipes, oil
holes etc. to prevent dirt from entering the engine. (This includes also the
pipes which are removed).
Check all repaired, overhauled or replaced parts for perfect functioning before
starting the engine.
Check all pipes which have been removed, for tightness after they are refitted.
Clearances of moving parts must be checked periodically. Should the maximum permissible values (see Clearance Table 03301) have been reached or
even exceeded, these parts must be replaced.
Arrange to replace all parts taken from spares stock. When ordering new
parts refer to the Code Book, mention code numbers and description.

2008

When tightening studs, nuts or screws, take the utmost care not to damage
their thread. They must be screwed in by hand until metal to metal contact is
achieved. Always use the specified lubricants on the threads.

Adhere to tightening values wherever they are indicated. Use the specified
lubricant on the threads (see 03521 and 03522).

Locking devices of bolts, nuts, etc. must be fitted correctly and secured properly. Use locking plates and locking wires only once.

For threads of screws and studs which are getting very hot, (i.e. exhaust pipe
or turbocharger fastenings) apply a high temperature resistant lubricant before assembly, to prevent a heat seizure.

Used rubber rings must always be replaced by new ones when an overhaul of
any engine component takes place; they must conform in dimension and
quality to the specifications in the 03701.
The fitting of piston seal rings and rod seal rings requires the greatest of care
to prevent damage, over expansion or deformation. Before fitting the rings
heat them first in boiling water.

General Guidelines for Lifting Tools


Wire Rope Slings, Span-sets, Eye Bolts, etc.

1.

General
The permissible capacities of the engine crane, lifting tools, ropes, chains, lifting
eye bolts, etc. must always correspond with the weights of the parts to be lifted
(see also Masses (Weights) 03601).
Remark: The admissible lifting (max. loading) capacity in kg corresponds to the
WLL = Working Load Limit.
For fitting and removal of engine components or their transportation, only the tools
which are in perfect condition and intended for this purpose may be used. Ropes
which have begun tearing or otherwise are defective and tools which are damaged
have to be exchanged.
For safe and proper handling of crane, suspension tools or transport of loads we
recommend to proceed as follows for safety reasons:
D

Determination of the weight of load

Determination of the suspension centres and weight distribution

Choice of attachment elements

Attaching and disconnecting

2.

Attachment elements

2.1

Wire rope slings


The lifting capacity of the wire rope slings is listed under their tool number in Tools
List 94035.

2.2

Span-sets
Span-sets have the advantage of easy and simple handling. The code and the
colour normally indicate the maximum admissible total load. Loops and knots in
the span-sets reduce their lifting capacity by one third.

2.3

Eye bolts and eye nuts


Only those eye bolts and eye nuts may be used which are in accordance with DIN
580 & 582:200308 or which fulfil or exceed these values, including the safety
factor.
All calculations for components and tools where eye bolts and eye nuts are used
are laid out accordingly and based on the mentioned standards.

Remarks: The details listed in the table above are based on DIN 580 &
582:200308, requiring that the eye bolt or the eye nut:

2.4

is completely turned in or screwed down;

lies flat and fully on the seating surface;

was checked for visible damages (e.g. corrosion, deformation) before using it.

1) Full load is only permissible in the direction of the ring, therefore the
eye bolts or eye nuts must be brought to the right position, if necessary by using distance rings.

If there are through holes, a washer should be placed from the opposite side
under the nut or screw head.

Whenever possible, do not apply an angle of inclination bigger than 45 (in all
directions with regard to the ring level), and especially avoid lateral pulling!

For varying use on different objects to be carried, eye nuts or eye bolts with
thread diameters one size higher should be used.

RUD-eye bolts and RUD-swivel lugs


Only those RUD-eye bolts & RUD-swivel lugs may be used with a safety factor 4.

Shackles
Only those shackles may be used which are in accordance with American Standard RRC271A or which fulfil or exceed these values, including the safety factor.
All calculations for components and tools where shackles are used are laid out accordingly and based on the mentioned standards.
Normally, the permissible lifting capacity of the shackles is specified for one single
strand.

Attention! If tools are combined (e.g. beams with shackles, RUD-eye bolts or
RUD-swivel lugs and ropes, etc.), it is always the weakest element which determines the maximum lifting capacity (see details in Tools List 94035).

3.

Attaching and disconnecting


The following must be observed:
D

Distribution of load:

one strand carries the total of load weight

two strands carry each one half of the load weight

four strands carry each one quarter of the load weight if the load is distributed equally.

Angle of strand:

the flatter the strand angle, the more the strand is stressed

the more acute the strand angle is, the less the strand is stressed.

Place a soft-wood board between rope and engine component, because the
ropes tend to slide on smooth surfaces (e.g. tubes, shafts).

Protect the ropes against damages by providing a wooden pallet or a rag.


Sharp edges may even cut steel cables!

If possible always tie down the load. (danger of fall)

Wrapping the rope twice increases friction and adhesion in such a manner
that even a smooth, oily shaft is sliding less.

Hemp rope strands, wrapped around the hook, prevent sliding. Do not wrap
steel cables, but cross them instead.

Danger of injuries! For your own safety never stand beneath loads!
Hold the ropes in the flat of your hands and keep your fingers stretched out. Never
seize the load at the bottom, but always lead it laterally. Always put down the loads
on a perfect ground, and use sufficiently sized bases.

General
The clearances listed in the column Nominal dimension of the following table correspond to design and manufacturing values or to the settings on the new engine.
The values listed in the column Maximum clearance, dimension are such values
as may be reached after a lengthy operating period, which however may not be
allowed to be exceeded or fall below. On components where the clearance is adjustable by modifying the thickness of shims, discs, spacers etc. the value given as
Normal Clearance should always be arrived at, or striven to attain. Where this is
not possible, worn parts must be replaced by standard new ones or reconditioned
by suitable material buildup.
If, during an overhaul, clearances are measured which have almost reached the
permissible limit, it must be left to individual judgement to decide whether a component part should be replaced or remain fitted till the next overhaul. This depends for
example on the duration of the next operation period till the next overhaul and what
wear has to be expected based on experience gained.

It is recommended to lubricate the threads for screws which come into contact with
hot parts like exhaust pipings, expansion pieces, etc. with a heat-resisting lubricant, e.g. THREAD GARD or Never-Seez NSBT-8, etc.
Attention! These tightening instructions are valid only if:

Waisted studs
Waisted studs must be tightened according to the values in the following diagram.
D

Before fitting a waisted stud clean its thread and corresponding tap hole. The
sealing faces must be degreased (e.g. using white spirit) and subsequently
primed.

Screw in the waisted stud without lubricant on the thread right to the bottom of
the tap hole, and tighten. Always utilize a stud driver or two nuts.

Tools like a pipe wrench etc. which would damage the stud shank must never be
used.
D

For the protection of the waisted stud in the cylinder jacket and cylinder cover,
fill the annular space above the thread with a non-hardening jointing compound (see 27511).

Checking the pre-tension


Clean the threads of the foundation bolts and the seating surfaces. Subsequently apply MOLYKOTE G paste to the threads.
Place pre-tensioning jack 94145 on foundation bolt 8 or fitted stud 9 to be
checked, and screw it completely down with vent screw 2 open until there is
only little or no clearance at x (Fig. D).
Connect the pre-tensioning jack with HP oil pump 94931 as shown in Fig. D,
whereby one side of hydr. distributor 94934a must be closed with plug piece
94934e.
Shut relief valve EV at the HP oil pump. Actuate HP oil pump till oil flows
bubble-free at vent screw 2.
Close vent screw 2, tension the foundation bolt with 1000 bar and keep pressure constant.
D
CHECK

Attention should be paid to ensure that pin 1 always protrudes slightly


compared with piston 4 on the pre-tensioning jack!

Check with feeler gauge through slot KO if there is any clearance between nut 6
and its seating.
If there is no clearance, this means that the tightening condition of the foundation bolt has remained unchanged since the last check. The pressure can be
released to zero with relief valve EV and the pre-tensioning jack removed.
Should a clearance be found, nut 6 must be tightened down onto its seating
with round bar RS while the pressure is kept at 1000 bar (check with feeler
gauge). Subsequently lower the pressure to zero.

Main Bearing: Loosening and Tensioning of Waisted Studs

3.

Tensioning the waisted studs


Fit the main bearing cover as described in 11322.
Tighten nuts 3 with round bar RS till firmly seated and mark these against the
bearing cover = 1st step (Fig. A).
Determine with depth gauge 94126 distances a1 and a2. The difference between
the two values must not be greater than 0.3 mm. If necessary adjust the bearing
cover correspondingly by loosening and tensioning nuts 3 (Fig. C).

CHECK

Place both double pre-tensioning jacks 94114 onto waisted studs 1 for the
main bearing as described under section 2 (Fig. C).
Connect both double pre-tensioning jacks by HP hoses 94935 and 94935a,
hydr. distributor 94934a and pressure gauge 94932a with hydraulic unit
94942 (arrangement see Fig. C).
Open vent screw 11.
Screw on round nuts 4 of the double pre-tensioning jacks till piston 5 fully seat
on cylinders 6 (Fig. B).
The pistons are fully down on the cylinders when distance L1 is about 13 mm,
measured from the top of the piston to the upper edge of cover 7.
Check the oil level in hydraulic unit 94942.

CHECK

Close vent screw.

1ST STEP

Actuate the hydraulic unit, adjust the


pressure to 1000 bar (2nd step) and
keep it constant.

2ND STEP

Tighten all nuts 3 with round bar RS


till firmly seated.
CHECK
130 _

x

CHECK

98.7672

Using feeler gauge 94122 inserted in slot


KO, check if there is no clearance at
hand between the nuts and the seating
surfaces.
Release pressure to zero at the hydraulic unit and then remove both
double pre-tensioning jacks.

TIGHTENING
ANGLE
Check if all the nuts have been turned by about the same value, i.e. the tightening angle should be 130_ between the 1st and 2nd step (Fig. A). If bigger
differences occur the tensioning procedure must be repeated.
Finally check the horizontal and vertical clearances by means of special feeler
gauge 94123 (see Clearance Table 03301 Crankshaft and main bearing).
Recheck distances a1 and a2. If the difference exceed 0.3 mm, loosen the waisted
studs, adjust the bearing cover correspondingly and repeat the tensioning procedure.
Remark: All main bearing clearance values are valid only with tightened tie rods
and waisted studs.

The same lifting tackles are used for the removal of the corresponding bearing
shells as for the removal of the corresponding bearing covers.

For the removal of bearing shells No. 1 and 2 the flywheel must also be
pressed up with the additional hydraulic jack 19. To protect the flywheel toothing, put a copper or aluminium plate between the hydraulic jack and the flywheel (Fig. Z).

Lifting the crankshaft

Using hydraulic jacks 94936 and lift crankshaft at


bearing to be removed by value x = 0.4 0.5 mm.
Attention! Lift the crankshaft max. to the point where the
neighbouring main bearings show vertically no clearance
any more between main bearing cover and crankshaft.

In case the bearing shell cannot be turned out, both


of the adjoining bearing covers have also to be loosened. Thus the crankshaft can be correspondingly
lifted somewhat farther (approx. 0.8 mm) and the
bearing shell taken out.

Prior to fitting a new bearing shell or bearing cover pay attention to the Arrangement and characteristics of the main bearings on page 2, and to the upset down test 11323.

Remark: All bearing shells are marked with their proper code numbers (see table
on page 2). In addition bearing shells and bearing covers are laterally marked with
DRIVING END. Therefore, they must be fitted correspondingly.
Attention! Always fit bearing shells No. 1 and 2 in direction of arrow as shown in
Fig. D1.
Furthermore refer to Service Bulletin RT141.
D

Step of key 6 must faces inwards as shown in Fig. C1.

Bearing shell and bearing cover should be fitted into the bearing girder in their
original positions.

Oil bore OB in the bearing girder must be clean and without particles of white
metal.

Crankshaft journal, girder bore for main bearing and all parts to be fitted must
be clean and undamaged!

The fitting of bearing shell and bearing cover is carried out analogously but in reverse sequence to the removal.
Directly before fitting (turning in) bearing shell 3 apply a very thin layer of
MOLYKOTE paste G to the back of it.
The crankshaft journal and the running surface of the main bearing shell must
be thoroughly lubricated with clean engine oil.

CHECK

Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd

Remove all the tools from the engine and


below of the flywheel.

The bearing clearances and the crank deflection must be measured after a new
bearing shell has been fitted and the bearing cover has been tightened (see
03301 and 31031).
After assembly, check if lubricating oil is supplied to the main bearing with the oil
pump in operation!

Lifting the crankshaft

Using hydraulic jacks 94936 and lift crankshaft at


bearing to be removed by value x = 0.4 0.5 mm.
Attention! Lift the crankshaft max. to the point where the
neighbouring main bearings show vertically no clearance
any more between main bearing cover and crankshaft.

In case the bearing shell cannot be turned out, both


of the adjoining bearing covers have also to be loosened. Thus the crankshaft can be correspondingly
lifted somewhat farther (approx. 0.8 mm) and the
bearing shell taken out.

General
The main bearing upside-down test is best carried out on all main bearings before
fitting them in the engine.
If a conical shell is fitted in main bearing No. 2 , with a non-matching cover (conical
or standard, new or used), then an upside-down test must be carried out before
fitting (see also 11322, Characteristics of main bearings).

2.

Upside-down test set-up


Place the bearing cover 2 upside-down and fit the bearing shell 3 on top of the inverted cover. Check that both keys 1 have inside contact to the cover as follows:
Put engineers blue on the inner key surface.
Put the cover in an upside-down position and lower the shell down onto the
cover.
Lift off the shell and verify that the keys have inside-contact.
The edges of the bearing shell 3 and bearing 2 cover should be parallel across the
length of the bearing.

