| HEAD GASKET SELECTION FOR 1.9L DIESEL |
Head Gasket Selection For
1982-99 Peugeot 1.9L XUD9 Diesel Engines
The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information for the head gasket selection for the 1982-99 Peugeot XUD9 diesel engines. This information should be considered anytime head gasket replacement is occurring.
Four different head gasket thickness options are currently available and they replace all previous head gasket selections. These gaskets provide a greater variety of gasket thickness options to choose from. Selecting the correct replacement head gasket will ensure proper engine specifications are maintained during engine repairs.
Selecting a replacement head gasket requires measuring the amount of piston protrusion above the deck of the block. After determining the piston height, select the appropriate replacement gasket from the chart below. The gaskets are further identified by a different number of notches on one end of each gasket.
Note: The charts in the original service manuals are no longer valid.
Part # Piston Protrusion Gasket thickness Notches
94-8132 .56mm-.0220/ .71mm-.0279 1.48mm-.0580 2
94-8133 .71mm-.0279/ .75mm-.0295 1.52mm-.0600 3
94-8134 .75mm-.0295/ .79mm-.0311 1.58mm-.0620 4
94-8135 .79mm-.0311/ .83mm-.0326 1.62mm-.0637 5
Add this chart to older Peugeot service and overhaul manuals (if applicable) and this information should also be used on Toro Reelmaster® 335-D/3500-D and Groundsmaster® 455-D units.

| AUXILIARY SHAFT NUT CAUTION ON 1989-2002 MACK ENGINES |
Auxiliary Shaft Nut Caution On
1989-2002 Mack E7, E-Tech & ASET Engines
The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information regarding an auxiliary shaft nut caution on 1989-2002 Mack E7, E-Tech & ASET engines. Mack has used three different styles of retaining nuts during production of these engines. It is important that when the nuts are removed that they are installed correctly to prevent auxiliary shaft damage.
The following information provides a way to identify the retaining nuts as well as installation instructions for each.
v The retaining nut shown in Figure 1 is machined on both sides and then phosphate coated. All surfaces of this nut are black in color. Since both faces of the nut are machined, it does not matter which face of the nut is installed against the auxiliary shaft gear. The vendor ID stamping is located on one of the flats of the nut.
v The retaining nut shown in Figure 2 is machined on one side only and then phosphate coated. All surfaces of this nut are black in color. The vendor?s identification (TVS) in 3/16" letters is stamped on the un-machined side of the nut. These nuts must be installed with the machined side against the auxiliary shaft gear. The vendor stamping must face away from the auxiliary shaft.
v The retaining nut shown in Figure 3 is phosphate coated first and then machined on one side only. When the nut is machined and the coating is removed, the machined surface will be shiny and the other surfaces will remain black. These nuts must be installed with the shiny side toward the auxiliary shaft gear.
Retaining nuts supplied by Mack have a pre-applied thread locking compound on the threads of the nut. If a nut is obtained without the thread locking compound or an existing nut is being re-installed, the use of Loctite® 271 or 277 must be applied for installation on the auxiliary shaft. Clean any oil from the threads of the nut and the auxiliary shaft prior to applying the thread locking compound. All nuts tighten to a torque spec of 300 ft/lbs (405 Nm).

| VALVE CROSSHEAD CLEARANCE |
Valve Crosshead To Rocker Lever Clearance On
NH, NT & V-1710 Series Cummins Engines
Valve crosshead nose to rocker lever clearance on the subject engines must be checked during engine rebuild and at any time valve crossheads are replaced on engines using crossheads No. 123416 & 3000326. A minimum of .020 (.51 mm) clearance must be present as illustrated in Fig. 1, on the cylinder being checked with valves completely closed and crosshead in the upmost position. After installing rocker lever assemblies, check crosshead to rocker lever clearance as follows:
1. Turn crankshaft slowly in direction of rotation until the valves are closed on the cylinder being checked. With rocker lever held firmly against the stellite pad of the crosshead, a .020 (.51 mm) wire type feeler gauge must pass between the crosshead nose and the lower beam section of the rocker lever.
2. If the feeler gauge does not pass through:
a. Remove the rocker lever and/or crosshead and grind the nose of the crosshead or rocker lever beam in the area circled in Fig. 1 until enough clearance is obtained.
b. If the rocker is ground, grinding should cover the complete area illustrated in Fig. 2 in a continuous arc. Do NOT grind just the contact area.
Caution: A sharp depression in this area will cause a stress riser and eventual failure of the lever. Grind only enough material to achieve the required clearance. If grinding enters the oil passage, the rocker lever must be junked.
c. Grind sharp edges smooth.

