Preface

The instructions contained in this ”Maintenance Manual” are intended to help to


ensure that the maintenance which must be carried out at specific intervals is cor-
rectly carried out.
It is a precondition that the personnel charged with such important work possesses
the necessary training and experience.
Information about the operation of the engine as well as descriptions of the func-
tion of the various systems are part of a separate book, the ”Operating Manual”
containing also under 0010−1 explanations of the layout and structure of the Oper-
ating and Maintenance Manuals as well as of the used symbols, signs and special
characters.
More detailed instructions on the operation and maintenance of components from
sub-suppliers can be gathered from the instruction leaflets of the respective
manufacturers. Outside makes are, for example, such engine components, tools
or devices which are not manufactured in accordance with production drawings
from Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd.
The ”Maintenance Manual” is divided into the following main chapters:

− General guidelines for maintenance


− Clearance tables, tightening values of screwed connections, masses
(weights), seal rings
− Maintenance schedule
− Design groups
− Tool lists

A few explanations to the above:


− The ’General Guidelines for Maintenance’ contain, in addition to recommen-
dations on precautionary measures to be taken, also suggestions for carrying
out the work.
− The above mentioned tables inform about normal and maximum acceptable
clearances, the tightening of important screwed connections, weights of indi-
vidual engine components as well as the type and use of various sealing rings.
− The ’Maintenance Schedule’ indicates nominal intervals in which various
maintenance operations are to be carried out. Please note that the mainte-
nance intervals are based on experience and are subject to operation of the
engine under standard conditions.
− Detailed instructions are given in the ’Design Groups’ on the procedure of
maintenance work on certain engine parts.
− Tools and devices necessary to carry out maintenance are described in the
’Tool Lists’, and are generally supplied with the engine.
All information contained in the text and illustrations of this manual are valid at the
time of printing.
Modifications will be incorporated in the next edition!

1. General

The maintenance work which is required to be carried out on the engine at regular
intervals is described in the Maintenance Schedule 0380−1 of this manual and is to
be understood as a general guide. The maintenance intervals are dependent on
the mode of operation, on the power as well as on the quality of the fuel used. Fur-
ther details are set out in the maintenance schedule.
Experience will show whether the intervals may be extended or need to be short-
ened.
Strict compliance with the below mentioned recommendations regarding
safety measures and maintenance work is mandatory; the recommenda-
tions are not exhaustive.

2. General safety precautions

D It is the operator’s duty to assure that all personnel is familiar with all safety,
health as well as environment protection rules released for operating and
maintaining a diesel engine plant. In particular greatest attention has to be giv-
en to the functioning, handling and dangers of cranes and lifting devices.
D The safety officer has to make sure that all precautions have been taken in
order to avoid dangerous situations.
D The operator has to nominate a person responsible for assigning work tasks
to every person who is participating in maintenance work.
D Make sure that fluids or gases draining or escaping cannot cause accidents,
fires or explosions during maintenance work. Keep the engine and the sur-
roundings clean. Cleanliness increases the quality of the work and helps to
prevent accidents.
Before beginning maintenance work on the diesel engine the corresponding
systems which are influenced by the maintenance work must be relieved of
pressure and/or drained if necessary. A protocol must be established evi-
dencing these activities.
D Certain media, i.e. fuels etc., are highly inflammable, therefore all precaution-
ary measures have to be taken that they do not come into in contact with fires,
glowing or hot parts. Smoking in the engine room is strictly forbidden.
Special attention has to be paid to the rules of fire fighting.
Make absolutely sure that in case of fire alarm no fire extinguishing gases can
be released into the engine room while people are still inside. Emergency es-
capes are to be marked and personnel is to be instructed of what to do in case
of fire.
D Oils and other media can cause slippery surfaces. In order to avoid injury all
surfaces which can be stepped on must be kept clean and dry.
Attention! Do not use water or any cleaning fluid to clean the WECS electronic
components and control boxes on the engine as well as on the rail unit. Damage
can occur if water goes into these electronic components or control boxes.

Safety Measures and Warnings

3. Precautionary measures before beginning of maintenance work

Before starting any maintenance work on the engine (particularly on the running
gear), take the following precautionary measures:
⇒ Close the shut-off valves on the starting air bottles.
⇒ Close all the shut-off valves in the control air supply unit, and open the drains
on both air bottles until it is depressurized.
⇒ Close by hand the (automatic) shut-off valve for starting air and open the vent
and drain valve to the main starting air piping on the engine as well as the vent
valves on the shut-off valve for starting air, and leave them in this position until
maintenance work is completed.
⇒ Open all indicator cocks on the cylinder covers and leave them in this position
until maintenance work is completed.
⇒ Engage turning gear (gear pinion must be in engaged position) and lock the
lever. (see also 3206−1 and 0750−1 in the operating Manual).
D Where the engine has been stopped due to overheated running gear or
bearings, wait at least 20 minutes before opening the crankcase doors.
D The crankcase doors must always be locked with all the clamps when-
ever the engine is running, even if this is only for a short time in order to
make temperature checks (e.g. after changing bearings during an overhaul,
etc.).
D In the case of a fire in the engine having been extinguished by means of CO2,
the spaces affected must be well ventilated before work can be carried out
within them.
Attention! When performing electric welding near or on the engine, electromag-
netic fields or peak voltage may occur, which may damage the electronic compo-
nents of the WECS (Wärtsilä Engine Control System).
Therefore, prior to performing electric welding in the vicinity of the mentioned com-
ponents, the following precautions must be taken:
D Stop the engine if it is in operation.
D Power off the electronic system and wait one minute.
D If the welding point is within a radius of two metres from an electronic module
and/or a sensor, disconnect the modules and/or sensors.
D Close the covers of all electric boxes and protect cables, sensors, etc. against
sparking and heat.
D Shield the check and control units with a conductive material and connect
them to earth.
D Run the welding cable from the welding apparatus directly to the welding point
without any unnecessary loops; also, avoid leading the welding cable parallel
to cables of the electronic control unit.

Safety Measures and Warnings

4. Special safety measures

D Prior to turning the crankshaft with the turning gear, make sure and take no-
tice:
− that no person is inside the engine and no loose parts, tools or devices
can get jammed.
− bear in mind that the coupled propeller turns too (danger in surround-
ings).
− that lubricating device 94844 has been installed to prevent bearing
bushes of the servo oil pump drive in the supply unit from being damaged
(dry running) due to turning the engine during overhaul works.
D At all times when somebody is inside the engine casing another person must
stand by in order that he can give the necessary aid if something unexpected
happens to the person inside the engine. The person who is inside the engine
casing must be equipped with all safety gears which are required to prevent
suffocation within the limited space and atmospheric conditions. Moreover an
antifall guard must be carried at dangerous places!
D The allowed load capacity of the engine room crane, the lifting tools, ropes
and chains must be sufficient for the parts to be lifted (see 0012−1 and
0360−1).
Pay also attention to the weight distribution and attachment of the lifting tackle
in order that the part which must be lifted cannot tip over or crash down!
D Sharp edges, mating faces etc. as well as ropes are to be protected by wood-
en pieces, leather or special edge guards which are placed between the part
and the rope or chain.
D Always use gloves, a face shield and wear safety goggles when working with
hydraulic tools.
D For your own safety keep away from under hanging loads, never undersling
hanging parts with your fingers or hands and never embrace lifting ropes with
your hands.
D Removed parts must be secured in the engine room.
D For reasons of safety, openings resulting from removed engine components
must be closed!
Remark: For further instructions see also Safety Precautions and Warnings (Gen-
eral Information) 0210−1 in the Operating Manual.

5. Recommendations for performing work

D Pay attention to Utilization of Working Platform 3301−1.


D Carry out all work carefully, observing utmost cleanliness!
D For maintenance work on the engine use the tools and devices intended for
the particular job, which, as a rule, are supplied with the engine (see tool list at
the end of this manual).
⇒ Tools and devices must be made ready prior to use, make sure they are in
perfect condition.
⇒ Calibrate gauge tools before using and at periodical intervals.
⇒ Check hydraulic tools periodically for tightness and perfect functioning.
⇒ Protect running faces and sealing faces of removed parts by suitable means
to prevent damages.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 3/ 4 2008


0011−1/A1 Maintenance RT-flex84T-D

Safety Measures and Warnings

⇒ Close all openings which form when certain parts are removed e.g. pipes, oil
holes etc. to prevent dirt from entering the engine. (This includes also the
pipes which are removed).
⇒ Check all repaired, overhauled or replaced parts for perfect functioning before
starting the engine.
⇒ Check all pipes which have been removed, for tightness after they are refitted.
⇒ Clearances of moving parts must be checked periodically. Should the maxi-
mum permissible values (see Clearance Table 0330−1) have been reached or
even exceeded, these parts must be replaced.
⇒ Arrange to replace all parts taken from spares stock. When ordering new
parts refer to the Code Book, mention code numbers and description.
D When tightening studs, nuts or screws, take the utmost care not to damage
their thread. They must be screwed in by hand until metal to metal contact is
achieved. Always use the specified lubricants on the threads.
D Adhere to tightening values wherever they are indicated. Use the specified
lubricant on the threads (see 0352−1 and 0352−2).
D Locking devices of bolts, nuts, etc. must be fitted correctly and secured prop-
erly. Use locking plates and locking wires only once.
D For threads of screws and studs which are getting very hot, (i.e. exhaust pipe
or turbocharger fastenings) apply a high temperature resistant lubricant be-
fore assembly, to prevent a heat seizure.
D Used rubber rings must always be replaced by new ones when an overhaul of
any engine component takes place; they must conform in dimension and
quality to the specifications in the 0370−1.
The fitting of piston seal rings and rod seal rings requires the greatest of care
to prevent damage, over expansion or deformation. Before fitting the rings
heat them first in boiling water.

General Guidelines for Lifting Tools
Wire Rope Slings, Span-sets, Eye bolts, etc.

1. General

The permissible capacities of the engine crane, lifting tools, ropes, chains, lifting
eye bolts, etc. must always correspond with the weights of the parts to be lifted
(see also Masses (Weights) 0360−1).
Remark: The admissible lifting (max. loading) capacity in kg corresponds to the
WLL = Working Load Limit.
For fitting and removal of engine components or their transportation, only the tools
which are in perfect condition and intended for this purpose may be used. Ropes
which have begun tearing or otherwise are defective and tools which are damaged
have to be exchanged.
For safe and proper handling of crane, suspension tools or transport of loads we
recommend to proceed as follows for safety reasons:
D Determination of the weight of load
D Determination of the suspension centres and weight distribution
D Choice of attachment elements
D Attaching and disconnecting

2. Attachment elements

2.1 Wire rope slings


The lifting capacity of the wire rope slings is listed under their tool number in Tools
List 9403−5.

2.2 Span-sets
Span-sets have the advantage of easy and simple handling. The code and the
colour normally indicate the maximum admissible total load. Loops and knots in
the span-sets reduce their lifting capacity by one third.