Pass conditions for the main bearing upside-down test


The main bearing passes the upside-down test if the conditions 1a and either 2a or
2b are met:
1a The outer surface of the cover protrudes beyond the outer surface of the bearing shell. The protrusion X should be less than 0.50 mm.
2a If the running surface of the bearing shell protrudes beyond the cover: dimension Z should be max 0.20 mm, except on main bearing No. 1 which should
be max 0.30 mm.
2b If instead the cover protrudes beyond the running surface of the bearing shell,
then by max 0.05 mm, otherwise the white metal of the cover has to be
scraped by hand, as long as the maximum scrape depth is less than 0.30 mm
(see Fig. C).
Remark: If the pass conditions are not met, then Wrtsil can provide advice as
to what action should be taken.

2.3

Scraping the main bearing cover


A slight protrusion of the main bearing cover beyond the shell can be corrected by
scraping the bearing cover.
The cover should only be scraped if the maximum scrape depth is less than
0.30 mm.
Rig up the cover as shown in Fig.C.
Scrape the cover using a run-out length of maximum scrape-depth x 500 mm,
e.g. 0.3 x 500 = 150 mm.
Scrape until dimension Z (Fig. B) is within the allowed range.

If the outside diameter is not within the limits in the above table, then correct
the outside diameter by fitting offset keys. If offset key is oversized, then machine it to the correct size.

It is better for the outside diameter to be between 1080.55 mm and 1080.68

Measuring method 1
The total displacement which results from pushing the crankshaft axially both
ways until it contacts the thrust bearing pads AHEAD and ASTERN, is measured
with a dial gauge. This is then checked against the figure marked on the sheet
Check Dimensions in the engine documents supplied (see also Clearance Table
03301 Crankshaft and main bearing).
An increase compared with the nominal figure signifies wear of the thrust bearing
pads.

2.

Measuring method 2
Displace the crankshaft axially until it rests on the engine side thrust bearing
pads (AHEAD) and then fix it in this position.
Measure the distance between the coupling flange and the upper part of the
oil baffle with the inside micrometer 94101 at the position indicated (see Fig.
C). The amount by which distance X is smaller than that given on the sheet
Check Dimensions corresponds to the wear of the engine side thrust bearing
pads (AHEAD).
Displace the crankshaft axially until it rests on the thrust bearing pads for
ASTERN. Determine the total axial clearance with the inside micrometer.
Remark: After major works have been carried out in the thrust bearing space dismantle cover 8 for a check-up on the thrust bearing housing. Remove any foreign
matters through the opening.

In addition, to ensure a better access for the removal of thrust bearing pads 2
(ASTERN), the upper part of oil baffle 7 (Fig. B and D) is also to be removed.
Remove temperature sensors 8 from their bores (page 5) on 812 cylinder
engines.
Insert and laterally fasten turning-out device 94155 or 94155a or 94155b respectively to the gear wheel or the thrust bearing flange as illustrated on Fig.
B or D.
The crankshaft is then to be turned with the turning gear until an eye bolt M16
can be screwed into a pad which can then be lifted up and removed one by
one.
Remark: When only a few thrust bearing pads of a row are to be removed the
crankshaft is located in its axial position by the remaining pads. When all thrust
bearing pads must be removed then the crankshaft must be prevented from sliding
axially. Therefore, insert a piece of hardwood of the same thickness in place of the
thrust bearing pad.

Fitting

CHECK

Make absolutely sure that all the thrust bearing pads are meticulously clean
and smeared with fresh engine oil; the thrust bearing pads must all be replaced in their original position. Note also numbering of the individual pads!

For fitting the thrust bearing pads tool 94155 or 94155a or 94155b respectively can also be utilized. Note in this respect that the first pad, when pushed in,
rests against the tool. The following thrust bearing pads can then be fitted one
after the other while simultaneously turning the crankshaft. The thrust bearing
pads should slide in without effort to their end position.

With all the thrust bearing pads in position, the distances from the outermost pads
on fuel side and exhaust side to the upper edge of the bedplate must be equal to be
able refitting holders 4. Subsequently check the clearance between holder and
thrust bearing pads 2 and 2a (see Clearance Table 03301 Crankshaft and thrust
bearing).
D

Prior to fitting screws 5 clean threads, tap holes and coat screw threads with
LOCTITE No. 222.

Attention! After fitting the thrust bearing pads immediately remove tool 94155 or
94155a or 94155b respectively.
Remark: When fitting new or remetalled thrust bearing pads, care must be taken
that their thickness (final dimension) corresponds exactly with the neighbouring
pads.
When replacing a complete row of new or remetalled thrust bearing pads the clearance must be adjusted to the original values (see Clearance Table 03301 Crankshaft and thrust bearing and 12031).

Engine Stays with Friction Shims: Checking the Pre-tension

2.

Checking the pre-tension


Clean the screw thread and the seating surface. Subsequently apply MOLYKOTE G paste to the thread.
Place pre-tensioning jack 94145 on the screw to be checked, and screw it
completely down with vent screw 6 open until there is only little or no clearance
at x (Fig. B).
Connect pre-tensioning jack 94145 with HP oil pump 94931 as shown in Fig.
B, whereby one side of hydr. distributor 94934a must be closed with plug
piece 94934e.
Close relief valve EV at the HP oil pump, then actuate the HP oil pump until
the oil comes out without bubbles from opened vent screw 6.
Close vent screw 6, tension the screw with 200 bar and keep the pressure
constant.
CHECK

Check with feeler gauge through slot KO if there is any clearance between nut 4
and its seating.
If there is no clearance, this means that the tensioning condition of the screw
has remained unchanged since the last check. The pressure can be released
to zero and the pre-tensioning jack removed.
Should a clearance be found, nut 6 must be tightened down onto its seating
with round bar RS while the pressure is kept at 200 bar (check with feeler
gauge). Subsequently lower the pressure to zero.

General
Two hydraulic type stays 1 are installed each on the exhaust side and fuel side of
the engine.
CHECK

The oil pressures on the pressure gauges of the hydraulic cylinders must be
checked and compared with each other at regular intervals.
If one of the hydraulic cylinders shows a pressure below 30 bar, which could be
caused by defective O-rings, leaking valves or screwed connections, the opposite
hydraulic cylinder must also be released of its pressure till 30 bar.
The defective engine stays must be repaired at the first opportunity. Afterwards the
oil pressure must be readjusted to the required value on all the engine stays,
whereby the detailed instructions of the respective maker must be considered.

General
We recommend that about one year after commissioning the engine all tie rods are
checked for their correct pre-tensioning and if necessary to tension them to the
specified value. Later it is sufficient to make random checks during major overhauls, or the pre-tension of all tie rods has to be checked within four years.
Remark: For such checks it is not required to loosen the waisted studs of the main
bearings nor the clamp screws 11 (Fig. D).
Pay attention to General Application Instructions 94034 for hydraulic pre-tensioning jacks.

2.

Checking the pre-tension of tie rods


Remove protection cover 9 from all tie rods and clean the contact face of upper intermediate ring 2.
Place both pre-tensioning jacks 94180 onto two tie rods lying opposite each
other.
Turn the pre-tensioning jacks so that the holes in tie rod nuts 3 are accessible.
Open vent screws 7 (Fig. A).
Tighten the round nuts 6 until there is only little or no clearance at x.
Connect both pre-tensioning jacks with hydraulic unit 94942 according to Fig.
A.
Actuate the hydraulic unit until bubble-free oil flows out through the vent
screws.
Remark: Hydraulic oil flowing out can be drained into a container by means of
hoses which are put over the vent screws.
Close the vent screws, operate the hydraulic unit up to 1000 bar and maintain
the pressure constant.
Never move the piston 5 of the pre-tensioning jack further up than to the red limiting groove BN (Fig. A).

PRE-TENSIONING JACK
PLACED FOR LOOSENING

Using the feeler gauge 94122 inserted through slot KO, on the measuring place
MS, check whether tie rod nut 3 rests on intermediate ring 2 without any clearance.
If any clearance exists, tighten the tie rod nut with round bar RS until it rests
firmly on the intermediate ring (check with feeler gauge). Subsequently release the pressure to 0 bar at the hydraulic unit. If no clearance exists, the
pressure can immediately be released and the pre-tensioning jacks removed.
Check all the tie rods in this manner and, wherever necessary, tighten the tie
rod nut.
Protect the tie rod threads against corrosion by coating them with non-acidic
grease after the checking has been completed. Fit and fasten the protection
cover 9 (Fig D).
Remark: If the tie rod nut 3 is blocked/seized, it may be attempted to press in oil or
solvent through the bore 10 (G x 4 mm) with the pre-tensioning jacks placed
and pressurized so that the tie rods are lifted. At the same time insert a brass or
copper bar into a hole in the tie rod nut through the slotted aperture of cylinder 4
and first loosen, then tighten the nut with several heavy hammer blows. Make sure,
however, that the edge of the hole is not seriously deformed or it will be impossible
to remove the pre-tensioning jack. Seal off the bore 10.

Checking the Pre-tension and Tensioning the Tie Rods

3.

Loosening and tensioning the tie rods


Should the tie rods have to be removed or fitted, the following principles have to be
observed:
Remove clamp screws 11 (Fig. D).
D

Tensioning has to be carried out in one procedure. The sequence is shown in


Fig. B, i.e. in pairs, first tie rods a/a, then b/b, etc.

Never move piston 5 of the pre-tensioning jack further up than to the red limiting
groove BN (Fig. A).
D
3.1

If the tie rods have been newly tightened, then the waisted studs of the main
bearings also have to be checked for correct pre-tensioning (see 11321).

Loosening
The procedure for loosening the tie rods is the same as the one described in section 2 Checking the pre-tension, except that round nuts 6 must be turned back by
four turns after being completely screwed down the pre-tensioning jacks (gap SA
in Fig. A). At this starting point connect the jacks with hydraulic unit 94942 and
operate it until a pressure of approx. 1030 bar is reached.
Turn the tie rod nuts 3 up until they fully seat on the pistons of the pre-tensioning jacks and then screw back them by four turns with round bar RS.
Release the pressure to 0 bar and remove the pre-tensioning jacks.

3.2

Tensioning
Preliminary works:
D

Clamp screws 11 must not be tightened up.

The lower tie rod nut 16 is screwed on.

Clean the seating surface for upper intermediate ring 2 and upper tie rod nut 3
and smear them with MOLYKOTE G paste.
Smear the tie rod thread for upper tie rod nut 3 lavishly with MOLYKOTE G
paste and screw the nut on (check for easy threading).
Screw the eye bolt into the tie rod and lift carefully until the lower tie rod nut
rests snugly against the bearing girder.
Risk of accident! Use a manual ratchet hooked onto the crane, with which the tie
rod can be lifted manually until the lower nut is snug on its seating, as with the crane
alone the landing of the nut cannot easily be felt and the rope might break.
In this position tighten the upper tie rod nut with round bar RS until firmly
seated on the intermediate ring, and separate the manual ratchet from the tie
rod.
CHECK

There must now be no clearance between bearing girder and lower tie rod nut and
the lower tie rod nut must be flush with the tie rod end (Fig. D).
Place pre-tensioning jacks 94180 onto the tie rods a/a.
Turn the pre-tensioning jacks so that the holes in tie rod nuts 3 are accessible.
Tighten round nuts 6 until there is only little or no clearance at x (Fig. A).

Tie Rod
Checking the Pre-tension and Tensioning the Tie Rods
Tensioning in one procedure:
Connect the pre-tensioning jacks with the hydraulic unit 94942 (see Fig. A).
Actuate the hydraulic unit until bubble-free oil flows out through the vent
screws 7. Close the vent screws.
Raise the pressure to 100 bar, keep it constant and firmly tighten the two upper tie rod nuts 3 with the round bar RS.
Measure and record the distance L (the measurements can be taken directly
on the mounted pre-tensioning jacks, i.e. from the top edge of the tie rod 8 to
the cylinder 4).
Subsequently tension the tie rods with 1000 bar, keep it constant and firmly
tighten the two upper tie rod nuts 3 with the round bar RS.
Never move pistons 5 of the pre-tensioning jacks further up than to the red limiting
grooves BN (Fig. A).
Measure again the distance L and record it as L1.
The tie rods are correctly tensioned with 1000 bar when the following reference
value of a total elongation L (L1L) is measured:
L = 15.5 ... 17.5 mm
Release the pressure to 0 bar.
Proceed in the same way by following the required sequence for all tie rods
b/b, c/c, d/d ect.
After completing the tensioning, smear the protruding thread portions of all the
tie rods lavishly with an acid-free grease and fit the protection cover 9 (Fig D).

The cylinder liner wear is to be determined after every piston removal with the cylinder liner
in situ.

000.786/99

To permit comparisons with previous measures always carry out measuring in the same
place and note down the values in a log.
Always use the properly adjusted measuring
gauge 94225.

CHECK

Check setting screw ST. Its lower protruding length must correspond to the
mean thickness of the built-in compression shims. This ensures that the topmost
measuring point is located between the top
ring wear ridge and the antipolishing ring.
The unrun position must be thoroughly
cleaned from any deposits or lacquer before
measurement.

Hook the measuring gauge over the top face


of the cylinder liner.
The measurements have to be taken in longitudinal and transversal directions to the engine axis by putting the inside micrometer
94101 into the holes provided in the measuring gauge.

94101

CHECK

For maximum permissible inside diameter refer to Clearance Table 03301 Cylinder liner.