| CRANKSHAFTS INDUSTRIAL |
Crankshafts Used In Industrial Applications On
GM (Chevrolet) 5.7L (350 CID) Engines
When the GM (Chevrolet) 5.7L (350 CID) industrial engine is used in some applications such as lift trucks, the only crankshaft that is applicable has the forging number 1182. Dimension A of the rear flange is slightly smaller than that of other crankshafts used in General Motors 5.7L (350 CID) engines.
The larger flange crankshafts will not pass through the center hole of the bell housing. This is very critical when an oil clutch system is used.

| BURNED EXHAUST VALVES |
Burned Exhaust Valves, Low Power & Hard Starting On
Cummins NH & NT Engines With Jacobs Brake 25B & 30
Cummins Engine Co. reported that if the following complaints are experienced in the NH and NT engines equipped with Jacobs brakes, the slave piston clearance should be checked:
A. Exhaust valve burning
B. Low engine power when at operating temperature
C. Engine hard to start or will not start at operating temperature
A standard slave piston adjustment of .018 +/- .001 has been established. The .018 clearance setting is a cold setting which results in zero slave piston to crosshead clearance when the engine is at operating temperature.
Should the slave piston clearance setting be less than .018, the following conditions outlined in A, B or C above may result as well as affect breaking power.
If the slave piston clearance is greater than .018 +/- .001, the following problems may occur:
1. Engine injector train component problems
2. Injector carboning
3. Bent injector push rods
4. Worn injector adjusting screws
5. Decreased camshaft life
6. Cam follower and follower shaft failure
7. Delay in breaking action
If the above problems are experienced and the engine is equipped with a Jacobs brake, the slave piston clearance should be checked with the latest Cummins specifications.

| NEW CYLINDER LINER O-RINGS |
New Cylinder Liner O-Ring Seals On
Cummins NH/NT 6 Cylinder Engines
Cummins Engine Company has released new O-ring seals for the cylinder liners in NH/NT 6 cylinder engines. The new seals are made of an EP material and have a smaller diameter cross-section.
The new seal replaces both the old center seal #3008998 and the old lower seal #183049. The new seal carries Cummins part #3032874 and is black in color with one blue dot.
The new O-ring seals are not to be intermixed with the former seals on the same liner. Cylinder liner deformation will result. You can use the former seals and new seals in the same engine as long as they are used in the correct combinations on each liner. The illustration below shows the correct combinations.

| OIL IN COOLANT |
Oil in Cooling System on
VW 1.5L & 1.6L Diesel Engines
AERA members have reported instances of engine oil in the cooling system on VW 1.5L diesel engines. According to AERA sources, the problem is related to a crack in the cylinder head bolt hole located near the oil gallery feeding the cylinder head.
The oil feed gallery in the block is located on one side of the center head bolt hole and a coolant jacket is on the opposite side of the bolt hole. Pressurized engine oil is diverted through a slot in the head gasket and is feed up the side of the head bolt to the cylinder head. The oil also follows the bolt back down to the bottom of the bolt hole. Should the crack in the head bolt hole extend to the coolant jacket, oil can mix with engine coolant.
This problem is generally found on engines equipped with 11mm head bolt holes. Later design engines utilize 12mm head bolts and do not exhibit this defect. At the time of this writing no successful repair procedure is available.
