Maintenance Section
Crankshaft Vibration Damper - Inspect
It is necessary
to remove the alternator, the
bracket for the alternator, and the drive belt. These
components must be removed in order to allow the
removal of the
water temperature regulator housing.
Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, SENR9537 for
the removal procedures for these components.
Replace the water temperature regulators while the
cooling system is completely drained or while the
cooling sys
tem coolant is drained to a level that is
below the water temperature regulator housing.
Refer to Ope
ration and Maintenance Manual,
“Cooling Syatem Coolant - Change” for information
on draining the cooling system.
NOTICE
Failure to replace the engine's water temperature reg-
ulator on a regularly scheduled basis could cause se-
vere engi
ne damage.
NOTICE
The water temperature regulators may be reused if the
water temperature regulators are within test specica-
tions, are not damaged, and do not have excessive
buildup of deposits.
NOTICE
Since Caterpillar engines incorporate a shunt design
cooling system, it is mandatory to always operate the
engine with a water temperature regulator.
Depending on load, failure to operate with a water
temperature regulator could result in either an over-
heating or an overcooling condition.
NOTI
CE
If the water temperature regulator is installed incor-
rectly, it will cause the engine to overheat.

Illustration 139
The crankshaft vibration damper can be viewed from
the right side of the engine compartment.
Damage to the vibration damper or failure of the
vibration damper will increase torsional vibrations.
These vibrations will result in damage to the
crankshaft and other engine components. A
deteriorating vibration damper will cause excessive
gear train noise at variable points in the speed range.
Caterpillar recommends replacing the vibration
damper for any of the following reasons.
The engine has had a failure because of a broken
crankshaft.
The S·O·S analysis detected a worn crankshaft
front bearing.
The S·O·S analysis detected a large amount of
gear train wear that is not caused by a lack of oil.
Continue to use the crankshaft vibration damper
if none of the above conditions are found or if the
damper is not damaged.
Refer to the Disassembly and Assembly, SENR9537,
“Crankshaft Vibration Damper and Pulley - Remove
and Install” in order to replace the vibration damper.