The ridge at the top of the cylinder bore has to


be removed carefully without damaging the
running surface for the piston rings (see
21243).
Remove the lower part of the measuring
gauge 94225 for measuring the cylinder liner
with piston in situ. Turn piston to B.D.C.

General
Due to wear in the cylinder liner a ridge is formed on top to where the piston rings do
not reach. By that also the lubricating grooves in the cylinder liner lose their depth,
and the corner radii of the scavenge port edges become smaller.
After every piston removal measure the bore of the cylinder liner (see 21241) and
remedy any irregularities. For that the following points are of importance:

2.

Protect the space below the cylinder liner from falling particles.

After completing the reconditioning clean the bore of the cylinder liner thoroughly (particularly the lubricating grooves).

Remove waste particles which may have passed into the scavenge space
through the ports.

Actuate the cylinder lubrication until oil flows from all the lubricating points,
thereby flushing away any metal dust.

Removing the wear ridge


When grinding away the wear ridge take greatest care not to damage the running
surface. The machining of the wear ridge has to be carried out as shown in Fig. B.
Therefore, always use wear ridge grinding device 94299 for carrying out this work.

3.

Re-dressing the lubricating grooves


If the depth of the lubricating grooves has worn to less than 1.5 mm re-dress them
to their original depth and slightly round their edges with an oil stone.
Remark: For collection / pressure reducing grooves SN1 there are two possible
groove-machining options according to section II-II in Fig. A.

4.

Re-dressing the edges on the scavenge ports


The shape of the scavenge ports shown in Fig. A corresponds to new cylinder liners. When reconditioning (depending on the degree of wear or damage) aim at
matching these shapes. Take care not to damage the running surface in the cylinder liner bore! Polish (round) the passages into the running surface with emery
cloth.

Actuate the cylinder lubricating pump until oil emerges from all the lubricating
points in the bore of the corresponding cylinder liner. Note that on cylinder liners
with two rows of lubricating grooves (Multi-Level Lubrication) the oil delivery for
upper and lower row of lubricating grooves may be differently set (correct setting is
recorded on the acceptance records). Whatever the settings, make sure that on all
the lubricating points of the same row of lubricating grooves the oil outflow quantity
is equal.

1.2

Check of accumulator
During a major overhaul check at random several accumulators or if there are oil
leakages through bores LB (Fig. A), open the relevant accumulators. Check the
condition of the diaphragms and defective or brittle ones must be replaced. Do not
use any sharp-edged objects for fitting new diaphragms!

1.3

Check of non-return valve


The non-return valve must also be checked for correct functioning. Therefore, the
complete lubricating quill and accumulator must be removed.
CHECK

If compressed air is blown into X no air must emerge from Y.


If compressed air is blown into Y air must emerge from X.

Removing and fitting


If a non-return valve has to be replaced, remove backing screw 8 together with
filling pin 13.
After fitting the new part tighten the backing screw with 50 Nm and lock it with a
centre punch.
Before removing a cylinder liner 10, the passages for lubricating quills 12 and
protecting bushes 21 must be first disconnected.
Attention! The flange 19 must never be removed before the cylinder cooling water
has been drained.
D

If only the passage for lubricating quill 12 has to be removed, with cylinder liner fitted, then the protecting bush may remain in place.

When refitting the passage for lubricating quill take care that sealing surface
DF between cylinder liner and passage for lubricating quill is absolutely
clean. Sealing surface DF must seal metallically and the use of gaskets is
prohibited!

Remark: The design of the lubricating quills for the upper and the lower row of lubricating grooves is the same.
Non-return valves are only supplied complete with filling pin as replacement parts.

General
The removal of the piston rod gland (hereafter called gland) can be carried out in
two different ways, i.e. removing the gland together with the piston (variant 1) or
removing the gland downwards into the crankcase leaving the piston in situ and
using the dismantling device 94344 (variant 2).
On every piston overhaul, the gland must also be dismantled and inspected. Excessively worn or damaged parts are to be replaced.
It is important that the gland be in perfect condition when assembled. A possible
earlier than planned inspection of the gland with a piston in situ can only be carried
out under difficult conditions and with the help of the dismantling device 94344.

Fitting of cylinder cover


Before placing the cylinder cover in position the following points must be taken
care of:
D

The compression space must be absolutely free of foreign particles or dirt.

The seating surfaces on cylinder cover and cylinder liner must be clean and
undamaged.

A new soft iron joint ring 2 mm thick must be placed on the cylinder liner in such
a way that it lies flat all over.

The inner surface of water guide jacket 9 which is screw fastened to the cylinder cover as well as the respective guide surface at the collar of the cylinder
liner must be clean and smeared with bearing oil.

Place new O-rings into the grooves of the cylinder liner and smear these with
bearing oil.

The threads of the cylinder cover studs, nuts and their seating surfaces must
be clean and smeared with Never-Seez NSBT-8.

Place three protection caps 94265b on cylinder cover waisted studs (see Fig.
C and E).

When these conditions are all met, lower the cylinder cover, attached to suspension device 94265 or 94265c, slowly over the cylinder cover studs, whereby a centring pin assures the correct position (see 21242).
Screw all nuts by hand onto the cylinder cover studs, paying attention to easy
turning.
Pre-tension the studs with hydraulic pre-tensioning device 94215 in accordance with 27082.
Reconnect all connections to cylinder cover and exhaust valve.
Finally shut drain and vent cock, and reopen the cocks for cooling water inlet
and outlet.

in emplacement RO while not in use (see Fig. B).
Release pressure to zero.
Disconnect and remove HP hoses 94935a from both device halves.
Unscrew round nuts 5 and remove them together with the pre-tensioning
jacks.

4.

Tensioning
Smear threads of cylinder cover studs 1, nuts 2 and their seating surfaces with
Never-Seez NSBT-8.
CHECK

Tighten all nuts down with round bar RS till fully seated (check with feeler gauge).
Mark position of all nuts, with a line on nuts and cylinder cover, with a felt-tip
pen (this will serve for a later check).
Set-up of the pre-tensioning jacks as mentioned already. Open vent screws 3
of the pre-tensioning jacks.
Start up hydraulic unit 94942.
Shut vent screws 3 on the pre-tensioning jacks as soon as oil flows bubblefree.

gauge and on pressure gauge 94932a.
Never move piston 4 of the pre-tensioning jack further up than to the red limiting
groove BN (Fig. C).

CHECK

While keeping this pressure constant tighten all nuts 2 with round bar RS till fully
seated on the cylinder cover (check seating with feeler gauge), verify while tightening that all nuts can be turned by about the same angle of 390_.
Where it is found that a nut can be turned considerably less than the others, it must
be assumed that the respective cylinder cover stud has become insufficiently tensioned.

Repeat tensioning procedure after the cylinder cover studs have been loosened again.

When all nuts have been tightened by practically the same angle, release the
oil pressure to zero.
Disconnect and remove HP hoses 94935a from both device halves.
Unscrew round nuts 5 and remove them together with the pre-tensioning
jacks.
CHECK

5.

Verify by the previously applied marks that all nuts have been turned equally by an
angle of about 390_.

Protection upper part of stud and nut


In order to improve the corrosion protection of the cylinder cover stud upper thread,
we strongly advise to mount a protection cap. The protection cap will not only protect the thread at the top of the cylinder cover stud 1 against mechanical damages,
it protects also nut 2. The overall protection cap will also prevent corrosive attack
by any liquid, vapour or other media in the connection area.
The threads of the cylinder cover studs, nuts and their seating surfaces must be
clean and smeared with Never-Seez NSBT-8.
Remark: The new protection cover is easy to be made by the individuals or can
also be bought through the Wrtsil Sales and Spare part channels.

General
The seat sealing face in the cylinder cover must be clean and undamaged as the
sealing is metallic.
Should any blow-by of combustion gases have been noticed during engine operation, the spring packets with their screws of the injection valve are not, under any
circumstances, to be tightened further as a counter measure.

2.

Machining of sealing face


2

Dirty or slightly damaged sealing faces can be re-conditioned on the spot by using overhauling device 94270.
Carefully insert the profiling cutter, bolted to the milling cutter holder, into the hole in the cylinder cover.
Fasten guide flange 3 with screws 7.
When the tool is being used, the centring mandril on
the profiling cutter on the one hand and the guide
flange on the other, give the tool the necessary stability and direction.
Cutting is done by pressing down lightly with the
hand on the milling cutter holder at the same time as
turning the hexagon evenly with the other hand using the ring spanner.
Try to remove as little material as possible but sufficient, however, to obtain the desired standard for
the seating area.
D

Putting some sticky grease on the profiling cutter


will prevent any foreign matter from entering the
combustion chamber during overhaul.

General
For checking, dismantling, assembling and adjusting the injection valve, test
bench 94272 as well as test & calibration fluid has to be used (e.g. Shell Calibration
Fluid S.9365) complying with the data according to the following table:
Physical characteristics for test & calibration fluid:
Kinematic Viscosity

ASTM D445

at 40 _C

mm2/s

Density at 15 _C

kg/m3

ISO 12185

827

_C

ISO 3016

27

Pour Point

2.6

Remark: Clean diesel oil (gas oil) can be used if no calibration fluid is available.
The use however is not recommended, if the injection valve will be stored and not
directly installed on the engine (corrosion reasons).
On some injection valves the leakage flow amount might be bigger than on others.
In case of the test bench flow is not sufficient to open the nozzle needle, a clean
additive-type crankcase (system) oil of the SAE 30 viscosity grade (for additional
data see 07501 System oil in the Operating Manual) can be used for testing
instead of the above mentioned fluids.

Checking an injection valve


Before commissioning the instructions and directions of the test bench manufacturer must be observed.
CHECK

From time to time check the pressure gauges of the test bench with a master pressure gauge and adjust them if necessary.
Remark: The work station must be clean; welding and grinding should not be done
nearby!
Remove combustion residues and clean nozzle tip externally with a brass
wire brush.
Fit injection valve with nozzle tip pointing downwards into holding angle 18 of
test bench 94272 and fasten it with two Allen screws 1 and spring cages 23.
Support 19 must also be fitted for this.
Connect high pressure hose 20 of test bench with fuel inlet of injection valve.
Start test bench following the instructions of the test bench makers.
Bring the injection valve to spray with a few short pump jerks, and then observe at what pressure the injection valve opens, applying slow, equal pump
jerks.
Danger of injuries! Never hold fingers or hands directly before the spray holes of

Judging an injection valve


For correct functioning and for a reuse of an injection valve observe the following
points:
D

Spray pattern: Fuel will spray mainly from the holes in the first level of the
nozzle tip at the specified opening pressure. No fuel should drip from nozzle
tip when injection is finished.

For new injection valves the opening pressure is 375 5 bar.


On used injection valves a pressure reduction of 30 bar may be acceptable.
Should a readjustment of the opening pressure be necessary, see section
Adjusting the opening pressure.

In order to test tightness between the nozzle needle and needle seat, keep the
pressure in the test bench constant at approx. 20 bar below the opening pressure. During a time period of 30 seconds no dripping should occur at the
nozzle tip.

The spray holes of nozzle tip 7 must not be flushed out unduly.

Injection valves which do not spray efficiently must be dismantled as


described in section 4. Often, a thorough cleaning suffices to make them fully
functional.
Remark: Nozzle tips with flushed out spray holes must be replaced by new ones.
Nozzle holder 4 and nozzle body 13 (Fig. E) with poor sealing faces must either be
replaced or reconditioned by the manufacturer or an authorized company.

Dismantling an injection valve


Screw down the injection valve on holding angle 18 of test bench 94272, as
mentioned, however without support 19.
Loosen collar nut 5 and unscrew spring tensioner 6 until compression spring
11 is fully relaxed (Fig. E).
Turn holding angle with injection valve fitted, so that the nozzle tip points upwards.
Lower torque beam 21 with the socket spanner of test bench 94272 (Fig. B)
over the injection valve.
Note test bench manufacturers application instruction!
Actuate hydraulic loosening (or tightening) device of the test bench to loosen
retaining nut 10, then remove nozzle needle 12, nozzle body 13, retaining
sleeve 14 and nozzle tip 7 (Fig. E).
CHECK

Remove spring tensioner 6 with collar nut 5, compression spring 11 and tappet 9
and inspect their condition.
Remark: If only a nozzle tip 7 has to be replaced, then to this end only snap ring 15
has to be removed, see section 5. All other parts are not to be dismantled.
Never interchange nozzle needle 12 and nozzle body 13! Each nozzle needle belongs to its mated nozzle body into which it has been individually fitted with greatest precision.

Assembling an injection valve


To assemble an injection valve, follow generally the reverse sequence of the dismantling process, but note also the following points:
To clean injection valve parts, use only clean diesel oil (gas oil) or fresh kerosene, and dry compressed air.
D

The fitting position of nozzle tip 7, nozzle body 13 and nozzle holder 4 is given
by dowel pins 16 and 17 (Fig. E).

Make sure that the sealing faces are in perfect condition and that no lubricant
is applied.
Fit the nozzle tip in accordance with section 5.
D

If tappet 9, compression spring 11 and spring tensioner 6 with collar nut 5 are
already fitted, the spring tensioner must be screwed by approx. one turn only,
in order to prevent the compression spring from being under tension in any
case, otherwise nozzle body 13 does not lie flat on nozzle holder 4 during assembly.

Apply a thin layer of Never-Seez NSBT-8 to the thread and the seating face of
retaining nut 10.
First tighten retaining nut 10 to 100 Nm using the hydraulic tightening (or loosening) device of the test bench 94272 (Fig. B). Starting from this position,
tighten the retaining nut by a further angle of 30_.

