This Service/Parts Topic is a revision to Procedure 204-008 for General Cleaning Instructions.

New General Cleaning Instruction Page 9 of 9

Considerable concern has been generated at both the factory and the field about engine
failures that occur a short time after an in-frame repair. Analysis of returned parts indicates
many of the failures are the result of dirt entering the engine during the repair. In particular,
intensive investigation of failures of ISX engines rod and main bearings very soon after field
repairs of the oil coolers, front gear cover, or cylinder head has shown that 30 percent of the
failures are due to contamination of some main oil drillings. Investigation into the type and
source of the contamination indicates it is appropriate to remind, review, and revise parts
cleaning instructions for all engines.

The statement A person can spend too much time cleaning parts but a person can not get
them too clean is even more relevant as customer expectations and regulatory requirements
increase. These demands coupled with increased diesel engine product complexity place more
pressure on the field technician in terms of time required to perform a quality repair. In a effort
to reduce customer downtime, many different labor saving devices, techniques, and shortcuts
are being used to meet customer expectations. However, some of the shortcuts and labor
saving efforts are the very things that can cause contamination of internal engine components
that lead to additional failures.

Attached is the revised General Cleaning Instructions that will be placed in all service
publications where those instructions are included. Field shops are strongly encouraged to
review these instructions with all technicians and to include general cleaning instructions in
technician training programs and new technician orientation programs.

NOTE: This is a product improvement not subject to campaign.
