Always wear protective clothing and eye protection when working with
cleaning solvents.
For more information about the type of cleaning solution that should be used, refer to Catalog, GECJ0001,
"Cat Shop Supplies and Hand Tools", "Chemicals/Lubricants".
NOTICE
All reconditioned components should be cleaned again before
assembly. Any debris or residue on the parts such as metal chips,
carbon deposits or sludge can enter the system. Debris or residue can
be the cause for early engine failure.
After the initial cleaning of the engine, disassemble the engine. Refer to the appropriate Disassembly and
Assembly manual for your engine.
NOTICE
A cylinder block that is not thoroughly cleaned will result in piston
seizure or rapid wear of the cylinder bores, pistons, and piston rings.
Only the thorough use of a rotary brush will correctly remove abrasive
particles.
2. Place the cylinder block in a hot spray wash cabinet. Adjust the nozzles in order to efficiently clean the
cylinder block.
3. Clean all of the gasket surfaces while the gaskets are wet. Use a scraper in order to remove the majority
of the gasket. Use the surface reconditioning pad in order to remove a gasket that is difficult. For more
information on surface reconditioning pads, refer to Catalog, GECJ0001, "Cat Shop Supplies and Hand
Tools", "Abrasive".
Note: If a surface reconditioning pad was used to remove the gasket, the component must be cleaned
again. The surface reconditioning pad will contaminate the component with parts of the gasket.
4. Even though the cylinder bore has been honed, clean the cylinder bore with a nylon brush. Refer to
Table 7 for the part numbers of the nylon brushes. In order to prevent corrosion from occurring, coat the
cylinder bore with clean SAE 30W oil.
5. Use one of the following brushes in order to clean the oil passages.

The top deck of the cylinder block will need to be machined after the inserts on the top deck and the inserts for
the coolant passages are installed. Machine the least possible material from the top deck. Do not machine the
top deck out of specifications. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF9007, "Specifications for Cylinder
Block Assemblies on C-Series Engines" for the specifications. Machining the top deck will also ensure the
correct flatness of the top deck.
If the top contact surface needs to be milled in order to remove any damage, the measurements must be within
original specifications. If the damage is not removed and the measurement is not within original specifications,
the cylinder block will need to be welded up to original specifications. Use the following process in order to
build the cylinder block up to original specifications.
Note: Wear a pair of clean cotton gloves when you handle the cylinder block. Contaminants will not allow the
thermal spray to bond properly.

During the disassembly of the engine, inspect the main bearings and the camshaft bearings. Excessive wear in
the bearings during a short period of time may be the result of a blocked oil passage. If necessary, inspect the
oil passages.
Inspect the bore for the main bearings. Inspect the main bearing cap. Use a dial bore gauge in order to measure
the bore. If necessary, the bore for the main bearings can be machined in order to accept oversized bearings.
Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF9007, "Specifications for Cylinder Block Assemblies on C-
Series Engines" for the specifications and procedures on measuring the bore for the main bearings. For part
numbers of the oversized bearings, refer to the Parts Manual for your engine.
Inspect the bore for the camshaft bearings. Use a dial bore gauge in order to measure the bore. Refer to Reuse
and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF9007, "Specifications for Cylinder Block Assemblies on C-Series Engines" for
the specifications and procedures on measuring the bore for the camshaft bearings.
Inspect the alignment of the main bearing bores. Use a boring machine in order to check the alignment of the
main bearing bores. If a boring machine is not available, use a long machinist's straightedge and a feeler gauge
in order to check the alignment of the bearing bores. The following procedure describes the use of a
machinist's straightedge and a feeler gauge in order to check the alignment:
Place a 0.038 mm (0.0015 inch) feeler gauge in the bore and then lay the straightedge across the feeler
gauge and several of bearing bores. Do not put pressure on the straightedge.
Check if the feeler gauge pulls out freely. If the feeler gauge pulls out freely, that bore is not in
alignment.
Use this procedure in order to check the alignment of each main bearing bore.
Note: The machinist's straightedge must be handled carefully in order to prevent nicks and burrs. Support the
cylinder block evenly so the measurements are accurate.

(3) Centering ring
(6) Bolt
In the procedure for setting up the boring bar, tighten the bolts on the bearing caps that have centering rings
from a minimum of 27 N·m (20.0 lb ft) to a maximum of 70 N·m (52.0 lb ft). Rotate the boring bar in order to
check for binding. All other bearing cap bolts should be tightened to the specifications in the service manual.
Place the cutting tool in the holder, and set the micrometer 1.78 mm (0.070 inch) less than the finished bore
diameter in order to set the tool bit.
Note: This setting may change for a standard or an oversized centering ring. Verify the dimensions after
machining has occurred and before the bearing caps are removed.
Cylinder Bores
The cylinder bores for the C-Series engines must meet the original specifications of the engines.
The C7 engine does not have cylinder liners. The remaining sales models have cylinder liners. For more
information about cylinder liners, refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF9122, "Specifications for
Cylinder Liner Measurements and Salvage for C-Series Engines".

Depending on the type of weld that is required, cast iron cylinder blocks can be welded. Welding cast iron
requires preheating. For more information on welding cast iron, refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines,
SEBF8882, "Using Lock-n-Stitch Procedures for Casting Repair" and Special Instruction, SEHS8919,
"Salvage Procedure for Cast Iron Cylinder Blocks".
Belzona can be used to repair porosity or pitting of the cylinder block. Instructions for obtaining the material
and for the application of material can be found in Special Instruction, REHS2133, "Cylinder Block Salvage
Procedure for Using Belzona Ceramic R Metal" or Special Instruction, SEHS8869, "Cylinder Block Salvage
Procedure for Using Belzona Ceramic R Metal".
Storage Procedures
Proper protection of the cylinder blocks from corrosion is very important. Corrosion will start in as little as one
hour after the cylinder blocks have been exposed.
Illustration 52 g01339742
When the cylinder blocks will not be inspected for one hour or less the cylinder blocks should be coated with a
rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil. The cylinder blocks should be individually wrapped
in order to prevent contamination, and the cylinder blocks should be stored in a protected area in order to avoid
damage.
When the cylinder blocks will not be inspected in two days or more the cylinder blocks should be coated with
a rust or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil and the cylinder blocks should be individually
wrapped. The wrapped cylinder blocks should be placed in a container which is clean and structurally solid.
The container should be covered or wrapped in plastic in order to prevent damage and contamination to the
cylinder block. See Illustration 54.