2.3 Eye bolts and eye nuts


Only those eye bolts and eye nuts may be used which are in accordance with DIN
580 & 582:2003−08 or which fulfil or exceed these values, including the safety
factor.
All calculations for components and tools where eye bolts and eye nuts are used
are laid out accordingly and based on the mentioned standards.

M56 11 500 8300

Remarks: The details listed in the table above are based on DIN 580 &
582:2003−08, requiring that the eye bolt or the eye nut:
− is completely turned in or screwed down;
− lies flat and fully on the seating surface;
− was checked for visible damages (e.g. corrosion, deformation) before using it.
− 1) Fullload is only permissible in the direction of the ring, therefore the
eye bolts or eye nuts must be brought to the right position, if necessary by us-
ing distance rings.
D If there are through holes, a washer should be placed from the opposite side
under the nut or screw head.
D Whenever possible, do not apply an angle of inclination bigger than 45° (in all
directions with regard to the ring level), and especially avoid lateral pulling!
D For varying use on different objects to be carried, eye nuts or eye bolts with
thread diameters one size higher should be used.

2.4 RUD-eye bolts and RUD-swivel lugs


Only those RUD-eye bolts & RUD-swivel lugs may be used with a safety factor 4.

2.4.1 Remarks on the use of RUD-eye bolts


− they must be completely screwed down, lying fully on the seating surfaces.
− they are hand-screwed with their own star-profile wrenches (do not use any
extension).
D In order that after tightening the ring of the RUD-eye bolt is freely rotatable, the
star-profile wrench must be removed from the inner hexagon of the screw as
shown in Fig. ’A’.
D Prior to loading the RUD-eye bolt adjust it in force direction (RUD-eye bolts
are not suitable to be turned under load).
D Lateral loading is permitted in no circumstances! (Fig. ’B’)

2.5 Shackles
Only those shackles may be used which are in accordance with American Stan-
dard RR−C−271A or which fulfil or exceed these values, including the safety factor.
All calculations for components and tools where shackles are used are laid out ac-
cordingly and based on the mentioned standards.
Normally, the permissible lifting capacity of the shackles is specified for one single
strand.

Attention! If tools are combined (e.g. beams with shackles, RUD-eye bolts or
RUD-swivel lugs and ropes, etc.), it is always the weakest element which deter-
mines the maximum lifting capacity (see details in Tools List 9403−5).

General Guidelines: Wire Rope Slings, Span-sets, Eye bolts, etc.

3. Attaching and disconnecting

The following must be observed:


D Distribution of load:
− one strand carries the total of load weight
− two strands carry each one half of the load weight
− four strands carry each one quarter of the load weight if the load is distrib-
uted equally.
D Angle of strand:
− the flatter the strand angle, the more the strand is stressed
− the more acute the strand angle is, the less the strand is stressed.

D Place a soft-wood board between rope and engine component, because the
ropes tend to slide on smooth surfaces (e.g. tubes, shafts).
D Protect the ropes against damages by providing a wooden pallet or a rag.
Sharp edges may even cut steel cables!
D If possible always tie down the load. (danger of fall)
D Wrapping the rope twice increases friction and adhesion in such a manner
that even a smooth, oily shaft is sliding less.
D Hemp rope strands, wrapped around the hook, prevent sliding. Do not wrap
steel cables, but cross them instead.
Danger of injuries! For your own safety never stand beneath loads!
Hold the ropes in the flat of your hands and keep your fingers stretched out. Never
seize the load at the bottom, but always lead it laterally. Always put down the loads
on a perfect ground, and use sufficiently sized bases.

1. General

The clearances listed in the column ’Nominal dimension’ of the following table cor-
respond to design and manufacturing values or to the settings on the new engine.
The values listed in the column ’Maximum clearance, dimension’ are such values
as may be reached after a lengthy operating period, which however may not be
allowed to be exceeded or fall below. On components where the clearance is ad-
justable by modifying the thickness of shims, discs, spacers etc. the value given as
’Normal Clearance’ should always be arrived at, or striven to attain. Where this is
not possible, worn parts must be replaced by standard new ones or reconditioned
by suitable material buildup.
If, during an overhaul, clearances are measured which have almost reached the
permissible limit, it must be left to individual judgement to decide whether a compo-
nent part should be replaced or remain fitted till the next overhaul. This depends for
example on the duration of the next operation period till the next overhaul and what
wear has to be expected based on experience gained.

Tightening Values of Standard Screwed Connections

1. Standard screws

This table is valid for all screws that are not considered in 0352−1.
It is recommended to lubricate the threads for screws which come into contact with
hot parts like exhaust pipings, expansion pieces, etc. with a heat-resisting lubri-
cant, e.g. THREAD GARD or Never-Seez NSBT-8, etc.
Attention! These tightening instructions are valid only if:
− screws are made of the 8.8 material
− threads have been lubricated with oil

2. Waisted studs

Waisted studs must be tightened according to the values in the following diagram.
D Before fitting a waisted stud clean its thread and corresponding tap hole. The
sealing faces must be degreased (e.g. using white spirit) and subsequently
primed.
D Screw in the waisted stud without lubricant on the thread right to the bottom of
the tap hole, and tighten. Always utilize a stud driver or two nuts.
Tools like a pipe wrench etc. which would damage the stud shank must never be
used.
D For the protection of the waisted stud in the cylinder jacket and cylinder cover,
fill the annular space above the thread with a non-hardening jointing com-
pound (see 2751−1).

Checking the Foundation Bolts

2. Checking the pre-tension

⇒ Clean the threads of the foundation bolts and the seating surfaces. Subse-
quently apply MOLYKOTE G paste to the threads.
⇒ Place pre-tensioning jack 94145 on foundation bolt 8 to be checked, and
screw it completely down with vent screw 2 open until there is only little or no
clearance at ’x’.
⇒ Connect the pre-tensioning jack with HP oil pump 94931, whereby one side of
hydr. distributor 94934a must be closed with plug piece 94934e.
⇒ Shut relief valve ’EV’ at the HP oil pump. Actuate HP oil pump till oil flows
bubble-free at vent screw 2.
⇒ Close vent screw, tension the foundation bolt with 1000 bar and keep pres-
sure constant.
D Attention should be paid to ensure that pin 1 always protrudes slightly
compared with piston 4 on the pre-tensioning jack!
Check with feeler gauge through slot ’KO’ if there is any clearance between nut 7
CHECK and its seating.
⇒ If there is no clearance, this means that the tightening condition of the founda-
tion bolt has remained unchanged since the last check. The pressure can be
released to zero with relief valve ’EV’ and the pre-tensioning jack removed.
Should a clearance be found, nut 6 must be tightened down onto its seating
with round bar ’RS’ while the pressure is kept at 1000 bar (check with feeler
gauge). Subsequently lower the pressure to zero.

3. Loosening the foundation bolts

⇒ First screw down pre-tensioning jack 94145 as for checking the pre-tension,
then turn back by ½ turn (gap ’SA’).
⇒ Connect the pre-tensioning jack with HP oil pump 94931, whereby one side of
hydr. distributor 94934a must be closed with plug piece 94934e.
⇒ Shut relief valve ’EV’ at the HP oil pump. Actuate HP oil pump till oil flows
bubble-free at vent screw 2.
⇒ Close vent screw 2 and pump until a pressure of 1020 bar has been reached.
D Attention should be paid to ensure that pin 1 always protrudes slightly
compared with piston 4 on the pre-tensioning jack!
⇒ Turn back nut 7 by one turn, and release the pressure to zero.
Remove the pre-tensioning jack.

Main Bearing: Loosening and Tensioning of Jack Bolts

4. Preparatory works for tensioning

⇒ Clean the seating surfaces on the bearing cover and column center piece 5.
⇒ Place the jack bolts and turn their cylinders 9 to such a position that the Con-
nection pieces can be fitted and then tighten nuts 10 with round bar ’RS’, how-
ever without any extension.
⇒ Establish distances ’a1’ and ’a2’ with depth gauge 94126. The difference be-
tween the two distances may not exceed 0.3 mm. If necessary bring bear-
ing cover 1 to the right position by slightly loosening nut 10 of the jack bolt on
which side distance ’a’ is less and tighten the nut of the other jack bolt while
holding the latter in its spot face 11 firmly with an open end spanner.
⇒ When the difference between distances ’a1’ and ’a2’ is within 0.3 mm, tighten
both nuts with round bar ’RS’ until fully seated.

5. Tensioning the jack bolts

⇒ Fit and then join both Connection pieces 94427 to hydraulic unit 94942 as
shown in Fig. ’B’.
⇒ Open vent screws 6 by approx. two turns.
⇒ Actuate the hydraulic unit till bubble-free oil flows out through the vent screws.
Close vent screws.
⇒ Actuate the hydraulic unit till a pressure of 1100 bar. Both gauges should indi-
cate the same oil pressure.

C ⇒ Keep pressure constant and tight-


en both nuts 10 using round bar ’RS’
till fully seated on cylinders 9 (check
seating with feeler gauge).
⇒ Release pressure to zero at the hy-
9 draulic unit and measure again dis-
10 tances ’a1’ and ’a2’. Should the dif-
ference exceed 0.3 mm, loosen
jack bolts, adjust bearing cover cor-
respondingly and repeat the tension-
ing procedure.
⇒ Remove Connection pieces and refit
screw plugs 14 (Fig. ’A’).
⇒ Secure vent valves 6 and set screws
8 together with locking wire 7 (Fig.
’B’).

ring cover must not exceed 0.3 mm (see 0330−1 ’Crankshaft and main bea-
ring’).
D Always fit toggle lever to crosshead lubrication and piston cooling in
such a way that its curvature stands upwards.
⇒ Remove all the tools from the engine.
If the crank deflection is measured before fitting the bearing cover, take care that
the bearing shell does not turn. In this case, block the latter with a piece of wood.
The bearing clearances and the crank deflection must be measured after a new
CHECK bearing shell has been fitted and the bearing cover has been tightened (see
0330−1 and 3103−1).
After assembly, check if lubricating oil is supplied to the bearing with the oil pump in
operation!

Thrust Bearing
Checking the Axial Clearance

Tools: Key to Illustrations:


1 Inside micrometer 94101 1 Coupling flange 7 Thrust bearing pads
1 Feeler gauge 94238 2 Oil baffle, upper part ASTERN
1 Dial gauge with magnetic base 3 Oil baffle, lower part 7a Thrust bearing pads
4, 4a Holder AHEAD
5 Thrust flange 8 Cover
6 Crankshaft

1. Measuring method 1

The total displacement which results from pushing the crankshaft axially both
ways until it contacts the thrust bearing pads AHEAD and ASTERN, is measured
with a dial gauge. This is then checked against the figure marked on the sheet
’Check Dimensions’ in the engine documents supplied (see also Clearance Table
0330−1 ’Crankshaft and main bearing’).
An increase compared with the nominal figure signifies wear of the thrust bearing
pads.