CHECK

8.

Repeat the tightening procedure on the initial assembly.

An angle of 30_ corresponds to 20.4 mm on the circumference relating to a nut


diameter of 78 mm.

After assembling the injection valve must be checked and judged according to sections 2 and 3.

Adjusting the opening pressure


Install the injection valve in the test bench as described in section 2.
The opening pressure of the injection valve (see setting table) can be set by
adjusting spring tensioner 6.
For readjusting the opening pressure, compression spring 11 must first be
completely released by means of spring tensioner 6.
Then operate the valve test bench and tighten the spring tensioner simultaneously until the required opening pressure is reached.
Check the injection valve as described in section 2.
After adjusting the opening pressure, tighten collar nut 5.
Remark: An opening pressure of 375 bar corresponds with reference dimension x1 = 49.5 mm.

General
Should functional difficulties occur with the starting valves when starting, or should
a starting air pipe near to the connection become noticeably hotter in operation
than on the neighbouring cylinders, then the starting valve must be dismantled and
reconditioned at the very next opportunity.
If no such difficulties occur it is recommended to dismantle yearly at random one
starting valve for a thorough check and to overhaul the other starting valves in frequencies determined by such checking.
CHECK

2.

Periodical venting of the starting air manifold under higher pressure must be
provided as mentioned in the Operating Manual 03201. In addition, regular
checks must be carried out to make sure, that nut 18 on solenoid 17 is tight (see
also Maintenance Schedule 03801).

Removal from the cylinder cover


Loosen pipes for control air CA.
Loosen and remove all four nuts 1.
Loosen and remove Allen screws 9. Screw jacking screws into the threaded
holes in casing 4 and by tightening them jack the complete starting valve from
the bore in cylinder cover 5.
Reinsert both Allen screws 9 for removing the complete valve.
Suspended by eye bolts RC lift the valve off the cylinder cover.
D

3.

When the removal is carried out with the cylinder cover fitted on the engine,
the vacated opening must be immediately covered by suitable means to prevent the possibility of foreign particles entering the combustion space.

CHECK

After completing the assembly (without cover 2) check the easy movement of the
valve spindle by moderately tapping the upper end of the valve spindle several
times with a lead block in an axial direction; the valve spindle must jump every time
back on the seat.
If the valve seat have been ground/machined several times, check the clearance
x (see figure) with a depth gauge from the upper edge of intermediate ring 3 onto
the piston 7.
Clearance x must be minimum 1 mm.
Fit cover 2 and tighten it with Allen screws 9. Take care that when assembling
cover 2, connecting pipe 13 does not interfere.

General
Each cylinder cover is provided with an indicator valve combined, depending on
Class requirements, with a relief valve, which is connected by relief bore RB to the
compression chamber. An inadmissible high pressure peak in the compression
chamber opens the valve and the over-pressure is immediately reduced.
A relief valve which has blown off or valves leaking during engine operation
must be replaced at the first opportunity (with engine stopped only).
A relief valve can not be repaired nor adjusted any more after having blownoff!
Relief valves require no maintenance, however they should be checked in general
at every major engine overhaul. Basically leaking or damaged valves should be
returned to the manufacturer for inspection and repair.

Replacement of waisted studs


When fitting a new waisted stud (in the following text called stud for short) of the
cylinder cover, exhaust valve cage or starting valve, the instructions hereafter
must be strictly observed.
Before fitting the stud, clean and degrease the joint surface respectively sealing
face.
If recommended by the jointing compound manufacturer, apply an adhesive primer in order to improve the adhesion on the joint surface.
Do not apply adhesive primer and any lubricant to the thread!
Screw in the stud right to the bottom and until it rests on its seating surface and
tighten it according to instructions 03522 using always a stud driver or two
counter locked nuts. Tool 94008aM100 must be used for the cylinder cover
stud.

General
Valve seats of which the seat surfaces are badly damaged, or on which the wear
limit has been reached through frequent grinding, must be replaced.
The most advantageous position for replacing the valve seat is to bring the valve
cage in a vertical position as shown in Fig. A.
Remark: When the valve seat must be removed with the valve cage in the inverted
upside down position, it must be suspended on the engine room crane slightly
above a wooden underlay. Device 94261 can then be attached from below and the
valve seat carefully withdrawn until it drops caused by its own weight (142 kg).
Therefore, the valve seat must be properly secured with additional wooden underlays. The distance to the wooden underlay is to be kept as small as possible to
avoid any accidents or damage.

2.

Removing the valve seat


Fit both pairs of ring halves of the valve seat fitting and dismantling device
94261 into the groove on the circumference of valve cage 2 and valve seat 1
respectively.
With the aid of the three jack screws of the valve seat fitting and dismantling
device, the valve seat can be pressed out of its seating in the valve cage.
D

Should a valve seat be removed for any reason, it must be reground by means
of valve grinding device 94291 before refitting.

Grinding the valve seat


Grinding in valve seats using the valve spindle with grinding paste must be avoided
as a matter of principle!
Therefore, always use the valve grinding device 94291 for grinding in the valve
seats in the following cases:

When new or reconditioned valve spindles are fitted.

When the seat surface on the valve seat is badly damaged (impacts, corrosion scars).

CHECK

After grinding it is necessary to check whether the new or


re-ground valve makes correct contact with the valve
seat. For this the spindle head seat face is spread with a
thin coating of blueing paste, then inserted vertically into
the guide bush.
Remark: The angle difference is chosen such that in the
hot operating condition the valves makes contact by
50 100% from the outer edge (Fig. F). The blueing
check should show that the cold valve makes contact
only from inside around the whole circumference. The
angle difference can be checked at gap S on the outer
edge with a feeler gauge (Fig. G).

003.457/00

The blueing on the valve seat must be checked by


tapping the valve head three or four times with a
hammer on a wooden block! (Fig. E).
Do not rotate the valve spindle on the valve seat
face, as this risks seizure of the seating.

General
Grinding in a valve together with its valve seat with grinding paste is not permitted.
Valves which have had the seating surfaces badly damaged by pitting or corrosion
have to be reground by machine. It is strongly recommended that a suitable grinding machine 94291 be made available.
Remark: A valve spindle with missing rotation wing may not be reground. The
wing hub must be shrink-fitted on the valve shaft by heating it to 480 _C. Grinding
may first begin after the whole unit has cooled down.
The machines from the makers HUNGER and CHRIS - MARINE are well proven
for valve grinding and can also be ordered directly from Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd,
Winterthur.

Only as little material as necessary should be


ground off the valve seating surface to provide a
clean and smooth finished surface.
Only grind with cooling (wet).

In order to avoid the appearance of chatter marks


on the seating surface, the grinding machine
should be placed in an area which is free of vibration from running machinery or engines, etc. If
necessary the grinding machine should be stood
on a rubber mat.

Remark: For the application of the grinding device refer to the operating instructions.

CHECK

The wear condition can be checked at any time with gauge 94292 and feeler gauge
94122.
D

Where the precise angle required has been obtained during grinding, a check
with marking blue with the valve on the reground valve seat in the valve cage
will show only a line contact or a very narrow band (extent of contact) starting
from the smaller diameter as shown in Fig. B.
See also remarks in 27513 regarding the valve behaviour at running temperature.

A maximum of 3 mm may be ground off the valve seating surface. Valve


plates, where the seat surface has been ground back by more than 3 mm can
be reconditioned by build-up welding.

On engines with arduous operating conditions, corrosion may form at the


bottom of the valve plate, after a longer operating time. Exhaust valves can be
reconditioned if the loss of material on the valve plate is less than or equal to
12 mm.
Exhaust valves cannot be reconditioned anymore, when the loss of material is
more than 12 mm, but can be kept in operation up to 25 mm loss of material.

Remark: Reconditioning of exhaust valves may, however, only be carried out by a


Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd authorized repair workshop.

General
Viscous vibration dampers manufactured by Hasse & Wrede, Metaldyne International UK, STE Schwingungstechnik and Geislinger can be mounted at the free
end of the crankshaft and in case of RTA engines as well at the free end of the camshaft.
The service life of a vibration damper is largely dependent on the speed range in
which the engine is run. Wear of the inner parts as well as changes in the silicone
oil properties can reduce the effectiveness of the damper. By periodic examination
of the silicone oil the makers of the vibration damper can draw conclusions on its
condition.
The silicone oil must be examined for the first time after about 15 00018 000 operating hours. Future intervals for examinations depend on the result of these first
findings.
Special sample containers PB (Fig. B) can be obtained from the vibration
damper makers.

Remark: Before taking a sample, or before working on a


vibration damper, always follow first the instructions of
the vibration damper manufacturer.

Preparation for taking a silicone fluid sample


Remove the casing of the vibration damper.
Turn the crankshaft in such a way that both screw plugs 3 of the vibration
damper are positioned horizontally to each other, whenever possible. If in this
position the screw plugs cannot be loosened , then the vertical position can
also be chosen.
Before removing the screw plug, carefully clean the area around it.
D

Leave the damper in the mentioned position for at least two hours.
(If the oil sample is to be withdrawn from a removed vibration damper the
same conditions apply as regards the positions and the waiting time).

Using a flat caulker, hammer back the squeezed material in the corresponding
slot, which serves as locking means of screw plug 3.
Loosen the screw plug, but do not unscrew it yet, it must still seal.

3.

Taking the sample


CHECK

Prepare sample container PB, i.e. remove both cap nuts 8 and examine the bore
which must be meticulously clean.
Remark: Two different threads are used for the sample bores of the Simpson International and STE vibration dampers. Therefore, the ends of the sample container are provided with different threads.
Remove the previously loosened screw plug 3, and screw in the sample container PB instead.
After fully screwing in the sample container, screw it back by one turn to prevent it from touching the flywheel inside the vibration damper.
Wait until the silicon fluid appears at the open end of the sample container.
Depending on the viscosity of the fluid, this may take some seconds only, or
much longer.
As soon as the silicon fluid flows out of the sample container, close its open
end with the respective cap nut.
Unscrew the sample container from the vibration damper housing (taking care
not to let escape the fluid), then immediately set in screw plug 3 with a new
O-ring 4 or sealing ring 5. (Avoid any leaking of silicon fluid.)
Screw the second cap nut on the sample container and tighten it moderately.
For the different vibration dampers tighten screw plugs 3 as follows:

Metaldyne International with 25 Nm

with 20 Nm

STE

with 15 Nm (M10) or 45 Nm (M16)

Finally secure the screw plugs with centre punch mark KS (Fig. B).

General
Depending on the design execution of an engine, a vibration damper of GEISLINGER make may be mounted at the free end of the crankshaft.
The service life of a vibration damper depends largely on the speed range in which
the engine is operated. Water, in particular sea-water, in the lubricating oil leads to
increased wear and loss of damping action.

2.

Check
D

The engine filters should regularly be checked for steel or bronze chippings. If
such chippings are found also in the damper housing, the damper supplier is
to be informed accordingly.

Until the reasons for such findings are not clarified and rectified, it is not allowed to
put the damper back into service.

Should the oil pressure drop below 1 bar, it may not be corrected by adjustment of the adjustable throttle in the supply piping. Instead, the cause of the
pressure drop must be investigated (defective oil supply piping 4).

Attention! If the oil supply to the damper is interrupted, the engine must be
stopped immediately, otherwise the damper may be seriously damaged. The oil
supply has to be reestablished before restarting the engine.
D

Should damage be noticed on the engine bearings which is due to water contamination of the lubricating oil, then the vibration damper must also be inspected for possible damage at the very earliest opportunity.

To check the inner spring tips and groove flanks the inspection cover on the
face of damper casing 1 (Fig. B) can be removed (with stopped engine). For
wear limits refer to the manual of the damper manufacturer.

Dismantling of a vibration damper should only take place if there is a reasonable suspicion that the damper is damaged or wear rates have exceeded their
limits. In this case contact the damper manufacturer for further instructions.

Attention! Adjustments on the vibration damper may only be carried out by a specialist, with simultaneous torsional vibration measurements.
Prior to removing a vibration damper and balance weight mark their positions with
reference to the crankshaft.
D

For tightening values of coupling bolts 6 see 03521.

Remark: For the test run after the first commissioning, as well as the normal
checking and servicing intervals, refer to the manual of the damper manufacturer.

Remark: Pay attention to General Guidelines for Lifting Tools 00121.


Attention! Using lifting tackle carefully raise upper part of cylinder . Make absolutely sure that the upper part of the cylinder slides out of the seal rings 6 and 7
without jamming, as otherwise the seal rings risk being damaged.

For removal of two-part seal rings 6 and 7, loosen first self-locking nuts 8 and
remove Allen screws 9. The sealing rings can then be turned out of their
grooves in the lower part of cylinder 2 without any problems.

10

When overhauling the axial damper check also the


condition of throttling valve 10. The spindle position
has been locked by locking screw 12 and a locking
plate 13.

Changing the position of the throttling valve is forbidden.


D

For pre-setting spindle 11 has to be turned back by


about four turns starting from the closed position.

This adjustment must be verified on the basis of


vibration measurements during sea trial; otherwise
the spindle must be readjusted. The final adjustment has to be engraved in the name plate fitted to
the upper part of cylinder 1.

14

004.156/99

If it becomes necessary to unscrew or replace a spindle for any reason, then the
distance x must be measured first (Fig. D). The spindle has to be adjusted to the
same distance on reassembling.
The spindle must not be turned back by more than 16 turns , that corresponds to a
stroke of x = 48 mm.
D

When the above check brings to light any defect of throttling valve 10 then diaphragms 14 (Fig. A) screwed into the throttling valve must also be checked
for possible damage and replaced if necessary.

