 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Note: The charts in the original service manuals are no longer valid.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

 OVERSIZE CAMSHAFT HOUSING BORES ON 6.2L DIESEL
               Oversize Camshaft Housing Bores on
                GM 6.2L (379 CID) Diesel Engines


AERA members have reported finding oversize camshaft bearing
housing bores on GM 6.2L (379 CID) diesel engines.

The cylinder blocks in question featured cam bearing bores that
were .005 (.013 mm) oversize.  At this time no oversize bearings
are available from any manufacturer.  Standard bearings can be
modified to be used in oversize bores by knurling or actually
plating metal to the outside diameter of the bearing.  See AERA
Technical Bulletin TB 505 for additional information on this
topic.

Use the following chart of specifications to verify the cam
bearing housing bore diameter of the GM 6.2L (379 CID) diesel
cylinder block.


Bore Location  US Diameter         Metric Diameter

#1             2.3270 - 2.3290    59.106 - 59.157 mm

#2             2.3180 - 2.3200    58.877 - 58.928 mm

#3             2.3080 - 2.3100    58.623 - 58.674 mm

#4             2.2980 - 2.3000    58.369 - 58.420 mm

#5             2.1410 - 2.1430    54.381 - 54.432 mm


Oversize cam bearing bores are becoming more common as OE
manufacturers salvage castings that are not machined to
specifications the first time around.  Be sure to inspect all
cylinder blocks to be remanufactured to safeguard against costly
mistakes.

 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.




                                                                   The AERA Technical Committee
 
 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.

                                                                     The AERA Technical Committee
 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.

                                                                     The AERA Technical Committee
 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.

                                                                       The AERA Technical Committee
 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.

                                                                       The AERA Technical Committee