2. Measuring method 2

⇒ Displace the crankshaft axially until it rests on the engine side thrust bearing
pads (AHEAD) and then fix it in this position.
⇒ Measure the distance between the coupling flange and the upper part of the
oil baffle with the inside micrometer 94101 at the position indicated (see Fig.
’B’). The amount by which distance ’X’ is smaller than that given on the sheet
’Check Dimensions’ corresponds to the wear of the engine side thrust bearing
pads (AHEAD).
⇒ Displace the crankshaft axially until it rests on the thrust bearing pads for
ASTERN. Determine the total axial clearance with the inside micrometer.
Remark: After major works have been carried out in the thrust bearing space dis-
mantle cover 8 for a check-up on the thrust bearing housing. Remove any foreign
matters through the opening.

1. Removal

⇒ Remove casings 9 and oil piping 11.


⇒ Loosen both holders 4 above thrust bearing pads 2 or 2a to be removed.
⇒ Remove temperature sensors from their bores 12 (Fig. ’A’) before turning out
thrust bearing pads on engine side.
⇒ Fasten turning-out device 94155 or 94155a respectively to the 1-part or 2-part
gear wheel as illustrated on Fig. ’B’ or ’C’.
Attention! Turning-out device 94155 for the 1-part gear wheel must under no cir-
cumstances be fitted onto the 2-part gear wheel.
⇒ The crankshaft is then to be turned with the turning gear until an eye bolt M16
can be screwed into a pad which can then be lifted up and removed one by
one.
Remark: When only a few thrust bearing pads of a row are to be removed the
crankshaft is located in its axial position by the remaining pads. When all thrust
bearing pads must be removed then the crankshaft must be prevented from sliding
axially. Therefore, insert a piece of hardwood of the same thickness in place of the
thrust bearing pad.

2. Fitting

D Make absolutely sure that all the thrust bearing pads are meticulously clean
and smeared with fresh engine oil; the thrust bearing pads must all be re-
placed in their original position. Note also numbering of the individual pads!
D For fitting the thrust bearing pads tool 94155 or 94155a respectively can also
be utilized. Note in this respect that the first pad, when pushed in, rests against
the tool. The following thrust bearing pads can then be fitted one after the
other while simultaneously turning the crankshaft. The thrust bearing pads
should slide in without effort to their end position.
With all the thrust bearing pads in position, the distances from the outermost pads
CHECK on fuel side and exhaust side to the upper edge of the bedplate must be equal to be
able refitting holders 4. Subsequently check the clearance between holder and
thrust bearing pads 2 and 2a (see Clearance Table 0330−1 ’Crankshaft and thrust
bearing’).
D Prior to fitting screws 5 and 6 clean threads, tap holes and coat screw threads
with LOCTITE No. 222.
Attention! After fitting the thrust bearing pads immediately remove tool 94155 or
94155a respectively.
Remark: When fitting new or remetalled thrust bearing pads, care must be taken
that their thickness (final dimension) corresponds exactly with the neighbouring
pads.
When replacing a complete row of new or remetalled thrust bearing pads the clear-
ance must be adjusted to the original values (see Clearance Table 0330−1 ’Crank-
shaft and thrust bearing’ and 1203−1).

1. General

Two hydraulic type stays 1 are installed each on the exhaust side and fuel side of
the engine.
The oil pressures on the pressure gauges of the hydraulic cylinders must be
CHECK checked and compared with each other at regular intervals.
If one of the hydraulic cylinders shows a pressure below 30 bar, which could be
caused by defective O-rings, leaking valves or screwed connections, the opposite
hydraulic cylinder must also be released of its pressure till 30 bar.
The defective engine stays must be repaired at the first opportunity. Afterwards the
oil pressure must be readjusted to the required value on all the engine stays,
whereby the detailed instructions of the respective maker must be considered.

1. General

We recommend that about one year after commissioning the engine all tie rods are
checked for their correct pre-tensioning and if necessary to tension them to the
specified value. Later it is sufficient to make random checks during major over-
hauls, or the pre-tension of all tie rods has to be checked within four years.
Remark: For such checks it is not required to loosen the jack bolts of the main
bearings nor the clamp screws 12 (Fig. ’D’).
Pay attention to General Application Instructions 9403−4 for hydraulic pre-ten-
sioning jacks.

2. Checking the pre-tension of tie rods

⇒ Remove protection cover 10 from all tie rods and clean the seating surface of
upper intermediate ring 2.
⇒ Screw both pre-tensioning jacks 94180 onto two tie rods lying opposite each
other.
⇒ Turn the pre-tensioning jack so that the holes in tie rod nuts 3 are accessible.
⇒ Open vent screws 7.
⇒ Tighten round nuts 6 until there is only little or no clearance at ’x’ (Fig. ’A’).
⇒ Connect both pre-tensioning jacks with hydraulic unit 94942 according to
Fig. ’A’.
⇒ Actuate the hydraulic unit until bubble-free oil flows out through the vent
screws.
Remark: Hydraulic oil flowing out can be drained into a container by means of
hoses which are put over the vent screws.
⇒ Close the vent screws, operate the hydraulic unit up to 1000 bar and maintain
the pressure constant.
Never move the piston 5 of the pre-tensioning jack further up than to the red limit-
ing groove ’BN’ (Fig. A).

PLACED FOR TENSIONING PLACED FOR LOOSENING

Using feeler gauge 94122 inserted through slot ’KO’, check whether tie rod nut 3
CHECK rests on upper intermediate ring 2 without any clearance.
⇒ If any clearance does exist, tighten the tie rod nut with round bar ’RS’ until it
rests firmly on the upper intermediate ring (check with feeler gauge). Subse-
quently release the pressure to ’0’ at the hydraulic unit. If no clearance exists,
the pressure can immediately be released and the pre-tensioning jacks re-
moved. Check all the tie rods in this manner and, wherever necessary, tighten
the tie rod nut.
⇒ Protect the tie rod threads against corrosion by coating them with non-acidic
grease after checking has been completed. Fit and fasten the protection cov-
er.
Remark: If a tie rod nut 3 is blocked/seized it may be attempted to press in oil or
solvent through bore 11 (#/8” NPT) with the pre-tensioning jacks placed and pres-
surized so that the tie rods are lifted. At the same time insert a brass or copper bar
into a hole in the tie rod nut through the slotted aperture of cylinder 4 and first loos-
en, then tighten the nut with several heavy hammer blows. Make sure, however,
that the edge of the hole is not seriously deformed or it will be impossible to remove
the pre-tensioning jack. Seal off bore 11.

RT-flex84T-D Maintenance 1903−1/A1

Checking the Pre-tension and Tensioning the Tie Rods

3. Loosening and tensioning the tie rods

Should tie rods have to be removed or fitted, the following principles have to be
observed:
⇒ Remove clamp screws 12 (Fig. ’D’).
D Tensioning has to be carried out in one procedure. The sequence is shown in
Fig. ’B’, i.e. in pairs, first tie rods a/a, then b/b, etc.
Never move piston 5 of the pre-tensioning jack further up than to the red limiting
groove ’BN’ (Fig. A).
D If the tie rods have been newly tightened, then the jack bolts of the main bear-
ings also have to be checked for correct pre-tensioning (see 1132−1).

3.1 Loosening
The procedure for loosening the tie rods is the same as the one described in sec-
tion 2 ’Checking the pre-tension’, except that round nuts 6 must be turned back by
four turns after being completely screwed down the pre-tensioning jacks (gap ’SA’
in (Fig. ’A’). At this starting point connect the jacks with hydraulic unit 94942 and
operate it until a pressure of about 1030 bar is reached.
⇒ Turn the tie rod nuts 3 up until they fully seat on the pistons of the pre-tension-
ing jacks and then screw back them by approx. ½ turn with round bar ’RS’.
⇒ Release pressure to ’0’ and remove the pre-tensioning jacks.

3.2 Tensioning

Preliminary works:
D Clamp screws 12 must not be tightened up.
D Lower tie rod nut 16 is screwed on.
⇒ Clean the seating surface for upper intermediate ring 2 and upper nut 3 and
smear them with MOLYKOTE paste G.
⇒ Smear the tie rod thread for upper nut lavishly with MOLYKOTE paste G and
screw the nut on (check for easy threading).
⇒ Screw eye bolt into the tie rod and lift carefully until the lower tie rod nut rests
snugly against the bearing girder 14.
Risk of accident! Use a manual ratchet hooked onto the crane, with which the tie
rod can be lifted manually until the lower nut is snug on its seating, as with the crane
alone the landing of the nut cannot easily be felt and the rope might break.
⇒ In this position tighten the upper tie rod nut with round bar ’RS’ until firmly
seated on the upper intermediate ring, and separate the manual ratchet the
from the tie rod.
There must now be no clearance between bearing girder and lower tie rod nut and
CHECK the latter must be flush with the tie rod end (Fig. ’D’).
⇒ Place pre-tensioning jacks 94180 onto the tie rods a/a.
⇒ Turn the pre-tensioning jacks so that the holes in tie rod nuts 3 are accessible.
⇒ Tighten round nuts 6 until there is only little or no clearance at ’x’ (Fig. ’A’).

1903−1/A1 Maintenance RT-flex84T-D

Checking the Pre-tension and Tensioning the Tie Rods

Tensioning in one procedure:


⇒ Connect the pre-tensioning jacks with the hydraulic unit 94942 (see Fig. ’A’).
⇒ Actuate the hydraulic unit until bubble-free oil flows out through the vent
screws 7. Close the vent screws.
⇒ Raise the pressure to 100 bar, keep it constant and firmly tighten the two up-
per tie rod nuts 3 with the round bar ’RS’.
⇒ Measure and record the distance ’L’ (the measurements can be taken directly
on the mounted pre-tensioning jacks, i.e. from the top edge of the tie rod 8 to
the cylinder 4).
⇒ Subsequently tension the tie rods with 1000 bar, keep it constant and firmly
tighten the two upper tie rod nuts 3 with the round bar ’RS’.
Never move pistons 5 of the pre-tensioning jacks further up than to the red limiting
grooves ’BN’ (Fig. ’A’).
⇒ Measure again the distance ’L’ and record it as ’L1’.
The tie rods are correctly tensioned with 1000 bar when the following reference
value of a total elongation L (’L1’−’L’) is measured:
L = 17.0 ... 19.0 mm
⇒ Release the pressure to ’0’ bar.
⇒ Proceed in the same way by following the required sequence for all tie rods
b/b, c/c, d/d ect.
⇒ After completing the tensioning, smear the protruding thread portions of all the
tie rods lavishly with an acid-free grease and fit protection cover 10 (Fig ’D’).

Cylinder Liner
Removing the Wear Ridge, Re-dressing Lubricating Grooves and Scavenge Ports

Tools: Key to Illustrations:


1 Wear ridge grinding device 94299 1 Roller support 10 Carbide milling cutter
2 Holder 11 Cylinder liner
3 Holder 12 Uppermost piston ring
4 Spacer roller
5 Pipe (column)
6 Grinder SI Scavenge port
7 Air hose SN Lubricating grooves
8 Hose oiler SN1 Lubricating bores
9 Thread nozzle (with CLU−3 only)

1. General

Due to wear in the cylinder liner a ridge is formed on top to where the piston rings do
not reach. By that also the lubricating grooves in the cylinder liner lose their depth,
and the corner radii of the scavenge port edges become smaller.
After every piston removal measure the bore of the cylinder liner (see 2124−1) and
remedy any irregularities. For that the following points are of importance:
D Protect the space below the cylinder liner from falling particles.
D After completing the reconditioning clean the bore of the cylinder liner thor-
oughly (particularly the lubricating grooves).
D Remove waste particles which may have passed into the scavenge space
through the ports.
D Actuate the cylinder lubrication until oil flows from all the lubricating points,
thereby flushing away any metal dust.