Attention! The engine must not be operated with spindle 11 removed or with the
oil supply to the axial damper interrupted!

3.

Assembling
Remark: The seal rings normally have no signs of wear, therefore no dimension
due to wear is indicated. However, worn or damaged seal rings 6 and 7 due to contamination must be replaced. See also 31461 Monitoring system in the Operating Manual.
D

The seal rings are fastened by two Allen screws 9 and self-locking nuts 8. Immediately before fitting the seal rings smear them with clean engine oil.

Newly fitted seal rings must allow radial movement when fitted.

The assembling of the axial damper is done analogously to dismantling but in


reverse sequence. Pay the utmost attention when lowering upper part of cylinder 1 into place, to prevent seal rings 6 and 7 from being damaged.

Before tightening screws 3 as well as 4 and 5 fit the taper pins for the upper
part and lower part of the cylinder.

Remark: Apply MOLYKOTE and tighten screw 4 between axial damper and bedplate with a tightening angle of 50_ (see also 03521).

Application picture

Remark

1 LE 5182
PYROSHIELD

Apply lubricant in a zigzag line to provide a thin


layer of lubricant over
the entire gear tooth surface.

2 Klberfluid
CF 3 ULTRA

In order to reach a very


thin shiny layer of lubricant, it is recommended
to warm up Klberfluid
to approx. 35 _C in a
small tin which is put into
warm water.

Re-lubrication intervals
According to visual inspection results, when hardly any lubricant is left any more on
the highest loaded tooth flank areas, i.e. before the tooth flanks nearly run dry:
Approximately every 2000 operating hours of the diesel engine, or more frequently, as required.

Fitting of a bearing shell


D

For fitting a bearing shell to the bottom end bearing, the surface of the
crankpin must be in perfect condition.

While fitting a bearing shell pay attention to prevent dirt or foreign particles
from entering between the shell rear surface and its seating! The contact surfaces of the shell rear side and the bearing bore must be free from any damage. Immediately before inserting the bearing shells they have to be wiped
with a slightly oily hand, so that a trace of oil is on them.

The bearing shell should be placed in the connecting rod head such that it protrudes by the same distance at both ends of the separating face.

This protrusion is a must and under no circumstances may the separating


face of the bearing shell be filed to reduce it!

x2

x1

Protrusion of a new
bottom end bearing shell:
x1 + x2 = approx. 0.56 0.64 mm

008.458/01

Remark: Above measuring checks must be carried out when fitting new bearing
shells. For this the bearing shells are placed in position the bearing cover fitted and
the nuts tightened by hand with a round bar.
Prior to final assembly smear the running surfaces lavishly with clean bearing oil.
Should, however, the engine have to be frequently turned after the fitting of the
bearing, or should a re-start of the engine not be immediately planned, then
instead of bearing oil a mixture of 2/3 steam-engine cylinder oil and 1/3 normal bearing oil should be used. Special oils suited to this purpose are also available from
reliable suppliers.
In order to further reduce the risk of dry running on newly fitted bearing shells, the
latter can be post-lubricated by means of a lubricating pump (see 33033).

Fitting the bearing shell


The fitting of bearing shell 10 and bearing cover 12 is carried out analogously but in
reverse sequence to the removal, whereby the following points require special
attention:
D
CHECK

Lateral guide segments 14 (Fig. G) must be refitted to connecting rod head in


the same place as before!

Check whether the surface of the crosshead pin is in perfect condition before fitting
the bearing shell.
D

While fitting a bearing shell pay attention to prevent dirt or foreign particles
from entering between the shell rear surface and its seating! The contact surfaces of the shell rear side and the bearing bore must be free from any damage. Immediately before inserting the bearing shell they have to be wiped with
a slightly oily hand, so that a trace of oil is on them.

The bearing shell should be placed in the connecting rod head such that it protrudes by the same distance at both ends of the separating face (Fig. H).

This protrusion is a must and under no circumstances may the separating


face of the bearing shell be filed to reduce it!
Prior to final assembly smear the running surfaces lavishly with clean bearing oil.
Should, however, the engine have to be frequently turned after the fitting of the
bearing, or should a restart of the engine not be immediately planned, then instead
of bearing oil a mixture of 2/3 steam-engine cylinder oil and 1/3 normal bearing oil
should be used. Special oils suited to this purpose are also available from reliable
suppliers.
D

The tensioning of the connecting rod studs must be carried out as instructed in
33031.

When fitting the bearing shell, as well as the crosshead pin, pay attention not
to damage the white metal of the two guide segments 14 (Fig. G).

Attention! Always fit toggle lever 2 in such a way that its curvature stands upwards.
Retaining pins 94323a, roller supports 94331 and carrying roller 94332 must be
removed immediately after completing the work.

Post lubrication of connecting rod bearing


In order to further reduce the risk of dry running on newly fitted bearing shells, a
connecting flange 94336 can be fitted after removing the oil pressure pipe DL to
the crosshead bearing as shown in Fig. I. The connecting flange has to be connected via an oil pressure hose to a lubricating pump OP.
The pump has to be filled with the mentioned oil mixture (steam-engine cylinder oil)
or special oil. The lubricating pump has to be operated from time to time, until oil is
pouring out from the bearing side faces. Before the engine is put back into operation, the oil pressure pipe DL must be refitted. The remainder of the above mentioned special oil or oil mixture may remain in the engine oil system.

Fitting the bearing shell


The fitting of bearing shell 9 and bearing cover 11 is carried out analogously but in
reverse sequence to the removal, whereby the following points require special
attention:
D
CHECK

Lateral guide segments 13 (Fig. G) must be refitted to connecting rod head in


the same place as before!

Check whether the surface of the crosshead pin is in perfect condition before fitting
the bearing shell.
D

While fitting a bearing shell pay attention to prevent dirt or foreign particles
from entering between the shell rear surface and its seating! The contact surfaces of the shell rear side and the bearing bore must be free from any damage. Immediately before inserting the bearing shell they have to be wiped with
a slightly oily hand, so that a trace of oil is on them.

The bearing shell should be placed in the connecting rod head such that it protrudes by the same distance at both ends of the separating face (Fig. H).

This protrusion is a must and under no circumstances may the separating


face of the bearing shell be filed to reduce it!
Prior to final assembly smear the running surfaces lavishly with clean bearing oil.
Should, however, the engine have to be frequently turned after the fitting of the
bearing, or should a restart of the engine not be immediately planned, then instead
of bearing oil a mixture of 2/3 steam-engine cylinder oil and 1/3 normal bearing oil
should be used. Special oils suited to this purpose are also available from reliable
suppliers.
D

The tensioning of the connecting rod studs must be carried out as instructed in
33031.

When fitting the bearing shell, as well as the crosshead pin, pay attention not
to damage the white metal of the two guide segments 13 (Fig. G).

Attention! Always fit toggle lever 2 in such a way that its curvature stands upwards.

Post lubrication of connecting rod bearing


In order to further reduce the risk of dry running on newly fitted bearing shells, a
connecting flange 94336 can be fitted after removing the oil pressure pipe DL to
the crosshead bearing as shown in Fig. I. The connecting flange has to be connected via an oil pressure hose to a lubricating pump OP.
The pump has to be filled with the mentioned oil mixture (steam-engine cylinder oil)
or special oil. The lubricating pump has to be operated from time to time, until oil is
pouring out from the bearing side faces. Before the engine is put back into operation, the oil pressure pipe DL must be refitted. The remainder of the above mentioned special oil or oil mixture may remain in the engine oil system.

Checking the clearances


Clearance

Clearance between guide shoes and guide ways:


The corresponding crankpin must stand in such a position
that guide shoes 2 lie on guide ways 4 on fuel or exhaust
side.
Clearance 1 is valid over the whole guide way length and
is measured according to the position as shown in Fig. B.

Clearance

Lateral clearance of crosshead between the columns:


The clearance is measured in every position of the crosshead. The complete crosshead must be pressed axially to
a side with suitable hardwood wedges or similar aids. The
pressure must be exerted onto guide shoe 2 or middle part
7 and not onto crosshead pin 1.

Clearance

Lateral clearance between middle part and


crosshead pin:
Push the corresponding middle part to the stop of retaining
cover 3 in the above mentioned position of the crosshead.

Clearance

Radial clearance between crosshead pin and


middle part:
This clearance is very difficult to establish inside the engine. It is therefore best to measure and calculate this
clearance on the removed crosshead. For this the pin diameter and the bore in the middle part have to be measured with micrometers.

Fitting the piston


Prior to fitting the piston, the following works must be carried out:
Remove piston rings with ring expander 94338 (see 34251) and clean piston
exterior thoroughly. (Use no tool which could scratch or otherwise damage the
surface!).
CHECK

Determine the height of the piston ring grooves (see Clearance Table 03301
Piston and piston rings).
Clean piston rings and measure them.
Remarks: For refitting of used and new piston rings, follow strictly instructions in
34251.

CHECK

When refitting used piston rings be sure to fit them in the same grooves
as before.

Fit the piston rings in such a manner that their marking TOP is on top.

Check the piston top surface (see 34034).


Measure bore of cylinder liner (see 21241) and carry out any needed reconditioning to lubricating grooves and scavenge ports (see 21243).
Actuate the cylinder lubrication of the respective cylinder until oil flows from all
the lubricating points.
D

Gland and both distance holders 94345 must be mounted on the piston rod
(see 23031).

Suspension device 94341(a) must be fastened to the top of the piston crown.

Remarks: 2-part insertion funnel 94342b has the advantage that a half can be removed, if required.

H
94342a(b)

Insertion funnel 94342a(b) for the piston rings must

Piston: Removal and Fitting

5.1

Fitting

Slightly lift piston by crane. Loosen screw connection 12 of supports 9 (Fig. G) and push both supports outwards. Then lift the piston including gland
11 so far that the two hinged covers 10 can be
turned up.

94342a(b)

Lift piston out of supporting device, bring it above


cylinder liner and lower it slowly into it (Fig. I).
D

When the piston is lowered into the cylinder liner


until the lowest piston ring is at the upper level of
the insertion funnel, arrange the piston rings so
that their gaps alternate by 180_ to each other.
See instructions in 34251.

Slowly lower the piston further till its piston rod foot
has arrived just above the crosshead pin. While
one person directs the further lowering of the piston from the top, another directs the piston rod
progress from the engine interior and how it must
be turned to guide the piston rod foot, without jamming, into the centring pins 13 (Fig. A) in the
crosshead pin.

94345

Slacken the crane rope a bit and remove the suspension device.
Turn piston to B.D.C. and direct the insertion of the
gland into its seating bore in the cylinder jacket
(see 23031).
Loosen and remove both distance holders from
the piston foot.
Firmly tighten all screws fastening the gland housing.
014.039/06

Tension the waisted studs for the piston foot fastening as described above.
Remark: Refit antipolishing ring as described in
21242 and reinstall protections 17.

6.

Leak test
A leak test must be carried out after every fitting of a piston in the cylinder. For this,
start the bearing lubrication pump and set the bearing lubricating pressure. Check
through the scavenge space on the fuel side in the cylinder jacket (piston underside) whether cylinder liner running surface and piston rod remain dry.
Any increase in the dirty oil level in the scavenge air space may be caused by a
faulty O-ring in the piston.

Assembling of a piston
For assembling the piston the following points must be observed:

CHECK

Damaged spraying nozzles 2a may under no circumstances be reused. New


ones must be fitted with liquid securing agent LOCTITE No. 0648.

Whenever possible always use new O-rings, they must conform in dimensions and quality to our specifications (see 03701).

All cylindrical guide portions and O-rings must be smeared with oil before
the assembly.

No additional lubricant must be applied to the threads of waisted screws 15.

Pre-tighten waisted screws 15 with 60 Nm using a torque wrench, subsequently


tighten to an angle of 40_ and finally secure them with locking plates.
D

Attention must be paid to locating pin 13 when assembling piston skirt 9 with
piston rod 8.

Insert and tighten both elastic screws 12.

201007

For the assembly of piston crown 1 with piston rod 8 make sure that the two
centring pins 11 (Fig. G), serving also as guides, mate with the corresponding bores in the piston skirt 9 and the piston rod.

Tension waisted studs 7 according to section 3.

Every time a piston is pulled the piston top surface contour must be checked with

on the topmost piston ring and rotated around the piston axis (see Fig. A).
D

Where burn scars are only slight it is sufficient to grind them over and to
smooth sharp-edged zones with emery cloth. Where, however, burn scars exceed x = 10 mm the original material thickness must be restored by surface
welding. This entails the removal of the piston crown.

Before re-starting the engine, the reason for such heavy burns should be established. The causes must be remedied.
Causes of heavy burn scars may be:

94366

Poor combustion

Worn nozzles

Heavy local carbon deposits on top of the piston


crown etc.

General
For judging and evaluating the condition of cylinder liner, piston and piston rings
the following guidelines serve for a condition-based Maintenance for piston and
cylinder liner overhaul.
Wear rates strongly depend on operational factors, such as fuel in use, engine load
profile, ambient conditions etc.
By visual inspections, critical conditions of cylinder liners and piston rings can be
detected at an early stage. Further information to monitor the cylinder liner and piston ring conditions are given in the Operating Manual 07501 Lubricating Oils.
The information regarding measuring piston ring grooves helps to define if the
wear on piston ring grooves is within the given limits or if the piston head must be
reconditioned. For the maximum wear data see Clearance Table 03301 Piston
and Piston Rings.

2.

Determine wear rate of piston rings


Measure the thickness of the chrome-ceramic coating of the piston rings as scheduled in 03801 to determine the wear rate and the remaining life time of the piston
rings.
Remark: See suppliers operation manual for the usage of layer measurement tool
94356.

