Summary
This guideline and other applicable guidelines should be used to determine if the roller lifters can be
used again.

A lifter will create a specific wear pattern on the camshaft lobe. Each lifter and each camshaft lobe
will have a similar wear pattern at the point of contact.

Used lifters should be installed in the original bores and the original orientation during assembly. If
this practice is not followed, the difference in wear patterns can result in a faster rate of wear or
failure. To ensure proper assembly, mark each lifter during disassembly for positive identification of
the correct location and orientation during assembly.

NOTICE

Never permit lifters to become mixed or install them against a different


lobe. This will result in a faster wear rate or failure. Never install a
used lifter with a new camshaft.

Cleaning Procedure
The roller lifters can be cleaned with any high quality cleaning solution with a petroleum base. The
use of diesel fuel is acceptable because diesel provides lubrication. Cleaners that dry oil do not protect
the parts after cleaning because less lubrication is provided.

Make sure that the cleaning solution is clean since the clearances in roller lifters are very close. A
cleaning solution that is contaminated can cause foreign material or debris to get between the pin and
the roller, thus causing damage or premature failure.

Basket for cleaning parts

Illustration 1 shows a basket that is used to hold roller lifters during the process of cleaning. Each
compartment in the rack is numbered so that the roller lifters can be installed again in the original
locations.

Prior to the installation of the lifter, use an oil can with clean oil to lubricate the roller pin. Use the
lube port to pump the oil into the roller. If the lube passage in the lifter body is not plugged, clean oil
will flow from the clearance between the pin and the roller and from the forks of the lifter body at
location (1) in Illustration 2.

The roller lifters from 3500A engines may not be pressure lubricated. Lifters that are not pressure
lubricated will not have the lube port on the side of the filter. In that case, the roller lifters should be
submerged in an oil bath for at least one hour. The best method is to hang the roller lifters in a vertical
manner. This is the orientation the lifters would have in an engine. This method ensures that oil fills

the space between the roller pin and the roller. This method can be carried out by making a tank and a
rack that holds the roller lifters for one complete engine.

Wear Limits
Maximum wear limits have been established to aid in determining the reusability of roller lifters. Use
the following information along with Illustration 3 to determine reusability.

Illustration 3 g01738822

Refer to Table 3 for specifications on maximum allowable movement.

Note: For directions (A) and (B), measure along the centerline of the roller.

Some early injector lifters from the 3500B series of engines were ground to 34.915 mm (1.3746 inch) minimum
diameter. These injector lifters can be reused if wear has not reduced the diameter below 34.915 mm (1.3746 inch).

The roller lifter should not have nicks, dents, or scratches. Check for any damage that causes any form
of raised material on outside diameter (J) of the body of the roller lifter. Minor wear and damage can
be removed by polishing. The outside diameter must be greater than the specification for the
minimum diameter. The minimum diameter is shown in Table 3.

General Inspection
1. Used lifters cannot be used on a new camshaft. A new camshaft requires the use of new lifters.
Used lifters can only be used with the original camshaft. Always install used roller lifters in the
original bores with the original orientation.

2. New rollers can be installed on a used camshaft if the camshaft does not have wear on the lobe
that can be easily seen or felt. The original lifter must have had a typical pattern or a normal
pattern of smooth wear. If either the lifter or the camshaft has experienced heavy wear,
Caterpillar recommends installing a replacement camshaft.

3. Do not use any lifters that operated against damaged lobes.

4. Check the roller for excessive movement. Do not reuse any rollers that are loose. Do not reuse
any rollers that do not turn smoothly.

Visual Inspection

Illustration 5 g01742913

8S-2257 Loupe used for visual inspection

1. Check for damage to the surface. There must be no pits, corrosion, or smeared material on
contact surfaces. Inspect each lifter carefully with the 8S-2257 Loupe , as shown in Illustration
5. Surfaces that seem to be acceptable can have very small pitting or defects that cannot be seen
without magnification. If the surface is free of defects, circumferential wear patterns are
acceptable unless the patterns can be felt with a fingernail.

Illustration 6 g01743195

(12) The hole in the pin is aligned with the hole in the fork.

(13) The hole in the pin is more than 2 degrees from a vertical centerline.

2. There have been reports of damage to roller lifters after an engine has exceeded the maximum
rpm limit. This condition is called overspeeding. Overspeeding has been shown to cause the
roller pin to move sideways. Overspeeding can also cause the pin to rotate in the forks of the
lifter. The pin uses an interference fit in the forks of the lifter and the pin is installed recessed
0.50 ± 0.25 mm (0.020 ± 0.010 inch) from the side. During rebuilding process of the engine,

inspect the pin in order to determine whether the pin has rotated from the initial position as
shown in Illustration 6. The small hole in the end of the pin must still be aligned within 2
degrees of the vertical lifter. If the hole in the pin is more than 2 degrees from the vertical
centerline, the lifter cannot be used again.

3. Inspect the end that is opposite of the roller. Make sure that the insert is in the bore of the roller
lifter. Make sure that there is no damage to the lifter body or the insert.

Illustration 10 g01746656

This lifter has damage from corrosion to the roller. This roller was allowed to get wet and the moisture caused rust. The
roller cannot be used again because the rust is in a highly loaded area. The roller will crush from fatigue at the rust
locations.

Do not reuse the lifter.

Handling and Storage Damage

Scratches can easily occur when poor handling or storage procedures are used. If the scratches are
shallow, the roller can be lightly polished and used again. The polishing procedure should not use
abrasive materials. The polishing procedure should not cause a change in the diameter of the roller. If
the scratches are not shallow, the roller should not be used again. Shallow scratches cannot be felt
with a fingernail.

Illustration 11 g01746736

Scratches on the roller from improper handling

Reuse the lifter.

Note: Polishing can cause flat spots on the roller. Dents or nicks can also be found due to poor storage
and poor handling. If there is raised material around the damage, the material must be removed by
polishing. The roller lifter may be reused if the diameter of the body is within the diameter limits
listed in Table 3. Reuse the lifter only if scratches or dents are shallow.

Wear of the Roller

This example shows frosting, which is a result of micro-spalling. Note that there are circumferential
lines and horizontal lines of frosting.

Frosting of the roller

Do not reuse the lifter.

Note: For additional information on failures of roller elements, refer to the applied failure analysis
reference book,, SEBV0562, "Anti-Friction Bearings".

The next four examples show typical wear. The bright appearance and the polished appearance are
typical. The circumferential scratches are usually the result of dirt or debris.

This is a typical example of damage caused by pin wear or roller wear.

Do not reuse the lifter.

Wear on the Body

The following examples all show typical wear. The wear areas on the body of the roller lifter may
take several forms from dull and scratched to bright and polished. The areas of wear should be
polished in order to remove any raised material from the scratches.

The diameter of the body should be measured after the lifter has been polished.

Illustration 22 g01750813

Typical wear to the body

Reuse the lifter.

The wear pattern stops in a straight line in these examples. These roller lifters can be used again
unless a wear step can be felt with a fingernail. The areas of wear should be polished in order to
remove any raised material from the scratches. After the polishing procedure, the diameter of the
body should be measured. This measurement will make sure that the diameter is within the specified
limits.