2. Removing the wear ridge

When grinding away the wear ridge take greatest care not to damage the running
surface. The machining of the wear ridge has to be carried out as shown in Fig. ’B’.
Therefore, always use wear ridge grinding device 94299 for carrying out this work.

3. Re-dressing the lubricating grooves

If the depth of the lubricating grooves has worn to less than 1.5 mm re-dress them
to their original depth and slightly round their edges with an oil stone (see Fig. ’A’).

4. Re-dressing the edges on the scavenge ports

The shape of the scavenge ports shown in Fig. ’A’ corresponds to new cylinder lin-
ers. When reconditioning (depending on the degree of wear or damage) aim at
matching these shapes. Take care not to damage the running surface in the cylin-
der liner bore! Polish (round) the passages into the running surface with emery
cloth.

1. General

1.1 Function check


Actuate the cylinder lubricating pump until oil emerges from all the lubricating
points in the bore of the corresponding cylinder liner. Note that on cylinder liners
with two rows of lubricating grooves (Multi-Level Lubrication) the oil delivery for
upper and lower row of lubricating grooves may be differently set (correct setting is
recorded on the acceptance records). Whatever the settings, make sure that on all
the lubricating points of the same row of lubricating grooves the oil outflow quantity
is equal.

Lubricating Quills and Accumulators: Function Check

1.2 Check of accumulator


During a major overhaul check at random several accumulators or if there are oil
leakages through bores ’LB’ (Fig. ’A’), open the relevant accumulators. Check the
condition of the diaphragms and defective or brittle ones must be replaced. Do not
use any sharp-edged objects for fitting new diaphragms!

1.3 Check of non-return valve


The non-return valve must also be checked for correct functioning. Therefore, the
complete lubricating quill and accumulator must be removed.
If compressed air is blown into X ⇒ no air must emerge from Y.
CHECK If compressed air is blown into Y ⇒ air must emerge from X.

014.253/06

2. Removing and fitting

⇒ If a non-return valve has to be replaced, remove backing screw 8 together with


filling pin 13.
⇒ After fitting the new part tighten the backing screw with 50 Nm and lock it with a
centre punch.
⇒ Before removing a cylinder liner 10, the passages for lubricating quills 12 and
protecting bushes 21 must be first disconnected.
Attention! The flange 19 must never be removed before the cylinder cooling water
has been drained.
D If only the passage for lubricating quill 12 has to be removed, with cylinder lin-
er fitted, then the protecting bush may remain in place.
D When refitting the passage for lubricating quill take care that sealing surface
’DF’ between cylinder liner and passage for lubricating quill is absolutely
clean. Sealing surface ’DF’ must seal metallically and the use of gaskets is
prohibited!
Remark: The design of the lubricating quills for the upper and the lower row of lu-
bricating grooves is the same.
Non-return valves are only supplied complete with filling pin as replacement parts.

1. General

The removal of the piston rod gland (hereafter called gland) can be carried out in
two different ways, i.e. removing the gland together with the piston (variant 1) or
removing the gland downwards into the crankcase leaving the piston in situ and
using the dismantling device 94344 (variant 2).
On every piston overhaul, the gland must also be dismantled and inspected. Ex-
cessively worn or damaged parts are to be replaced.
It is important that the gland be in perfect condition when assembled. A possible
earlier than planned inspection of the gland with a piston in situ can only be carried
out under difficult conditions and with the help of the dismantling device 94344.

1. General

The seat sealing face in the cylinder cover must be clean and undamaged as the
sealing is metallic.
Should any blow-by of combustion gases have been noticed during engine opera-
tion, the spring packets with their screws of the injection valve are not, under any
circumstances, to be tightened further as a counter measure.

2. Machining of sealing face

* 2 3 7

Dirty or slightly damaged sealing faces can be re-condi-


tioned on the spot by using overhauling device 94270.
⇒ Carefully insert the profiling cutter, bolted to the mill-
ing cutter holder, into the hole in the cylinder cover.
⇒ Fasten guide flange 3 with screws 7.
When the tool is being used, the centring mandril on
the profiling cutter on the one hand and the guide
flange on the other, give the tool the necessary sta-
bility and direction.
⇒ Cutting is done by pressing down lightly with the
hand on the milling cutter holder at the same time as
turning the hexagon evenly with the other hand us-
ing the ring spanner.
Try to remove as little material as possible but suffi-
cient, however, to obtain the desired standard for
the seating area.
1 D Putting some sticky grease on the profiling cutter
will prevent any foreign matter from entering the
4 combustion chamber during overhaul.

bench 94272 as well as test & calibration fluid has to be used (e.g. Shell Calibration
Fluid S.9365) complying with the data according to the following table:

Physical characteristics for test & calibration fluid:

Kinematic Viscosity ASTM D445


at 40 _C mm2/s 2.6
Density at 15 _C kg/m3 ISO 12185 827
Pour Point _C ISO 3016 −27

Remark: Clean diesel oil (gas oil) can be used if no calibration fluid is available.
The use however is not recommended, if the injection valve will be stored and not
directly installed on the engine (corrosion reasons).
On some injection valves the leakage flow amount might be bigger than on others.
In case of the test bench flow is not sufficient to open the nozzle needle, a clean
additive-type crankcase (system) oil of the SAE 30 viscosity grade (for additional
data see 0750−1 ’System oil’ in the Operating Manual) can be used for testing
instead of the above mentioned fluids.

2. Checking an injection valve

Before commissioning the instructions and directions of the test bench manufac-
turer must be observed.
From time to time check the pressure gauges of the test bench with a master pres-
CHECK sure gauge and adjust them if necessary.
Remark: The work station must be clean; welding and grinding should not be done
nearby!
⇒ Remove combustion residues and clean nozzle tip externally with a brass
wire brush.
⇒ Place injection valve 1 with nozzle tip pointing downwards into support 20 of
test bench 94272 and fasten it with two Allen screws 2 and spring cages 24.
⇒ Tighten HP hose 21 of test bench with connecting piece 94272b.
⇒ Start the test bench following the proper manufacturer’s instructions.
⇒ Bring the injection valve to spray with a few short pump jerks, and then ob-
serve at what pressure the injection valve opens, applying slow, equal pump
jerks.
Danger of injuries! Never hold fingers or hands directly before the spray holes of
the nozzle tip!

3. Judging an injection valve

For correct functioning and for a reuse of an injection valve observe the following
points:
D Spray pattern: Fuel will spray mainly from the holes in the first level of the
nozzle tip at the specified opening pressure. No fuel should drip from nozzle
tip when injection is finished.
D For new injection valves the opening pressure is 375 ±5 bar.

On used injection valves a pressure reduction of 30 bar may be acceptable.


Should a readjustment of the opening pressure be necessary, see section
’Adjusting the opening pressure’.
D In order to test tightness between the nozzle needle and needle seat, keep the
pressure in the test bench constant at approx. 20 bar below the opening pres-
sure. During a time period of 30 seconds no ’dripping’ should occur at the
nozzle tip.
D The spray holes of nozzle tip 8 must not be flushed out unduly.
⇒ Injection valves which do not spray efficiently must be dismantled as
described in section 4. Often, a thorough cleaning suffices to make them fully
functional.
Remark: Nozzle tips with flushed out spray holes must be replaced by new ones.
Nozzle holder 5 and nozzle body 14 (Fig. ’B’) with poor sealing faces must either be
replaced or reconditioned by the manufacturer or an authorized company.

4. Dismantling an injection valve

⇒ Remove receiver 22.


⇒ Screw down the injection valve on support 20 of test bench 94272, as men-
tioned, however without connecting HP hose 21 to the injection valve.
⇒ Loosen collar nut 6 and unscrew spring tensioner 7 until the compression
spring 12 is completely released (Fig. ‘B’).
⇒ Turn valve holder through 180_ into vertical position.
⇒ Place the special tool of the test bench onto retaining nut 11 and loosen it with
the press of the test bench.
Note test bench manufacturer’s application instruction!
⇒ Remove retaining nut 11, nozzle tip 8, retaining sleeve 15, nozzle body 14 and
nozzle needle 13.
Examine all parts for their condition.
CHECK
Remark: If only a nozzle tip 8 has to be replaced, see section 7.

Never interchange nozzle needle 13 and nozzle body 14! Each nozzle needle
belongs to its mated nozzle body into which it has been individually fitted with
greatest precision.

5. Assembling an injection valve

To assemble an injection valve, follow generally the reverse sequence of the dis-
mantling process, but note also the following points:
⇒ To clean injection valve parts, use only clean diesel oil (gas oil) or fresh kero-
sene, and dry compressed air.
⇒ The fitting position of nozzle tip 8, nozzle body 14 and nozzle holder 5 is given
by dowel pins 17 and 18 (Fig. ’B’).
⇒ Make sure that the sealing faces are in perfect condition and that no lubricant
is applied.
⇒ Fit the nozzle tip in accordance with section 7.
D If tappet 10, compression spring 12 and spring tensioner 7 with collar nut 6 are
already fitted, the spring tensioner must be screwed by approx. one turn only,
in order to prevent the compression spring from being under tension in any
case, otherwise nozzle body 14 does not lie flat on nozzle holder 5 during as-
sembly.
⇒ Apply a layer of Never-Seez NSBT-8 to the thread and the seating surface of
retaining nut 11.
⇒ First tighten retaining nut 11 to 100 Nm using a torque wrench. Starting from
this position, tighten the retaining nut by a further angle of 30_ by means of the
hydraulic tightening (or loosening) device of the test bench.
D Repeat the tightening procedure on the initial assembly.
D An angle of 30_ corresponds to 20.4 mm on the circumference relating to a nut
diameter of 78 mm.
After assembling the injection valve must be checked and judged according to sec-
CHECK tions 2 and 3.

6. Adjusting the opening pressure

⇒ Install the injection valve in the test bench as described in section 2.


⇒ The opening pressure of the injection valve (see setting table) can be set by
adjusting spring tensioner 7.
⇒ For readjusting the opening pressure, compression spring 12 must first be
completely released by means of spring tensioner 7.
⇒ Then operate the valve test bench and tighten the spring tensioner simulta-
neously until the required opening pressure is reached.
⇒ Check the injection valve as described in section 2.
⇒ After adjusting the opening pressure, tighten collar nut 6.
Remark: An opening pressure of 375 bar corresponds with reference dimen-
sion ’x1’ = 50.5 mm .

7. Replacing a nozzle tip

Ensure that always specified nozzle tips are used in accordance with the IMO
technical file of the engine or the shoptest protocol.
If the nozzle tip 8 should be dismantled only, it is sufficient to remove the retaining
sleeve 15.