Piston: Checking Wear of Piston Rings and Ring Grooves

2.1

Measure coating thickness with piston in situ (through scavenge ports)


Before each measurement the layer measurement tool 94356 must be calibrated.
Use the delivered calibration foils and the bare top flank of a spare top piston ring
as base material for proper setting.
Clean piston ring running surface at reachable measuring points P1 to P9.
Press the sensor of the layer measurement tool against the piston ring surface
at middle of ring height.
Measure the layer thickness and note the output value.

Wear rate
The chrome-ceramic coating is a lifetime coating. However, the actual wear depends on operating conditions. When during a piston underside inspection a piston ring with a partially worn chrome-ceramic coating is found, we recommend
overhauling the unit at next opportunity (Fig. B).
With regular done measuring you can determine the specific wear rate for each
piston ring.
The piston rings can still be used, if the remaining chrome-ceramic coating is
above the following limits:

Uppermost piston ring a > 0.05 mm

Lower piston rings b and c > 0.02 mm

Below those minimal coating thicknesses, a piston ring replacement must be


planned.

Measuring piston ring grooves


CHECK

3.1

Check all dimensions and record them (see Clearance Table 03301 Piston and
piston rings). These records are important for later evaluation of the running gear.
They should encompass all dimensions, the date of overhaul and operating hours
of the various components and of the engine itself.

Measurement with piston in situ (through scavenge ports)


The measurement of the piston ring clearance has to be carried out at two to four
free positions around the complete circumference of the piston head. The number
of measurement points depends on the accessibility.
Make sure that feeler gauge 94122 is pushed into the piston ring groove until it
touches the inner diameter of the groove, i.e. at point A. If there is a wear step on
the chromium layer, the feeler gauge can be pushed only to that point (C3).
Remark: Also consider the deposits in the piston ring groove and/or on the piston
ring top face.
Move piston 3 down (C1) by means of the turning gear.
Make sure that the total clearance is measured:
First measure the clearance x1at point A.
Afterwards repeat the measurement at the same circumferential position and
measure the clearance x2.
The sum of both values will give the total piston ring clearance.
Remark: The reason for this split measuring principle is that the piston rings might
be in a tilted position and thus not fully pushed-up and tight to the upper face of the
piston ring groove (C2).
The maximum clearance is at point A. For the maximum wear data see Clearance
Table 03301 Piston and Piston Rings.
If the clearance at point A exceeds the permitted value, the piston rings have to be
replaced and the piston head has to be reconditioned.
For reconditioning of piston crowns please contact your nearest Wrtsil Service
Center.

Removing piston rings


For removing piston rings, always use the corresponding tensioning device with its
specially designed claw 4 preventing the coating from being chipped off at the ring
ends:
To prevent deformation it is of the utmost importance not to open the rings
more than absolutely necessary, i.e. allowing removal over the piston
crown.
Thoroughly clean piston, piston rings and piston ring grooves.

General
Gear wheels of new engines have to be checked visually during the running-in period after about 12 operating hours. The same applies to old engines which have
been equipped with new gear wheels.

2.

Check
Rotate crankshaft with the turning gear until all the teeth have been inspected.
Check with running lubricating oil pump, whether all the spray nozzles are delivering oil freely.
Check whether all the screws are correctly locked, and whether any irregularities can be detected.
After the running-in period check the gear wheels periodically every three
months in the manner described above. Should in this time faults appear, then
these can in certain cases be remedied by an experienced engineer.

3.

Should noises be heard in the region of the gear train, search for its cause.
Replace defective gear wheels as soon as ever possible, to prevent damage
to the mating gear wheels.

When the gear wheels have run well for an initial running period of 60008000
hours the above-mentioned inspection may be carried out annually.

For the checking of clearances and tooth impressions the tie rods and the
waisted studs of the main bearings must be tightened.

Checking the gear tooth backlash


Information concerning the gear tooth backlash values can be found in the table of
clearances (see 03301). The backlash can be determined in several ways. Depending on the possibilities, the following methods of measurement can be used:

3.1

With feeler gauge 94122


Measure the gap between the teeth flanks by using different thicknesses of feelers. Repeat the measurement at a minimum of four points on the circumference of
the gear wheel.

3.2

With dial gauge


Mount the dial gauge in such a way that the turning movement can be read off in
mm. The gear wheel is turned in such a way that the tooth profile of one tooth
moves from one side to the other. When using this method of measuring care must
be taken since the drive wheel must not be allowed to turn.

Fitting
Fitting the intermediate wheel is carried out analogously to the removal but in
reverse sequence, whereby attention must be paid as follows:
Remark: When fitting bearings 11 they must first be lavishly smeared with bearing
oil. Both bearings are basically equal, they may, however, only be refitted in their
original place, as their position has been dowelled with taper pins 10 when building
the engine.

Adjustment of intermediate wheel


Should it be necessary to replace one bearing 11, the opposite bearing must be
replaced at the same time, as new bearings are always manufactured in pairs.
When fitting them an exact adjustment of the intermediate wheel is essential.
For a new adjustment of the intermediate wheel, adjusting devices 94410
must be used as shown in Fig. G.

Replacement of a gear rim


D

The replacement of a damaged 2-part gear wheel may only be done in exchange for a complete gear wheel i.e. gear rim 16 must be screw fastened to
wheel hub 15 and the bearing journal fitted.

This is necessary as the final machining of the gear teeth has been carried out
in this mounted condition at the makers works and guarantees the required
perfect true running of the complete gear wheel.
For this reason a split design gear wheel may only be installed if the final
machining of the teeth had been carried out with assembled hub / gear
rim.

After the final machining of the teeth the gear rim may not be separated from the
wheel hub.
D

Should the damage be limited to the toothing (gear rim), then the hub may be
reused, provided a new rim, on which the teeth are not finish-machined, is
fitted to the hub, screw-fastened and dowelled. Then its teeth can be finishmachined.

Apply LOCTITE 262 and then tighten self-locking nuts 18 until an angle of 80_
is obtained.

Replacing the Gear Wheel on the Crankshaft

1.

General
Usually, the gear wheel on the crankshaft (from now on referred to as gear wheel)
is executed in one part and fitted as such on the crankshaft. If a damaged gear
wheel in the engine is to be replaced, it must be separated into two halves for dismantling. In order to avoid damages, especially to the crankshaft, please obtain the necessary instructions and recommendations for executing such dismantling work from the engine supplier or from Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd.
For dismantling as well as for assembling a new gear wheel, dismount the intermediate wheel (41032) to the supply unit drive.
The spare gear wheel is designed in two parts and must be fitted as described below.
Remark: When ordering a two-part spare wheel, please indicate the engine type,
the engine No., as well as the engine supplier. This data is necessary because the
centring diameter of the crankshaft is registered for mounting the gear wheel, and
the center hole of the two-part spare wheel is manufactured according to these dimensions.

2.

Preparing the assembly of the gear wheel


DRIVING END

CHECK

DEGREASE

The undersize of center hole d (Fig. A) on two-part


gear wheel 1 with regard to the corresponding centring
diameter of the crankshaft has to be checked and recorded beforehand. For measuring, the crankshaft, the
gear wheel, and the measuring instrument must have
the same temperature.
The undersize of the center hole with respect to the centring diameter must be 0.050.14 mm.
D

If the undersize is not within the mentioned tolerance, the gear wheel must not be assembled, but
the center hole of the gear wheel has to be given an
appropriate aftertreatment (remachine / possibly
bore and flame-spray, and machine to obtain the
correct diameter).

Check whether there is a mark on crankshaft flange


2 for fitting the gear wheel. For the assembly, the
gear wheel partition must coincide with this mark.
The designation DRIVING END, which is located on
the front of the gear wheel, must be on the side of
the flywheel!

Before assembling, the centring diameter of the crankshaft flange as well as


the centre hole of the gear wheel with the corresponding flange faces must be
well cleaned and degreased (Fig. B). Do not use neither oil nor MOLYKOTE.
All surfaces must be in faultless condition.

Remark: The assembly of the gear wheel must be carried out carefully, since relatively small faults could have a negative influence on the operating performance of
all gear wheels of the drive.

Fasten a base 5 and a castle nut 4 on either side


of each waisted stud.
The projection X of the waisted stud with respect
to the castle nut must be 4 mm.

Before fitting the castle nut, degrease the thread


and apply LOCTITE 262 to it.

In addition, secure the castle nut with a split pin to


prevent it from slipping when tightening the waisted studs afterwards.

Wait one or two days before tightening the waisted


studs in order to ensure thorough curing of the
LOCTITE.

001.168/97

Remark: The castle nut secured with LOCTITE and a


split pin must be fitted in such a way that the waisted stud
can be tensioned together with the castle nut opposite,
as shown in Fig. I and K.

centres of the upper and the lower gear wheel half
(Fig. H).

CHECK There must be no clearance on the seating surfaces between the gear wheel and the crankshaft flange check!

001.166/97

2008

Gap j must be 0.16 mm0.44 mm. If the dimension is


not within the mentioned tolerance, the gear wheel must
not be assembled, but the center hole has to be given an
appropriate re-machining (see Preparing the assembly
of the gear wheel).

For fitting the four remaining castle nuts 4 belonging


to waisted studs 3 (Fig. C), apply MOLYKOTE
paste to the threads and the seating surfaces. Tighten only the castle nuts treated with MOLYKOTE
paste. Use retaining wrench 94412e (Fig. K) for
holding up the castle nuts opposite which have already been fitted and secured with LOCTITE and a
split pin.
Tighten the four castle nuts 4 of waisted studs 3
crosswise by means of hydraulic tightening device
94412 (Fig. I and K), measuring and recording the
length of the waisted studs beforehand.

Replacing the Gear Wheel on the Crankshaft


Fit the clamping fork with extension 94412a as shown in Fig. I and K, and
connect hydraulic ram 94412d to forked piece 94412c and impact ring spanner 94412b.
For tightening, connect the hydraulic ram together with both HP hoses
94935a and 94935 and hydr. distributor 94934a to HP oil pump 94931, plugging one of the openings at the connection piece with plug piece 94934e (Fig.
K).
Close relief valve EV on the HP oil pump and actuate the HP oil pump.
CHECK

The waisted studs are correctly pretensioned if an extension of L 1.75 0.08


mm is measured.
Check: there must be no gap in the gear wheel partition.
If the split pin for securing the castle nut cannot be fitted, turn the castle nut
only so far as to allow the split pin to be fitted.
After the check mentioned above has been carried out, dismantle both flange
screws 6 which have been temporarily fitted beforehand (Fig. H).
Degrease the threads of all flange screws 6 and their self-locking nuts 8 and then
apply LOCTITE 262 to them; do not use MOLYKOTE!
Fit all flange screws 6 with distance sleeves 7 and self-locking nuts 8 (Fig. I).
Afterwards, tighten them crosswise and evenly distributed over the circumference with an angle of 80_.

CHECK

After fitting the gear wheel on the crankshaft and assembling the intermediate
wheel, check the correct positioning of the driving wheels (see 41032).
Check all driving wheels as specified in 41031 after assembling them.

RT-flex96C

Single Wall Column

General
Usually, the gear wheel on the crankshaft (from now on referred to as gear wheel)
is executed in one part and fitted as such on the crankshaft. If a damaged gear
wheel in the engine is to be replaced, it must be separated into two halves for dismantling. In order to avoid damages, especially to the crankshaft, please obtain the necessary instructions and recommendations for executing such dismantling work from the engine supplier or from Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd.
For dismantling as well as for assembling a new gear wheel, dismount the intermediate wheel (41032) to the supply unit drive.
The spare gear wheel is designed in two parts and must be fitted as described below.
Remark: When ordering a two-part spare wheel, please indicate the engine type,
the engine No., as well as the engine supplier. This data is necessary because the
centring diameter of the crankshaft is registered for mounting the gear wheel, and
the center hole of the two-part spare wheel is manufactured according to these dimensions.

2.

Preparing the assembly of the gear wheel


DRIVING END

CHECK

DEGREASE

The undersize of center hole d (Fig. A) on two-part


gear wheel 1 with regard to the corresponding centring
diameter of the crankshaft has to be checked and recorded beforehand. For measuring, the crankshaft, the
gear wheel, and the measuring instrument must have
the same temperature.
The undersize of the center hole with respect to the centring diameter must be 0.050.14 mm.
D

If the undersize is not within the mentioned tolerance, the gear wheel must not be assembled, but
the center hole of the gear wheel has to be given an
appropriate aftertreatment (remachine / possibly
bore and flame-spray, and machine to obtain the
correct diameter).

Check whether there is a mark on crankshaft flange


2 for fitting the gear wheel. For the assembly, the
gear wheel partition must coincide with this mark.
The designation DRIVING END, which is located on
the front of the gear wheel, must be on the side of
the flywheel!

Before assembling, the centring diameter of the crankshaft flange as well as


the centre hole of the gear wheel with the corresponding flange faces must be
well cleaned and degreased (Fig. B). Do not use neither oil nor MOLYKOTE.
All surfaces must be in faultless condition.

Remark: The assembly of the gear wheel must be carried out carefully, since relatively small faults could have a negative influence on the operating performance of
all gear wheels of the drive.

Fasten a base 5 and a castle nut 4 on either side


of each waisted stud.
The projection X of the waisted stud with respect
to the castle nut must be 4 mm.

Before fitting the castle nut, degrease the thread


and apply LOCTITE 262 to it.

In addition, secure the castle nut with a split pin to


prevent it from slipping when tightening the waisted studs afterwards.

