1. When is the Caterpillar Dinner this week ?

2. When the engine is at top center #1 cylinder

compression stroke, how many injectors can be timed
without turning the crankshaft ?

___ALL

___1/2

___NONE
___NONE OF THE ABOVE

3. The fuel linkage has to be set in the reference position

for ALL limkage adjustments.

(T or F)

4. The valve bridges need to be adjusted every time the

valve lash is adjusted.

(T or F)

5. Why must the linkage be adjusted between the governor

and the control house ?

___To reduce linkage deadband in the governor

shutoff position

___To synchronize the air-fuel ratio control to the

engine

___To prevent engine overspeed on startup

___To improve governor stability at low idle

___All of above

6. All the valve bridges can be adjusted without rotating

the crankshaft.

(T or F)

7. Holes have to be drilled and tapped in the top of a piston

before it can be removed.

(T or F)

8. When installing a piston, a “V”(or “X”) mark on the

piston must be aligned with a “V” (or “X”) mark stamped
on the engine block to:

___Prevent piston interference with the crankshaft

___Prevent piston interference with the piston cooling

jet

___Make installation easier

___Permit installation of the piston and liner as a kit

9. The unit injector must be removed with a pry bar.

(T or F)

10. The proper tensioning pressure for all cylinder heads

is:

___30,000 kPa (4350 psi)

___35,000 kPa (5075 psi)

___40,000 kPa (5800 psi)

11. The priority valve controls engine oil pressure by:

___Bypassing lube oil to the pump inlet

___Bypassing filtered oil into the sump

___Bypassing unfiltered oil into the sump

___Bypassing both filtered & unfiltered oil to the sump

12. When changing oil filter elements with the engine

running, which statement is true:
___The filter change valve can be rotated directly from

the service position to the run position

___ The oil filters will drain completely if given enough

time with the drain valve open

___The filter change valve must be rotated to the fill

position and the pressure in both filters equalized

before it can be rotated to the run position

13. The inlet valve faces are lubricated:

___By natural oil flow past the valve stems guide

___By spray nozzles in the manifold connected

directly to the lube oil supply

___By a low volume metering pump and lines that

inject a small amount of oil into the inlet manifold

___All of the above

14. A pressure relief valve in the lube system priority valve

gives the priority valve additional bypass capability if oil
pressure exceeds 150 psi (1035 kPa).

(T or F)

15. The oil pump is driven at approximately 1.5 times

engine speed.

(T or F)

16. The engine oil pump from a reverse rotation engine can
not be made to work on a standard rotation engine.

(T or F)

17. The gauges in the oil filter covers measure oil filter
differential pressure.

(T or F)

18. The centrifugal oil filters are bypass type filters and can
only be serviced with the engine stopped.

(T or F)

19. On Vee engines the camshaft segments in the left side

are different than those in the right side.

(T or F)

20. The camshaft segments in the in-line engine will be the

same as the segments in the left or right side of the Vee
engine, depending on whether it is a standard or reverse
rotation engine.

(T or F)

21. How many cooling systems does Caterpillar provide ?