SCREW DRIVER 7.1 Removal


⇒ Using two screw drivers inserted between both re-
cesses in retaining nut 11, press snap ring 16 out of
8 the groove in the retaining nut, whereby the retain-
ing sleeve can be withdrawn.
Watch that the snap ring does not jump off unex-
pectedly.
17
⇒ Remove nozzle tip.
15 7.2 Fitting
16
For fitting it is advantageous to clamp the injection
valve on its flange into a vice (nozzle body 14 pointing
11

⇒ Clean all parts with clean diesel oil or kerosine and
blow them out with compressed air.
⇒ Place nozzle tip on the nozzle body whereby the
position is assured by dowel pin 17.
⇒ Put retaining sleeve 15 over the nozzle tip, and
press snap ring 16 into the groove of the retaining
nut by means of the screw drivers.
After replacing a nozzle tip the injection valve must be
5 checked and judged according to sections 2 and 3.

1. General

Should functional difficulties occur with the starting valves when starting, or should
a starting air pipe near to the connection become noticeably hotter in operation
than on the neighbouring cylinders, then the starting valve must be dismantled and
reconditioned at the very next opportunity.
If no such difficulties occur it is recommended to dismantle yearly at random one
starting valve for a thorough check and to overhaul the other starting valves in fre-
quencies determined by such checking.
Periodical venting of the starting air manifold under higher pressure must be
CHECK provided as mentioned in the Operating Manual 0320−1. In addition, regular
checks must be carried out to make sure, that nut 18 on solenoid 17 is tight (see
also Maintenance Schedule 0380−1).

2. Removal from the cylinder cover

⇒ Loosen pipes for control air ’CA’.


⇒ Loosen and remove all four nuts 1.
⇒ Loosen and remove Allen screws 9. Screw jacking screws into the threaded
holes in casing 4 and by tightening them jack the complete starting valve from
the bore in cylinder cover 5.
⇒ Reinsert both Allen screws 9 for removing the complete valve.
⇒ Suspended by eye bolts ’RC’ lift the valve off the cylinder cover.
D When the removal is carried out with the cylinder cover fitted on the engine,
the vacated opening must be immediately covered by suitable means to pre-
vent the possibility of foreign particles entering the combustion space.

3. Dismantling a starting valve

D Lift cover 2 with mounted control valve 12 off casing 4. Take care that during
lifting, the cover does not get jammed, whereby connecting pipe 13 risks be-
ing damaged.
⇒ Remove ring 3 from casing 4.
⇒ For further dismantling clamp the valve on the milled faces below the valve
spindle head (spanner purchase) in a vice.

⇒ Loosen self-locking nut 6 with a socket spanner, and remove it.


⇒ Pull piston 7 and compression spring 10 from casing 4.
⇒ Lift casing up over valve spindle 8.

4. Grinding-in

D Slightly damaged seat faces may be ground in (lapped) manually.


D Badly worn seat faces must first be machined and then ground in (lapped)
manually.
Remark: The valve spindle has an angle of 61_, however, the valve seat angle
amounts to 60_.

5. Assembling

Assemble the valve in reverse sequence to the dismantling.


⇒ Clean all parts and smear them lightly with oil.
⇒ Apply MOLYKOTE paste G to the thread of valve spindle 8, however not in the
area of the locking ring of the self-locking nut 6.
⇒ Tighten the not greased, clean self-locking nut with 800 Nm or by a tightening
angle of 55_.
⇒ Place new, lightly oiled, O-rings 16 and 17 into the groove in casing 4 and con-
necting pipe 13 respectively.
After completing the assembly (without cover 2) check the easy movement of the
CHECK valve spindle by moderately tapping the upper end of the valve spindle several
times with a lead block in an axial direction; the valve spindle must jump every time
back on the seat.
If the valve seat have been ground/machined several times, check the clearance
’x’ (see figure) with a depth gauge from the upper edge of ring 3 onto the piston 7.
Clearance ’x’ must be minimum 1 mm.
⇒ Fit cover 2 and tighten it with Allen screws 9. Take care that when assembling
cover 2, connecting pipe 13 does not interfere.

6. Fitting in the cylinder cover

⇒ Place a new joint ring 11 on the shoulder of the bore in cylinder cover 5.
⇒ Smear bore in cylinder cover lightly with oil and fit the assembled starting
valve.
⇒ Apply Never-Seez NSBT-8 to the threads of nuts 1, fit and tighten them cross-
wise through an angle of 90_.

1. General

Each cylinder cover is provided with an indicator valve combined, depending on


Class requirements, with a relief valve, which is connected by relief bore ’RB’ to the
compression chamber. An inadmissible high pressure peak in the compression
chamber opens the valve and the over-pressure is immediately reduced.
A relief valve which has blown off or valves leaking during engine operation
must be replaced at the first opportunity (with engine stopped only).
A relief valve can not be repaired nor adjusted any more after having blown-
off!
Relief valves require no maintenance, however they should be checked in general
at every major engine overhaul. Basically leaking or damaged valves should be
returned to the manufacturer for inspection and repair.

3. Assembling of exhaust valve

Assembling is carried out analogously to dismantling but in reverse sequence.


Check the dimensions of valve spindle 9 with Clearance Table 0330−1 ’Exhaust
CHECK Valve’.
The condition of piston seal ring 18 (Fig. ’B’) is to be examined on every occasion,
at the latest, however, on the occasion of an overhaul of the exhaust valve accord-
ing to the maintenance schedule. A damaged piston seal ring must be replaced in
any case.
Heat new piston seal rings in boiling water before fitting them. When fitting proceed
with care, to avoid their damage; do not use any sharp edged utensils for assis-
tance.
⇒ Check all O-rings of the dismantled parts for damage and replace them if nec-
essary.
Remark: If an exhaust valve is to be fitted with a new seat or spindle, the seats
must be checked according to the instructions given in 2751−3.

3.1 Fitting of valve spindle


⇒ Apply oil to the valve spindle and fit it.
⇒ Apply oil to a new rod seal ring 27, fit it with distance ring 20 and tighten the
latter with head screws 21.
Remark: Always fit rod seal ring and distance ring only after fitting the valve
spindle, otherwise the rod seal ring might be damaged.

4. Blocking of exhaust valve

In case of an emergency, i.e. with water leakages into the combustion chamber the
exhaust valve can be blocked in open position by means of thrust pin 94259. The
latter must also be fitted if an exhaust valve is jammed in the open position (see
0520−1 in the Operating Manual).
⇒ Remove screw plug 10 (Fig. ’K’) from lower housing 2 and screw in retaining
screw 94259 instead.
⇒ After screwing in the retaining screw reopen the shut-off valve to the air spring
supply. This locks valve spindle 9 in OPEN position.

1. General

Valve seats of which the seat surfaces are badly damaged, or on which the wear
limit has been reached through frequent grinding, must be replaced.
The most advantageous position for replacing the valve seat is to bring the valve
cage in a vertical position as shown in Fig. ’A’.
Remark: When the valve seat must be removed with the valve cage in the inverted
upside down position, it must be suspended on the engine room crane slightly
above a wooden underlay. Device 94261 can then be attached from below and the
valve seat carefully withdrawn until it drops caused by its own weight (107 kg).
Therefore, the valve seat must be properly secured with additional wooden under-
lays. The distance to the wooden underlay is to be kept as small as possible to
avoid any accidents or damage.

2. Removing the valve seat

⇒ Fit both pairs of ring halves of the valve seat fitting and dismantling device
94261 into the groove on the circumference of valve cage 2 and valve seat 1
respectively.
⇒ With the aid of the three jack screws of the valve seat fitting and dismantling
device, the valve seat can be pressed out of its seating in the valve cage.
D Should a valve seat be removed for any reason, it must be reground by means
of valve grinding device 94291 before refitting.

3. Fitting the valve seat

⇒ Place valve cage vertically.


⇒ Clean bore as well as seating shoulder at ’AF’ meticulously.
⇒ Smear the bore into which the valve seat has to fit with oil, or lubricants such
as THREAD GARD, LOCTITE, ANTI-SEIZE COMPOUND etc.
⇒ Smear new O-ring 3 of original specification with the same lubricant.
⇒ Push valve seat as far as possible into the bore, then mount valve seat fitting
and dismantling device 94261 and by equal tightening of the jack screws
press the valve seat down till fully seated.
Through the control openings in the valve seat fitting and dismantling device check
CHECK with feeler gauge 94122 all around the circumference that no clearance remains at
’AF’.

4. Grinding the valve seat

Grinding in valve seats using the valve spindle with grinding paste must be avoided
as a matter of principle!
Therefore, always use the valve grinding device 94291 for grinding in the valve
seats in the following cases:
− When new or reconditioned valve spindles are fitted.
− When the seat surface on the valve seat is badly damaged (impacts, corro-
sion scars).

5. Checking the valve seat

E RC HA CHECK
After grinding it is necessary to check whether the new or
reground valve makes correct contact with the valve
seat. For this the spindle head seat face is spread with a
thin coating of blueing paste, then inserted vertically into
the guide bush.
Remark: The angle difference is chosen such that in the
hot operating condition the valves makes contact by
50 −100% from the outer edge (Fig. ’F’). The blueing
check should show that the cold valve makes contact
only from inside around the whole circumference. The
angle difference can be checked at gap ’S’ on the outer
edge with a feeler gauge (Fig. ’G’).
003.457/00 ⇒ The blueing on the valve seat must be checked by
tapping the valve head three or four times with a
hammer on a wooden block! (Fig. ’E’).
Do not rotate the valve spindle on the valve seat
face, as this risks seizure of the seating.

1. General

Grinding in a valve together with its valve seat with grinding paste is not permitted.
Valves which have had the seating surfaces badly damaged by pitting or corrosion
have to be reground by machine. It is strongly recommended that a suitable grind-
ing machine 94291 be made available.
Remark: A valve spindle with missing rotation wing may not be reground. The
wing hub must be shrink-fitted on the valve shaft by heating it to 480 _C. Grinding
may first begin after the whole unit has cooled down.
The machines from the makers HUNGER and CHRIS - MARINE are well proven
for valve grinding and can also be ordered directly from Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd,
Winterthur.

The wear condition can be checked at any time with gauge 94292 and feeler gauge
CHECK 94122.
D Where the precise angle required has been obtained during grinding, a check
with marking blue with the valve on the reground valve seat in the valve cage
will show only a line contact or a very narrow band (extent of contact) starting
from the smaller diameter as shown in Fig. ’B’.
See also remarks in 2751−3 regarding the valve behaviour at running temper-
ature.
D A maximum of 3 mm may be ground off the valve seating surface. Valve
plates, where the seat surface has been ground back by more than 3 mm can
be reconditioned by build-up welding.

D On engines with arduous operating conditions, corrosion may form at the


bottom of the valve plate, after a longer operating time. Exhaust valves can be
reconditioned if the loss of material on the valve plate is less than or equal to
12 mm.
Exhaust valves cannot be reconditioned anymore, when the loss of material is
more than 12 mm, but can be kept in operation up to 25 mm loss of material.
Remark: Reconditioning of exhaust valves may, however, only be carried out by a
Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd authorized repair workshop.