Wait one or two days before tightening the waisted


studs in order to ensure thorough curing of the
LOCTITE.

001.168/97

Remark: The castle nut secured with LOCTITE and a


split pin must be fitted in such a way that the waisted stud
can be tensioned together with the castle nut opposite,
as shown in Fig. I and K.

(Fig. H).

CHECK There must be no clearance on the seating surfaces between the gear wheel and the crankshaft flange check!

001.166/97

2008

Gap j must be 0.16 mm0.44 mm. If the dimension is


not within the mentioned tolerance, the gear wheel must
not be assembled, but the center hole has to be given an
appropriate re-machining (see Preparing the assembly
of the gear wheel).

For fitting the four remaining castle nuts 4 belonging


to waisted studs 3 (Fig. C), apply MOLYKOTE
paste G to the threads and the seating surfaces.
Tighten only the castle nuts treated with MOLYKOTE paste G. Use retaining wrench 94412e (Fig. K)
for holding up the castle nuts opposite which have already been fitted and secured with LOCTITE and a
split pin.
Tighten the four castle nuts 4 of waisted studs 3
crosswise by means of hydraulic tightening device
94412 (Fig. I and K ), measuring and recording the
length of the waisted studs beforehand.

Shut-off Valve for Starting Air: Cleaning and Function Check

3.

Function check
After completing the assembly carry out a function check, for which the following
precautions have to be taken:

3.1

3.2

Initial position
D

The stop valves of the starting air receivers must still be closed.

Screw plug 13 of the shut-off valve has to be removed.

Shut-off valve for starting air is in position CLOSED (closed by hand).

Venting valve 2.21 to connection EV must be closed.

The engine has to be completely assembled, ready to start and the turning gear must be in the disengaged position.

The area of flywheel, propeller shaft and propeller must be free of persons or
objects.

During the functional check the reversing must remain in position STOP and
START may not be actuated under any circumstances.

Tightness
Close venting valve 2.27 in the main starting pipe.
Open the stop valve of a starting air receiver slowly.
CHECK

3.3

Check whether the automatic shut-off valve is airtight, i.e. verify that no air escapes
from the bore of screw plug 14.

Manual opening
Open the shut-off valve slowly with the help of handwheel 20 till locking lever
21 is in the position OPENED (by hand). The discharging air at the bore for
screw plug 13 indicates that valve 4 of the shut-off valve and valve body 8 of
the non-return valve are open.
Risk of accident! Great care must be taken for this operation. To prevent accidents from compressed air suddenly escaping out of the bore for screw plug 13 a
sufficient distance has to be kept.

3.4

Automatic closing
Turn handwheel 20 to position CLOSED till locking lever 21 engages in position AUTOMATIC.

Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd

In this position the shut-off valve should, through the spring resistance, be automatically closed. No more air should come out at the bore for screw plug 13.

In this position the valve closes positively only if there is a clearance S1 (in
new condition min. 2 mm max. 5 mm) between spindle 18 and spindle guide
19.

RT-flex96C

Shut-off Valve for Starting Air: Cleaning and Function Check

CHECK

3.5

By turning the spindle carefully to position OPENED, the contact with spindle guide
19 can be felt. The clearance S1 can thus be determined externally and it shall be
min. 2 mm corresponding to 1/3 turn of the spindle.
D

Should virtually no clearance exist after frequent reconditioning of valve seat


and valve, these parts have to be replaced during the next overhaul.

Locking lever 21 is in position AUTOMATIC.

By opening test valve 2.06, which is fitted in piping TV, the same effect is obtained as when actuating control valve 9.

Upon opening test valve 2.06 the shut-off valve opens automatically. The air
now escaping at the bore for screw plug 13 indicates that valve 4 of the shutoff valve and valve body 8 of the non-return valve have opened.

Automatic opening

Risk of accident! Great care must be taken for this operation. To prevent accidents from compressed air suddenly escaping out of the bore for screw plug 13 a
sufficient distance has to be kept to the shut-off valve.
D

After shutting test valve 2.06 no air must escape from bore for screw plug 13.

After completing these checks fit and tighten screw plug 13, and close the
shut-off valve with handwheel 20 to position CLOSED (by hand).

General
The following instructions apply to supply units which are providing 2-part fuel
cams, i.e. with conical bushes (bush for short).
The camshaft must be removed from the supply unit for removing and fitting the
fuel cams and gear wheels on the camshaft (see 55522). To be able to work appropriately, it is recommended to put the camshaft on suitable pedestals.
Prior to fitting the fuel cams, it must be ensured that the fuel cams, bushes and
camshaft are absolutely clean and in perfect condition.
HP oil pump 94931 and hydraulic unit 94942 have to be filled with engine oil having
a viscosity of SAE30 to SAE40 before starting them up. In exceptional cases hydraulic unit 94942 may be filled with cylinder lubricating oil.
Remark: Pay attention to:
General Guidelines for Lifting Tools 00121.
General Application Instructions 94034 for hydraulic pre-tensioning jacks.

Removing the fuel cam


Screw adapter piece 94426 into fuel cam 2 to be removed and connect it to
hydraulic unit 94942.
Push hydr. jacking tool 94424 on fuel cam and fasten it using six screws 8
(evenly tighten screws slightly by hand only).
Connect the hydr. jacking tool to HP oil pump 94931, however one side of
hydr. distributor 94934a must be plugged with plug piece 94934e.
Close relief valve EV and open vent screw 9.
Actuate HP oil pump 94931 and close the vent screw as soon as oil flows
bubble-free, and continue pumping till all pistons 12 are drawn out.
Evenly tighten screws 8.
Danger of accident! The following order of actuating HP oil pump and hydraulic
unit must be followed!
The oil pressure in the hydr. jacking tool 94424 may not exceed 250 bar.
Actuate HP oil pump 94931 till the pressure in the hydr. jacking tool reaches
approx. 90 bar.
Actuate hydraulic unit 94942 till oil is squeezing out on the whole circumference between bush 7 and fuel cam 2. While keeping the hydraulic unit running, the oil pressure in the hydr. jacking tool may slowly be reduced with relief
valve EV at HP oil pump 94931, whereupon the fuel cam will loosen.
Dismantle all tools and remove bush and fuel cam.

Fitting the fuel cam

3.1

Numbering, distances and positioning angle of fuel cam


D

The numbering starts with fuel cam No. 1 , which is next to the camshaft
wheel 5.

Setting the distances of the fuel cams to each other is carried out with the aid
of distance holders 94563, 94563a and 94563b.

Distance x1 = 365 0.1 mm

Distance x2 = 200 0.1 mm

Distance x3 = 300 0.1 mm

Setting the positioning angles of the fuel cams to each other is carried out with
the aid of cam adjusting gear 94562, i.e. angle rail 94562a, guide tube 94562e
and positioning unit 94562f.
The appropriate tool is delivered for each engine.

The positioning angles of the fuel cams to the camshaft wheel is undefined.

All fuel cams are identical.

Remark: A fuel cam 2 and its bush 7 (Fig. A) form one unit and must not be interchanged! If necessary, both parts must therefore be replaced at the same time;
moreover they are only supplied together.

Application of lubricating device


Make sure that the ball valve 1 is closed.
If it is not already done, exchange blind flange 2 for new flange 2a (flange with
G1/2 thread).
Remove oil pipes 3 from the lubrication bores 4a/4b/4c.
Check that the filling device 94844a is installed correct (no contact with flange
7) into the lubrication bore 4a. Between the upper flange of the filling device
94844a and the surface of the supply unit should be a gap of 4mm to ensure
that the filling device does not touch the bottom of the lubrication bore. Check
that the filling devices 94844b / 94844c are installed correct into the lubrication bores 4b/4c. Between the upper flange of the filling device 94844b should
be a gap of 2mm to ensure that the filling device does not touch the bottom of
the lubrication bore. The flange 94844c on the surface ot the supply unit has
no clearance.
After install filling devices 94844a / 94844b / 94844c into the lubrication bores
4a/4b/4c tighten the four screws by hand (50 Nm).
Install the lubrication device 94844 with the cross union 94844e, the flexible
hoses 94844d and connect the hoses to the straight unions of the cross union
94844e and the filling devices 94844a / 94844b / 94844c, tighten the hose
clamps 5.
During lubrication time, remove inspection covers to check if the lubrication oil
is going through all bores and reaches the bearings.
Remark: Before operating the turning gear, carefully read and follow the remarks
mentioned on the warning plate 6.
Attention! Before taking the engine into operation, rebuild the supply unit in reverse sequence.

Checking the gas pre-charge pressure


Once filled with gas, the hydraulic accumulator is largely maintenance-free, however in order to ensure a trouble-free service, maintenance works must be carried
out according to the manufacturers detailed operating instructions of the Cylinder
Lubricating System. Checks and maintenance are only to be carried out, when
the engine is at standstill.
The same measurement set 94720c must always be used to refill the accumulator
as provided for checking the gas pre-charge pressure on the lubricating pumps
hydraulic actuators (see also 72181).
CHECK

Check the filling pressure at least once in the first week after start-up of the accumulator. If no loss of gas is observed, recheck after three months. If there is still no
change in pressure, an annual check might be sufficient, however, it is recommended to continue carrying out checks every three months.
Attention! Ensure that servo oil supply is shut off before starting accumulator
pressure checking and charging. Also no residual oil pressure in valve block must
be visible on pressure gauge 12 (PI2041L) of pressure reducing valve 8.111.

1.1

1.2

Preparation

Stop servo oil supply.

Close stop valve 14 between rail unit and pressure reducing valve (Fig. C).

Drain servo oil system by means of screw plug 13.


Screw plug 13 must remain open during entire checking / refilling procedure.

Remove protection cap 2 from accumulator 1.

Checking procedure
Close the three valves A, B and C on control unit 5.
Connect accumulator 1 to control unit 5 using short hose 4.
Open valve A and read pressure from gauge 7.
Required gas pressure: min. 20 bar / max. 25 bar.
If gas pre-charge pressure is ok:
Close valve A and drain remaining pressure in control unit by opening valve B.
Disconnect short hose from accumulator.
Refit protection cap.
Remark: During every check a small amount of gas may be lost to the atmosphere. Therefore, make sure a gas bottle is available before a pressure check is
made in order to refill possible loss.
If gas pre-charge pressure is not ok:
Refill the accumulator.

Refilling the accumulator


Measurement set 94720c must always be used to refill the accumulator.
The hydraulic accumulator may only be filled with super-clean, class 4.0 nitrogen,
99.99 % N2 by volume.
Remark: Check and refill the accumulators of the pressure reducing valves
(8.111 & 2) at free end and driving end at the same time on engines with 8 to 12
and 14 cylinders.

2.1

Refilling procedure
Fit pressure reducing valve 3 to nitrogen bottle 15 and adjust the pressure to
approx. 30 bar.
Close the three valves A, B and C on control unit 5.
Connect pressure reducing valve with long hose 4a to the right side (C), and
accumulator with short hose 4 to the left side (A) of control unit.
Open valve A and read pressure from gauge 7.
Slowly open valve C and refill accumulator to the required pressure of 25 bar.
Close valves A and C and drain remaining pressure in control unit by opening
valve B.
Disconnect hoses 4, 4a and refit all protection caps.

2.2

After checking or refilling procedure


Reopen stop valve 14 between rail unit and pressure reducing valve valve
(Fig. C).
Close screw plug 13.
After pressure checking and refilling the accumulator, ensure to run the servo oil
supply and vent air from the system before putting the pulse lubricating system into
operation (see Operating Manual 72181).

The admissible deviation between the individual fuel pumps is 0.1 mm.

If there are no pointers or incorrectly set ones fitted on the regulating shaft, an
easy alternative adjustment (cross check) can be carried out. I.e. a distance of
approx. 5 mm must result between pump housing and stop ring 10 with actuator shaft at pos. 0.
Rotate the actuator shafts while checking whether the fuel regulating linkages are
freely moveable over the whole regulating range.
Stop rings 10 must not touch the fuel pump housing in any of the end positions. A
possible correction can be carried out by adjusting screws 6.

Cleaning the scavenge air receiver


Cleaning and checking of the scavenge air receiver must always be carried out
after a piston overhaul. The inside of the scavenge air receiver has to be cleaned at
regular intervals.
CHECK

At this opportunity check whether drains 14 are not clogged, so that their function is
assured during operation (Fig. D).
During a major overhaul relief valve 15 must be checked. The valve is set to an
opening pressure of 4.1 $ 0.2 bar (relative).
Remark: Do not open the relief valve with disc springs! In case of any damages or
malfunctions please contact the manufacturer or Wrtsil Switzerland Ltd.

Checking / refilling the gas pre-charge pressure


Once filled with gas, the hydraulic accumulator is largely maintenance-free, however in order to ensure a trouble-free service, maintenance works must be carried
out according to the manufacturers detailed operating instructions of the Cylinder
Lubricating System. Checks and maintenance are only to be carried out, when
the engine is at standstill. Furthermore see also Operating Manual 72181.
CHECK

Check the pre-charge pressure directly after the installation of a new accumulator,
then at least once in the first week after start-up. Afterwards, check the pre-charge
pressure every three months.
Attention! Ensure that servo oil supply is shut off before starting accumulator
pressure checking and charging. Also no residual oil pressure in the servo oil supply line must be visible on pressure gauge PI2041L of pressure reducing valve
8.111.

1.1

Preparation before checking / refilling


Before starting any maintenance work, ensure that the servo oil supply unit is
switched off and the servo oil pressure is completely released.
In any case, when the accumulator has been removed the lubricating pump has to
be vented, see paragraph 2.2 Venting the lubricating pump.

Stop servo oil supply.