(dial gauge) 2 Pinion

1. General

Regular crankweb deflection measurements according to the intervals defined by


the class rules are sufficient. Detailed alignment measurements might become ne-
cessary only in case of abnormalities, like
− significant change of crankweb deflection measurement results compared to
the set of previous measurements.
− bearing temperature alarms or bearing damage.
− after replacing main bearing shells and again after approx. 100 service hours.
− in case the ship has touched ground.
In any such cases it is recommended to contact Wärtsilä for support.
The checking equipment 94305 is clamped between the crank webs into the pro-
vided center punch marks. When turning the crankshaft, the change in distance
between the crank webs can be read from the dial gauge as it indicates any open-
ing or closing up. The smaller the variation the better the alignment of the crank-
shaft. Thereby, however, the function of the checking equipment, i.e. the sign on
dial gauge “+” (standard) or “−” must be taken into consideration.

2. Conditions for measuring

D Indicator valves must be open.


D The ship must be floating freely and lying in the water as horizontal as
possible.
D The crankshaft must rest perfectly on all the main bearings.

A
2.1 Influences on measuring
D Engine cold or at service temperature.
D The difference in temperature between the lubricating oil
sump tank and the seawater.
1 D Loaded condition of the ship (draught).
D Strong sunshine.

2 It is recommended to include these data in the records.

3. Measuring procedure

Despite the ordinary rotation direction of the engine, the


crankshaft must always be turned in such a manner that
flywheel 1 and pinion 2 of the turning gear are rotating as
017.943/08
indicated by the arrows.

3.1 Setting the checking equipment


With the running gear in situ, the crank to be measured has to be turned corre-
spondingly after B.D.C. The checking equipment can now be clamped next to the
connecting rod into the provided center punch marks.
⇒ Pretension the dial gauge of checking equipment 94305 and turn the latter
around its own axis for its proper settling.
⇒ Dial gauge must not deviate more than 0.01 mm. Set subsequently dial gauge
to zero.
⇒ Turn crankshaft by means of turning gear, reading the dial gauge in the shown
crank positions at B.D.C. − EXHAUST SIDE − T.D.C. − FUEL SIDE − B.D.C
and noting down the values.
D The last value at B.D.C. is for checking. With correctly carried out measuring
procedure it should be again nearly zero. If it deviates more than 0.06 mm
from the first reading, then the measuring must be repeated.

The difference between the indicated values shows the amount of crank deflection
during one revolution (Fig. ’B’).
Where values are measured which lie above the maximum permissible limits, the
cause has to be found and the necessary remedial measures taken (defective
main bearing, engine stay altered due to hull deformation, loose holding-down
bolts, defective propeller shaft bearings or checking equipment 94305, etc.).
The limits are valid for any condition of ship service after ship delivery, i.e.:
− The ship’s draught and trim are within the limits for normal operation.
− The engine is stopped and hot or cold.
− In case of measurements at cold engine condition, any tank heating which is
arranged close or below the main engine as well as the pre-heater of the main
lubricating oil separator have to be out of operation at least 8 hours prior to the
measurement.

1. General

Viscous vibration dampers manufactured by Hasse & Wrede, Metaldyne Interna-


tional UK, STE Schwingungstechnik and Geislinger can be mounted at the free
end of the crankshaft and in case of RTA engines as well at the free end of the cam-
shaft.
The service life of a vibration damper is largely dependent on the speed range in
which the engine is run. Wear of the inner parts as well as changes in the silicone
oil properties can reduce the effectiveness of the damper. By periodic examination
of the silicone oil the makers of the vibration damper can draw conclusions on its
condition.
The silicone oil must be examined for the first time after about 15 000−18 000 oper-
ating hours. Future intervals for examinations depend on the result of these first
findings.
Special sample containers ’PB’ (Fig. ’B’) can be obtained from the vibration
damper makers.

A Remark: Before taking a sample, or be-


fore working on a vibration damper, al-
ways follow first the instructions of the
vibration damper manufacturer.
In casing trough 1 and casing cover 2, two
oil sampling holes are carefully closed
and sealed with screw plugs 3.

Taking a Silicone Fluid Sample

2. Preparation for taking a silicone fluid sample

⇒ Remove the casing of the vibration damper.


⇒ Turn the crankshaft in such a way that both screw plugs 3 of the vibration
damper are positioned horizontally to each other, whenever possible. If in this
position the screw plugs cannot be loosened , then the vertical position can
also be chosen.
⇒ Before removing the screw plug, carefully clean the area around it.
D Leave the damper in the mentioned position for at least two hours.
(If the oil sample is to be withdrawn from a removed vibration damper the
same conditions apply as regards the positions and the waiting time).
⇒ Using a flat caulker, hammer back the squeezed material in the corresponding
slot, which serves as locking means of screw plug 3.
⇒ Loosen the screw plug, but do not unscrew it yet, it must still seal.

3. Taking the sample

Prepare sample container ’PB’, i.e. remove both cap nuts 8 and examine the bore
CHECK which must be meticulously clean.
Remark: Two different threads are used for the sample bores of the ’Simpson In-
ternational’ and STE vibration dampers. Therefore, the ends of the sample con-
tainer are provided with different threads.
⇒ Remove the previously loosened screw plug 3, and screw in the sample con-
tainer ’PB’ instead.
⇒ After fully screwing in the sample container, screw it back by one turn to pre-
vent it from touching the flywheel inside the vibration damper.
⇒ Wait until the silicon fluid appears at the open end of the sample container.
Depending on the viscosity of the fluid, this may take some seconds only, or
much longer.
⇒ As soon as the silicon fluid flows out of the sample container, close its open
end with the respective cap nut.
⇒ Unscrew the sample container from the vibration damper housing (taking care
not to let escape the fluid), then immediately set in screw plug 3 with a new
O-ring 4 or sealing ring 5. (Avoid any leaking of silicon fluid.)
⇒ Screw the second cap nut on the sample container and tighten it moderately.
⇒ For the different vibration dampers tighten screw plugs 3 as follows:
− Metaldyne International with 25 Nm
− Hasse & Wrede with 20 Nm
− STE with 15 Nm (M10) or 45 Nm (M16)
⇒ Finally secure the screw plugs with centre punch mark ’KS’ (Fig. ’B’).

If a sample is not obtained by the method described, proceed as follows:


D Leave sample container in position.
⇒ Remove the opposite screw plug, connect a compressed air supply and apply
about 3.5 bar pressure.
D Only dried and filtered air may be used (connections and air hose must be
clean, free from any fouling).
⇒ As soon as fluid reaches open end of sample container shut off compressed
air supply and then fit one of the two cap nuts 8 to the sampling container.
⇒ Disconnect compressed air supply. Remove sample container and fit the
other cap nut 8.
⇒ Re-fit the corresponding screw plugs to all withdrawal openings.
⇒ Tighten and lock the screw plugs as already mentioned under ’Taking the
sample’.
Remark: The special sample container permits drawing a specific quantity of sili-
cone oil from the damper. The total number of samplings should be limited to 10.

1. General

Depending on the design execution of an engine, a vibration damper of GEIS-


LINGER make may be mounted at the free end of the crankshaft.
The service life of a vibration damper depends largely on the speed range in which
the engine is operated. Water, in particular sea-water, in the lubricating oil leads to
increased wear and loss of damping action.

2. Check

D The engine filters should regularly be checked for steel or bronze chippings. If
such chippings are found also in the damper housing, the damper supplier is
to be informed accordingly.
Until the reasons for such findings are not clarified and rectified, it is not allowed to
put the damper back into service.
D Should the oil pressure drop below 1 bar, it may not be corrected by adjust-
ment of the adjustable throttle in the supply piping. Instead, the cause of the
pressure drop must be investigated (defective oil supply piping 4).
Attention! If the oil supply to the damper is interrupted, the engine must be
stopped immediately, otherwise the damper may be seriously damaged. The oil
supply has to be reestablished before restarting the engine.
D Should damage be noticed on the engine bearings which is due to water con-
tamination of the lubricating oil, then the vibration damper must also be in-
spected for possible damage at the very earliest opportunity.
D To check the inner spring tips and groove flanks the inspection cover on the
face of damper casing 1 (Fig. ’B’) can be removed (with stopped engine). For
wear limits refer to the manual of the damper manufacturer.
D Dismantling of a vibration damper should only take place if there is a reason-
able suspicion that the damper is damaged or wear rates have exceeded their
limits. In this case contact the damper manufacturer for further instructions.
Attention! Adjustments on the vibration damper may only be carried out by a spe-
cialist, with simultaneous torsional vibration measurements.
Prior to removing a vibration damper and balance weight mark their positions with
reference to the crankshaft.
D For tightening values of coupling bolts 6 see 0352−1.
Remark: For the test run after the first commissioning, as well as the normal
checking and servicing intervals, refer to the manual of the damper manufacturer.

Changing the position of the throttling valve is forbidden.

D For pre-setting spindle 11 has to be turned back by


about four turns starting from the closed position.
D This adjustment must be verified on the basis of
vibration measurements during sea trial; otherwise
the spindle must be readjusted. The final adjust-
14 ment has to be engraved in the name plate fitted to
the upper part of cylinder 1.

004.156/99

If it becomes necessary to unscrew or replace a spindle for any reason, then the
distance ’x’ must be measured first (Fig. E’). The spindle has to be adjusted to the
same distance on reassembling.
The spindle must not be turned back by more than 16 turns , that corresponds to a
stroke of x = 48 mm.
D When the above check brings to light any defect of throttling valve 10 then dia-
phragms 14 (Fig. ’B’) screwed into the throttling valve must also be checked
for possible damage and replaced if necessary.
Attention! The engine must not be operated with spindle 11 removed or with the
oil supply to the axial damper interrupted!

5. Assembling

Remark: The seal rings normally have no signs of wear, therefore no dimension
due to wear is indicated. However, worn or damaged seal rings 6 and 7 due to con-
tamination must be replaced. See also 3146−1 ’Monitoring system’ in the Operat-
ing Manual.
D The seal rings are fastened by two Allen screws 9 and self-locking nuts 8. Im-
mediately before fitting the seal rings smear them with clean engine oil.
D Newly fitted seal rings must allow radial movement when fitted.
D The assembling of the axial damper is done analogously to dismantling but in
reverse sequence. Pay the utmost attention when lowering upper part of cylin-
der 1 into place, to prevent seal rings 6 and 7 from being damaged.
D Before tightening screws 3 as well as 4 and 5 fit the taper pins for the upper
part and lower part of the cylinder.
Remark: Apply MOLYKOTE and tighten screw 4 between axial damper and bed-
plate with a tightening angle of 50_ (see also 0352−1).

⇒ Screw pre-tensioning jacks 94315 diagonally onto two connecting rod studs 1
until these rest against the bearing cover. Moreover, open slightly vent screws
4 so that pistons 5 can slide back to their initial position, i.e. there is no or little
clearance at ’x’ (Fig. ’A’).
⇒ Connect the pre-tensioning jacks to hydraulic unit 94942 as shown in Fig. ’C’.
⇒ Start up hydraulic unit till bubble-free oil flows out through vent screws 4. Shut
the vent screws.
⇒ Actuate the hydraulic unit and set pressure to 600 bar (1st step) and keep
pressure constant.
D Attention should be paid to ensure that pins 3 always protrude slightly
compared with pistons 5 on the pre-tensioning jacks!
Tighten the nuts with round bar ’RS’ and check with the feeler gauge through slot
CHECK ’KO’ (Fig. ’A’) that no clearance remains between nut and supporting surface.
Check with the feeler gauge that no clearance remains between bearing cover and
connecting rod shank.
(Should clearance remain, loosen the fastening and compare the bearing projec-
tion with the nominal value as indicated in 3303−3).

Fig. ’a’ ⇒ Proceed in the same manner for the second pair of
connecting rod studs.
⇒ After tensioning to the 1st step mark the position of
the nuts against bearing cover as shown in Fig. ’a’.
⇒ Raise the pressure to 1000 bar (2nd step) and keep
constant.
Tighten nuts down and check correct seating with the
CHECK
y feeler gauge.
Check from the markings applied by how much the nuts
x were turned after pre-tightening (1st step).
Tightening angle to be about 35_ (Fig. ’b’).
Fig. ’b’ Should considerable differences to these nominal val-
ues be encountered then repeat the tensioning process.
⇒ Release pressure to zero at the hydraulic unit and
remove pre-tensioning jacks.
Finally check the vertical bearing clearance (see Clear-
CHECK
ance Table 0330−1 ’Top and bottom end bearings to con-
y necting rod’).

2. Fitting

The fitting of bearing shell 8 and bearing cover 5 is carried out analogous to remov-
al but in reverse sequence.
D The running surfaces have to be lavishly smeared with clean bearing oil.
D Tensioning of connecting rod studs must be carried out according to 3303−1.
Attention! Always fit toggle lever 4 in such a way that its curvature stands up-
wards.
After completing the work all retaining pins 94323 must be removed without fail.

3. Fitting of a bearing shell

D For fitting a bearing shell to the bottom end bearing, the surface of the crank-
pin must be in perfect condition.
D While fitting a bearing shell pay attention to prevent dirt or foreign particles
from entering between the shell rear surface and its seating! The contact sur-
faces of the shell rear side and the bearing bore must be free from any dam-
age. Immediately before inserting the bearing shells they have to be wiped
with a slightly oily hand, so that a trace of oil is on them.
D The bearing shell should be placed in the connecting rod head such that it pro-
trudes by the same distance at both ends of the separating face.
This protrusion is a must and under no circumstances may the separating
face of the bearing shell be filed to reduce it!

Protrusion of a new
x1

bottom end bearing shell:


x1 + x2 = approx. 0.64 − 0.72 mm
x2

008.458/01

Remark: Above measuring checks must be carried out when fitting new bearing
shells. For this the bearing shells are placed in position the bearing cover fitted and
the nuts tightened by hand with a round bar.
Prior to final assembly smear the running surfaces lavishly with clean bearing oil.
Should, however, the engine have to be frequently turned after the fitting of the
bearing, or should a re-start of the engine not be immediately planned, then
instead of bearing oil a mixture of 2/3 steam-engine cylinder oil and 1/3 normal bea-
ring oil should be used. Special oils suited to this purpose are also available from
reliable suppliers.
In order to further reduce the risk of dry running on newly fitted bearing shells, the
latter can be post-lubricated by means of a lubricating pump (see 3303−3).

nected via an oil pressure hose to a lubricating pump ’OP’.
The pump has to be filled with the mentioned oil mixture (steam-engine cylinder oil)
or special oil. The lubricating pump has to be operated from time to time, until oil is
pouring out from the bearing side faces. Before the engine is put back into opera-
tion, the oil pressure pipe ’DL’ must be refitted. The remainder of the above men-
tioned special oil or oil mixture may remain in the engine oil system.

The pump has to be filled with the mentioned oil mixture (steam-engine cylinder oil)
or special oil. The lubricating pump has to be operated from time to time, until oil is
pouring out from the bearing side faces. Before the engine is put back into opera-
tion, the oil pressure pipe ’DL’ must be refitted. The remainder of the above men-
tioned special oil or oil mixture may remain in the engine oil system.

On the occasion of an overhaul or when a crosshead has been removed, the op-

Checking the Clearances and Fitting the Guide Shoes

2. Checking the clearances

Clearance 1 Clearance between guide shoes and guide ways:


The corresponding crankpin must stand in such a position
that guide shoes 2 lie on guide ways 4 on fuel or exhaust
side.
Clearance 1 is valid over the whole guide way length and
is measured according to the position as shown in Fig. ’B’.
Clearance 2 Radial clearance between crosshead pin and
guide shoe:
This clearance is very difficult to establish inside the en-
gine. It is therefore best to measure and calculate this
clearance on the removed crosshead. For this the pin di-
ameter and the bore in the guide shoe have to be mea-
sured with micrometers.
Clearance 3 Lateral clearance of crosshead between the columns:
The clearance is measured in every position of the cross-
head. The complete crosshead must be pressed axially to
a side with suitable hardwood wedges or similar aids. The
pressure must be exerted onto guide shoe 2 and not onto
crosshead pin 1.
Clearance 4 Lateral clearance between guide shoe and
crosshead pin:
Push the corresponding guide shoe to the stop of retaining
cover 3 in the above mentioned position of the crosshead.

1. General

If a crosshead pin has to be removed, the following works must first be carried out
on the cylinder concerned:
D Pulling out piston (see 3403−1).
D Removing toggle lever to crosshead lubrication and piston cooling.
D Removing jack bolts to both main bearings (see 1132−1).
D Removing bearing cover to top end bearing (see 3303−3/A2).

Remark: Pay attention to:

− Utilization of Working Platform 3301−1.

2. Removal

A
D Turn crankshaft to such a position, that crank
94324 1 of the neighbouring cylinder stands at 90_
or at 270_ after T.D.C. respectively. The cor-
rect crank position (ideal position) of the
neighbouring cylinder 8 is shown in the table
Fig. ’B’. This ideal position of the crank is im-
portant to ensure the accessibility for the re-
HZ moval of the respective crosshead.
⇒ Fasten lifting plate 94324 onto the crosshead
pin (see 3303−3/A2).
⇒ Screw two eye bolts into the connecting rod
2
head and secure connecting rod 2 with ropes
and lifting tackle (see 3303−3).
⇒ Lift the crosshead with the crane until it is fully
clear of the connecting rod top end bearing.
⇒ Connecting rod 2 can now be rested in the
crankcase towards exhaust side and de-
pending on crank position, it must be secured
with lifting tackle ’HZ’.

3. Fitting the piston

Prior to fitting the piston, the following works must be carried out:
⇒ Remove the piston rings with ring expander 94338 (see 3425−1) and clean
piston exterior thoroughly. (Use no tool which could scratch or otherwise dam-
age the surface!).
Determine the height of the piston ring grooves (see Clearance Table 0330−1
CHECK ’Piston and piston rings’).
⇒ Clean piston rings and measure them.
Remarks: For refitting of used and new piston rings, follow strictly instructions in
3425−1.
D When refitting used piston rings be sure to fit them in the same grooves
as before.
D Fit the piston rings in such a manner that their marking TOP is on top.
Check the piston top surface (see 3403−4).
CHECK Measure bore of cylinder liner (see 2124−1) and carry out any needed recondition-
ing to lubricating grooves and scavenge ports (see 2124−3).
⇒ Actuate the cylinder lubrication till oil flows from all the lubricating points.
D Gland and both distance holders 94345 must be mounted on the piston rod
(see 2303−1).
D Suspension device 94341 must be fastened to the top of the piston crown.
Remarks: 2-part insertion funnel 94342b has the advantage that a half can be re-
moved, if required.
⇒ Insertion funnel 94342a/b for the piston rings must be placed on cylinder liner
12 and fitted as shown in Fig. ’E’.
⇒ Smear the piston rings, piston skirt, piston rod and running surface in cylinder
liner lavishly with a bearing oil.

nel 94342a(b).
⇒ Arrange the piston rings so that their gaps alter-
nate by 180_ to each other.

F ⇒ Remove cover plate 94345d.


⇒ Lower the piston further and direct the gland into its
seating bore in the cylinder jacket (see also
2303−1).
⇒ Slowly lower the piston further until its piston rod
94342a(b) foot has arrived just above the crosshead pin.
While one person directs the further lowering of the
piston from the top, another directs the piston rod
progress from the engine interior and how it must
be turned to guide the piston rod foot, without jam-
ming, into the centring pins 4 (Fig. ’A’) in the cross-
head pin.

D Refit antipolishing ring as described in 2124−2.

4. Leak test

A leak test must be carried out after every fitting of a piston in the cylinder. For this,
start the bearing lubrication pump and set the bearing lubricating pressure. Check
through the scavenge space on the fuel side in the cylinder jacket (piston under-
side) whether cylinder liner running surface and piston rod remain dry.
Any increase in the dirty oil level in the scavenge air space may be caused by a
faulty O-ring in the piston.

5. Assembling of a piston

For assembling the piston the following points must be observed:


D Damaged spraying nozzles 2a must not be reused. New ones must be fitted
with liquid securing agent LOCTITE No. 0640. Pay attention to the different
diameters of the spraying nozzles.
D Whenever possible always use the new O-rings, they must conform in dimen-
sions and quality to our specifications (see 0370−1).
D All cylindrical guide portions and O-rings must be smeared with oil before
the assembly.
Pre-tighten waisted screws 15 (lubricated with oil) with 30 Nm using a torque
CHECK wrench, subsequently tighten to an angle of 40_ and finally secure them with lock-
ing plates.
D Attention must be paid to locating pin 13 when assembling piston skirt 9 with
piston rod 8.
⇒ Insert and tighten both elastic screws 12.
D For the assembly of piston crown 1 with piston rod 8 make sure that the two
centring pins 11, serving also as guides, mate with the corresponding bores in
the piston skirt 9 and the piston rod.

Every time a piston is pulled the piston top surface contour must be checked with
CHECK the checking template 94366 and with feeler gauge 94122. The template is placed

smooth sharp-edged zones with emery cloth. Where, however, burn scars ex-
ceed x = 10 mm the original material thickness must be restored by surface
welding. This entails the removal of the piston crown.
Before re-starting the engine, the reason for such heavy burns should be estab-
lished. The causes must be remedied.

1. General

For judging and evaluating the condition of cylinder liner, piston and piston rings
the following guidelines serve for a condition-based Maintenance for piston and
cylinder liner overhaul.
Wear rates strongly depend on operational factors, such as fuel in use, engine load
profile, ambient conditions etc.
By visual inspections, critical conditions of cylinder liners and piston rings can be
detected at an early stage. Further information to monitor the cylinder liner and pis-
ton ring conditions are given in the Operating Manual 0750−1 Lubricating Oils.
The information regarding measuring piston ring grooves helps to define if the
wear on piston ring grooves is within the given limits or if the piston head must be
reconditioned. For the maximum wear data see Clearance Table 0330−1 ’Piston
and Piston Rings’.