Close the stop valve 4.305 on servo oil rail 4.11 (Fig. D).

Drain the servo oil system at screw plug 12 of pressure reducing valve 8.111
(Fig. E).

Remark: Screw plug 12 must remain open during the entire checking / refilling
procedure.
1.2

Tools for pre-charge pressure checking / filling


For checking / filling the pre-charge pressure of the accumulator always use
the measurement set case 94720c!

Lubricating Pump CLU4: Checking / Refilling the Gas Pre-charge Pressure

1.3

Checking the pre-charge pressure on a new-type accumulator


For the below work procedure, the accumulator does not have to be disconnected
from the lubricating pump.
Remark: During every check a small amount of gas may be lost to atmosphere.
Therefore, in order to make up possible losses make sure a nitrogen bottle is available before a pre-charge pressure check is made.
Procedure for checking / refilling the gas pre-charge pressure:
Close the three valves A, B and C on control unit 6 (Fig. A).
Connect accumulator 1 to valve A using hose 4.
Open valve A and read the pressure on gauge 7.
Required pre-charge pressure: min. 20 bar / max 25 bar.
If pre-charge pressure is within the given limit, close valve A and vent remaining pressure in the control unit by opening valve B. Disconnect hose 4 from the
accumulator and refit protection cap 2.
If it is required to refill the accumulator, please continue to next point.
Remark: The accumulator may only be filled with super-clean, Class 4.0 nitrogen,
99.99% N2 by volume.
Connect pressure reducing valve 3 to nitrogen bottle 14 (Fig. B).
Connect pressure reducing valve to control unit 6 at valve C using hose 5 and
adjust the outlet pressure to approx. 30 bar.
Close the three valves A, B and C on the control unit.
Open valve A and read pressure from gauge 7.
Slowly open valve C and refill accumulator to the required pressure of 25 bar.
Close valves A and C and vent the remaining pressure in the control unit by
opening valve B.
Disconnect hoses 4 and 5, remove the tools and refit all protection caps.

2.2

Venting the lubricating pump


The lubricating pump has to be vented after refitting the accumulator.
The lubricating pump contains two vent plugs (Fig. C):

Vent plug 13 for the cylinder lubricating oil.

Vent plug 15 for the servo oil.

Required equipment:

Oil collection tray.

Cloth to wipe up escaping oil.

Venting the cylinder lubricating oil:


Place an oil collection tray beneath the lubricating pump.
Loosen vent plug 13 for the cylinder lubricating oil. For this, turn the plug
counter-clockwise a maximum of three turns.
Wait until bubble-free oil escapes at the vent plug.
Tighten the vent plug again.
Venting the servo oil:
Attention! The servo oil system is under high pressure. Oil may spurt out when the
screws are loosened. Do not loosen the vent plug more than three turns. Wear
safety goggles!
Proceed as follows to vent the servo oil section of the lubricating pump:
Place an oil collection tray beneath the lubricating pump.
Operate the lubricating system via manual lubrication or intermediate lubrication operation (for additional details see also the Operating Manual 72181).
This is only possible after the servo oil priming pressure has been achieved by
starting the servo oil pumps.
Loosen vent plug 15 for the servo oil. For this, turn the plug counter-clockwise
a maximum of three turns.
Wait until bubble-free oil escapes at the vent plug.
Tighten the vent plug again.

Exhaust Waste Gate (Low-Load Tuning)

1.

General
The Low-Load Tuning concept is based on the combination of a specifically designed turbocharging system setup and appropriately adjusted engine parameters related to fuel injection and exhaust valve control. This allows enhancing the
performance of engines while operating at low part loads, in particular in the range
up to 70% load, by realizing considerably reduced fuel consumption as well as lower thermal load and thus improved engine reliability.

2.

Maintenance
D

Butterfly valve 1 does not require special maintenenace. For a general inspection however, the instructions of the valve manufacturer must be followed.

To carry out a function check see 81351 in the Operating Manual and Maintenance Schedule 03801.

Check before assembly whether the inside of the hydraulic piping, sealing faces
DF of the piping ends, the seating surfaces of sealing rings 9 are clean and undamaged, and whether O-rings 18 (gaskets 14 if necessary) are in good condition.
D

Fitting together should be carried out axially, i.e. the objects to be connected
must not be moved closer together laterally, in order to avoid any damaging
of sealing faces DF.

Housing 8 or 8a (Fig. B) should be screwed on hydraulic piping 1 in such a


manner that after tightening screw 6 or 7 clearance x is about 3 mm.

Fasten holder 12 in longitudinal direction without stresses, i.e. providing the


corresponding shims.

Remark: If the hydraulic piping has been separated, the following must be additionally observed:

2008

Clean hydraulic piping and clamping flanges 15, 16 and fix them in such a
manner that clearance x is about 8 mm equally distributed after tightening
waisted screws 17.

Oil the threads and apply a torque of 70 Nm to the waisted screws and retighten these after 1000 operating hours.

After assembly open stop valve 2, fit and tighten drain screw 3.

applies as mentioned under paragraph 5.1. Please consider the special left-hand
thread M36x2 LH and therefore use tools 94870i, 94870j, 94870k and 94870l.
A defective fuel pressure pipe must always be replaced completely.
CHECK

Before fitting fuel pressure pipe, check whether their claws are screwed on properly, i.e. fuel pressure pipe 19 must protrude by x = 13.4 mm compared to the claw.

With regrinding device 94870


In order to achieve a clean and smooth sealing face the following regrinding process is recommended. For deep notches > 0.1 mm choose emery cloth of medium
to coarse grade. Once the deep notches have been ground off, use a fine or ultra
fine emery cloth.

G
Place template 94870h(I) on the back of emery cloth
EC .
94870h(I)

Trace inner contour using a pointed pencil or a ball


pen.
Cut out precisely the traced contour.

EC

Checking the clearance between shaft and internal bearing of the CAS
In case the CAS is over five years in service or has more than 48 000 operating
hours, it is recommended to check the condition of the CAS before a new belt version is installed. The CAS condition is checked by measuring the clearance between the shaft and internal CAS bearing.
Procedure for measuring the clearance:
Remove the protection hood 1 of the CAS drive (see Fig.B).
Remove the protection plate 10.
After loosening the screws 15a and 15, remove first the toothed belt of the outer CAS and then the toothed belt of the inner CAS.
After removing the toothed belt, tighten the screws 15a and 15 again.
Install the magnetic base with dial gauge MB as shown below.
Push the gear wheel of the CAS to the left and right direction.
The measurements X and Y have to be done in fixed condition of the outer and
inner CAS but without the toothed belts.
Read the deviation on the dial gauge while pushing the gear wheel of the CAS.
The average CAS clearance under normal working and in assembly condition must be less than 0.05 mm.

Replacement of toothed belt or CAS drive

10.1 Replacement of the toothed belt


The new toothed belt version must be used (Fig. E), which can be ordered separately as single part according to the Spare Parts Code Book.
Do not use the old toothed belt anymore.
10.2 Reasons for CAS drive replacement
There are two reasons which require a CAS drive overhaul:

High shaft eccentricity: To verify the eccentricity, see the paragraph 9.3.

Maintenance schedule: Work to be carried out at 48 000 operating hours.

Before carrying out the replacement of a CAS drive which is available as a standard spare part, a new CAS drive must be ordered unless a repair kit is available on
board.
The spare parts order number is to be found in the Spare Parts Code Book, Group
9, Chapter 96011, within item Crank Angle Sensor Unit and named Shaft encoder drive, complete or Shaft encoder, complete (box).
Remark! According to IACS regulations, at least one Shaft Encoder Package box
containing the spring balance is part of the standard spare parts supply per ship.

Tools
Explanation

1.

General
The tools required for erection and maintenance of the engine are divided into
three groups as per the following Tool List:

Standard tools

Recommended special tools

Special tools available on loan

When ordering additional tools or replacements, the tool No. as well as the tool
description including engine type must be indicated (see 94035).
Detailed instructions on the arrangement and application, storing, servicing and
maintenance of the hydraulic pre-tensioning jacks are given in 94032 to 94034.
When oil must be added to the hydraulic pumps, the specification regarding oil
quality issued by the pump manufacturers must be followed. Utilize generally an
engine lub. oil having viscosities SAE 30 to SAE 40.
A cylinder lubricating oil also can be used in exceptional cases.
A separate set of tools is issued for certain components from sub-suppliers, which
should also be stored separately from the engine tools.

2.

Standard tools
... are tools and devices required for normal maintenance work on the engine. In
this respect take into consideration that, depending on the design execution of the
engine, certain tools and devices which are mentioned in the above sheets are not
required for specific maintenance work, and are therefore not part of the engine
tools supply.

3.

Recommended special tools


... are tools and devices, which allow certain maintenance work to be done with
more ease, and in a shorter time, than with the standard tools.
These tools can be ordered separately either with the engine or at a later date.

4.

Special tools available on loan


... are such tools and devices which are loaned for transportation and for erection
of the engine. They are to be returned to the engine manufacturer after completion
of engine erection.

Hydraulic Pre-tensioning Jacks


Storing, Servicing and Maintenance

1.

General
The hydraulic pre-tensioning jacks forming part of the engine tool kit are to be
stored in their tool boxes when not in use, in a clean place, where they are protected from damage (after greasing them and closing the connections with dust
plugs). We recommend to always keep in stock a sufficient number of new O-rings,
back-up rings, piston seal rings and rod seal rings of the specified quality and dimensions.
When fitting new back-up rings, piston seal rings and rod seal rings proceed with
care, to avoid their damage; do not use any sharp edged utensils for assistance.
Heat unslit back-up and sealing rings which are used as piston seal rings in boiling
water before fitting them.

Hydraulic Pre-tensioning Jacks


General Application Instructions

1.

General
For distinct screwed connections different designs and sizes of waisted bolts or
waisted studs (bolts/studs) are used, which are pretensioned by hydraulic pre-tensioning jacks. The bolts/studs have threads which extend over the nut. The pretensioning jack is mounted on this thread end.
For each thread of the various bolts/studs a suitable pre-tensioning jack is supplied. Since the bolts/studs are pretensioned with the pre-tensioning jacks, the
nuts are threaded-on only manually until seated.
Prior to the mounting of the pre-tensioning jacks, their threads as well as the
threads of the waisted bolts/studs must be carefully cleaned. The threads must be
undamaged and freely working. Concerning utilization of lubricant for screwing on
nuts the instructions in 03521 must be followed.
Risk of accident! Always use gloves, a face shield and wear safety goggles when
working with hydraulic tools.

2.

Working procedure for loosening


Thread the pre-tensioning jack by hand onto the extending thread end of the
bolts/studs to be loosened until it is landed on the part and the piston on the
cylinder without any clearance. On pre-tensioning jacks with round nuts these
have to be slightly tightened.
D

Then, depending on the design of the pre-tensioning jack, turn it or the round
nut back by about to 4 turns. The clearance thus obtained between pre-tensioning jack and landing face of the part or piston and cylinder is essential,
before starting the pre-tensioning of the bolts/studs. It enables the loosening
of the nut till total relaxation of the bolts/studs in one single working sequence.

Connect the HP oil pump and pre-tensioning jack with the HP hose.
Open the vent screw on top of the pre-tensioning jack a little.
Shut relief valve at the HP oil pump and actuate it. As soon as oil flows out
bubble-free close the vent screw at the pre-tensioning jack.
D

When loosening attention should be paid that the pins of the pre-tensioning
jacks protrude slightly above the upper edges of the pistons (stroke limitation!).

Pre-tensioning jacks providing red limiting grooves on the pistons, the latter
must not exceed the indicated stroke limitation.

Raise the pressure about 2030 bar beyond the nominal pressure (see
03521). The nut is now slack, loosen it with a round bar, while keeping the
pressure constant.
Release the pressure at the HP oil pump and remove the pre-tensioning jack.

Hydraulic Pre-tensioning Jacks: General Application Instructions

3.

Working procedure for tensioning


Use a felt pen and mark the positions of the nuts, which already have been
firmly seated against their landings on the part. The marks are later a reference for judging the correct pre-tensioning.
Thread on by hand the pre-tensioning jack onto the protruding thread end of
the bolts/studs until it is fully seated without any clearance between the jack
and the part or the piston is seated on the cylinder without any clearance. On a
pre-tensioning jack with round nut tighten it lightly.
It may be necessary to turn the jack back a little to gain easy access through
the slot in the jack cylinder for manipulating a round bar to tighten the nut.
Connect HP oil pump and pre-tensioning jack by the HP hose.
Open the vent screw on top of the pre-tensioning jack a little.
Shut relief valve at the HP oil pump and actuate it. As soon as oil flows out
bubble-free close the vent screw at the pre-tensioning jack.
D

When tensioning attention should be paid that the pins of the pre-tensioning
jacks protrude slightly above the upper edges of the pistons (stroke limitation!).

Pre-tensioning jacks providing red limiting grooves on the pistons, the latter
must not exceed the indicated stroke limitation.

Raise the pressure with the HP oil pump, in accordance with the indication on
the tightening of important screwed connections (see 03521).
Maintain the oil pressure constant at the adjusted value and use the round bar
to tighten the nut onto its seating surface until firmly seated.
CHECK

Check with the feeler gauge whether actually no clearance remains between nut
and seating.
Check with the referenced markings, whether all the nuts of a screwed connection
have been turned by the same value as mentioned in 03521. If big differences are
noted their causes have to be investigated and the tensioning procedure must be
repeated.
Release the pressure at the HP oil pump and remove the pre-tensioning
jacks.
D

2008

For operation and maintenance of the HP oil pump we also refer to the
manufacturers documentation.