2. Determine wear rate of piston rings

Measure the thickness of the chrome-ceramic coating of the piston rings as sched-
uled in 0380−1 to determine the wear rate and the remaining life time of the piston
rings.
Remark: See suppliers operation manual for the usage of layer measurement tool
94356.

Piston: Checking Wear of Piston Rings and Ring Grooves

2.1 Measure coating thickness with piston in situ (through scavenge ports)
Before each measurement the layer measurement tool 94356 must be calibrated.
Use the delivered calibration foils and the bare top flank of a spare top piston ring
as base material for proper setting.
⇒ Clean piston ring running surface at reachable measuring points P1 to P9.
⇒ Press the sensor of the layer measurement tool against the piston ring surface
at middle of ring height.
⇒ Measure the layer thickness and note the output value.

2.2 Wear rate


The chrome-ceramic coating is a lifetime coating. However, the actual wear de-
pends on operating conditions. When during a piston underside inspection a pis-
ton ring with a partially worn chrome-ceramic coating is found, we recommend
overhauling the unit at next opportunity (Fig. ’B’).
With regular done measuring you can determine the specific wear rate for each
piston ring.
The piston rings can still be used, if the remaining chrome-ceramic coating is
above the following limits:
− Uppermost piston ring ’a’ > 0.05 mm
− Lower piston rings ’b’ and ’c’ > 0.02 mm
Below those minimal coating thicknesses, a piston ring replacement must be
planned.

2.3 Lifetime calculation


Calculate the wear rate and the remaining lifetime of a piston ring.

Use the formula below to calculate the wear rate:

WR = (D1−D2) x 1000
T2−T1

WR = Wear rate [mm/1000 h]


T2 = Actual running hours [h]
T1 = Running hours at previous measurement [h]
D2 = Actual coating thickness [mm]
D1 = Coating thickness at previous measurement [mm]

Example for wear rate calculation:

D1 D2 T1 T2 WR
0.382 0.367 0 (new) 1500 0.01
0.351 0.340 3500 5000 0.0073

Use the formula below to calculate the remaining piston ring lifetime according to
the latest condition setting:

LT = (D2− Dmin) x 1000


WR

LT = Remaining lifetime [h]


D2 = Actual coating thickness [mm]
Dmin = Minimal coating thickness [mm] (see chapter 2.2)
WR = Calculated wear rate [mm/1000 h]

Example for remaining lifetime calculation:

D1 D2 Dmin T1 T2 WR LT
0.382 0.367 0.05 0 (new) 1500 0.01 31700
0.351 0.340 0.05 3500 5000 0.007333 39545

Piston: Checking Wear of Piston Rings and Ring Grooves

3. Measuring piston ring grooves

Check all dimensions and record them (see Clearance Table 0330−1 ’Piston and
CHECK piston rings’). These records are important for later evaluation of the running gear.
They should encompass all dimensions, the date of overhaul and operating hours
of the various components and of the engine itself.
3.1 Measurement with piston in situ (through scavenge ports)
The measurement of the piston ring clearance has to be carried out at two to four
free positions around the complete circumference of the piston head. The number
of measurement points depends on the accessibility.
Make sure that feeler gauge 94122 is pushed into the piston ring groove until it
touches the inner diameter of the groove, i.e. at point A. If there is a wear step on
the chromium layer, the feeler gauge can be pushed only to that point (C3).
Remark: Also consider the deposits in the piston ring groove and/or on the piston
ring top face.
⇒ Move piston 3 down (C1) by means of the turning gear.
⇒ Make sure that the total clearance is measured:
First measure the clearance ’x1’at point A.
⇒ Afterwards repeat the measurement at the same circumferential position and
measure the clearance ’x2’.
The sum of both values will give the total piston ring clearance.
Remark: The reason for this split measuring principle is that the piston rings might
be in a tilted position and thus not fully pushed-up and tight to the upper face of the
piston ring groove (C2).
The maximum clearance is at point A. For the maximum wear data see Clearance
Table 0330−1 ’Piston and Piston Rings’.
If the clearance at point A exceeds the permitted value, the piston rings have to be
replaced and the piston head has to be reconditioned.
For reconditioning of piston crowns please contact your nearest Wärtsilä Service
Center.

A piston head with clearances close to the maximum value may not be further used
as the expected remaining lifetime is too short.

4. Removing piston rings

For removing piston rings 1, always use the corresponding tensioning device with
its specially designed claws 4 preventing the coating from being chipped off at the
ring ends.
To prevent deformation it is of the utmost importance not to open the rings
more than absolutely necessary, i.e. allowing removal over the piston
crown.
⇒ Thoroughly clean piston, piston rings and piston ring grooves.
D Take care not to damage the chromed surfaces.

5. Fitting piston rings

D When reusing piston rings, only rings in perfect condition may be fitted, how-
ever in the same position and groove as removed.
D Always fit piston ring with the marking TOP upwards
(when the piston is assembled the piston rings must be turned such that the
ring gaps are staggered by 180_).
D The chromium plating thickness of a new CC coated piston ring should be
measured and recorded to monitor the wear rate over time.
Remark: New piston rings have to be run-in according to the relevant indications in
the Operating Manual 0410−1.

1. General

Gear wheels of new engines have to be checked visually during the running-in pe-
riod after about 1−2 operating hours. The same applies to old engines which have
been equipped with new gear wheels.

2. Check

⇒ Rotate crankshaft with the turning gear until all the teeth have been inspected.
⇒ Check with running lubricating oil pump, whether all the spray nozzles are de-
livering oil freely.
⇒ Check whether all the screws are correctly locked, and whether any irregulari-
ties can be detected.
⇒ After the running-in period check the gear wheels periodically every three
months in the manner described above. Should in this time faults appear, then
these can in certain cases be remedied by an experienced engineer.
D Should noises be heard in the region of the gear train, search for its cause.
Replace defective gear wheels as soon as ever possible, to prevent damage
to the mating gear wheels.
D When the gear wheels have run well for an initial running period of 6000−8000
hours the above-mentioned inspection may be carried out annually.
D For the checking of clearances and tooth impressions the tie rods and the
waisted studs of the main bearings must be tightened.

3. Checking the gear tooth backlash

Information concerning the gear tooth backlash values can be found in the table of
clearances (see 0330−1). The backlash can be determined in several ways. De-
pending on the possibilities, the following methods of measurement can be used:

3.1 With feeler gauge 94122


Measure the gap between the teeth flanks by using different thicknesses of feel-
ers. Repeat the measurement at a minimum of four points on the circumference of
the gear wheel.

3.2 With dial gauge


Mount the dial gauge in such a way that the turning movement can be read off in
mm. The gear wheel is turned in such a way that the tooth profile of one tooth
moves from one side to the other. When using this method of measuring care must
be taken since the drive wheel must not be allowed to turn.

rallelity amounts to max. 0.2o/oo across the
...
... width of the tooth.
000.653/93

C 4. Checking the running performance

To enable judging the running performance of


the gear train after re-commissioning, three
f1 teeth each of the gear wheels are smeared
with a thin coat of oil resisting marking blue
f2
(ink) equally spread. This check is necessary
in order to verify the mating appearance of the
teeth.
One brand of oil resisting marking blue is, for
example, Dykem Layout Red Dx-296.

6 D After having removed locking straps 13 with
screws and locking plates, bearings 11 can
015.121/07 be pulled off bearing journal 12 (Fig. ’C’).

3. Fitting

Fitting the intermediate wheel is carried out analogously to the removal but in
reverse sequence, whereby attention must be paid as follows:
Remark: When fitting bearings 11 they must first be lavishly smeared with bearing
oil. Both bearings are basically equal, they may, however, only be refitted in their
original place, as their position has been dowelled with taper pins 10 when building
the engine.
D Fit intermediate wheel so that marking DRIVING END appears when viewed
from the driving end of the engine.
D Intermediate wheel may be fitted arbitrarily with respect to the tooth position.
⇒ Before the final assembly of the intermediate wheel, apply a non-hardening
sealing compound on the joint face of covers 8; afterwards fit it with three
waisted screws 7, 7a (lubricated with MOLYKOTE G paste) on double column
14.
⇒ Tighten the waisted screws only as much as bearings 11 can still be moved.
⇒ Align the bearings so that the bores of the pinholes in the double column cor-
respond exactly with those in the bearings.
⇒ Drive home the taper pins to both of the bearings, using a copper rod and a
hammer.

4103−2/A1 Maintenance RT-flex84T-D

Removal and Fitting of Intermediate Wheel

⇒ Screw in the remaining waisted screws, tighten all slightly and evenly by hand
using a wrench and mark them with a line in this position.
⇒ Tighten waisted screws crosswise until the following angles are obtained:
− 60° for waisted screws 7
− 55° for waisted screws 7a.
As a safeguard check the tooth backlash between the gear wheels (see also Clear-
CHECK ance Table 0330−1 ’Driving Wheels for Supply Unit’).
⇒ Fit screw plugs 9 with LOCTITE No. 0222 and screw them in till the stop at the
taper pins.
⇒ Lock all waisted screws 7, 7a in pairs with locking wire.

4. Adjustment of the intermediate wheel

Should it be necessary to replace one bearing 11, the opposite bearing must be
replaced at the same time, as new bearings are always manufactured in pairs.
When fitting them an exact adjustment of the intermediate wheel is essential.
D For a readjustment of the intermediate wheel, adjusting devices 94410 must
be used as shown in Fig. ’E’, however screw plugs 9a (Fig. ’C’) must first be
removed.
After a readjustment of the intermediate wheel the tooth backlash (see Clearance
CHECK Table 0330−1 ’Driving Wheels for Supply Unit’), as well as the tooth flank contact
pattern have to be checked (see 4103−1).
D If a readjustment of the bearings is required, the pin holes pre-bored in the
column must be used.
D After removing the adjusting devices, screw plugs 9a must be refitted and se-
cured applying LOCTITE 0222.

5. Replacement of a gear rim

D The replacement of a damaged 2-part gear wheel may only be done in ex-
change for a complete gear wheel i.e. gear rim 16 must be screw fastened to
wheel hub 15 and the bearing journal fitted.
D This is necessary as the final machining of the gear teeth has been carried out
in this mounted condition at the maker’s works and guarantees the required
perfect true running of the complete gear wheel.
For this reason a split design gear wheel may only be installed if the final
machining of the teeth had been carried out with assembled hub / gear
rim.
After the final machining of the teeth the gear rim may not be separated from the
wheel hub.
D Should the damage be limited to the toothing (gear rim), then the hub may be
reused, provided a new rim, on which the teeth are not finish-machined, is
fitted to the hub, screw-fastened and dowelled. Then its teeth can be finish-
machined.
D Apply LOCTITE 262 and then tighten self-locking nuts 18 until an angle of 75_
is obtained.

Replacing the Gear Wheel on the Crankshaft

1. General

Usually, the gear wheel on the crankshaft (from now on referred to as gear wheel)
is executed in one part and fitted as such on the crankshaft. If a damaged gear
wheel in the engine is to be replaced, it must be separated into two halves for dis-
mantling. In order to avoid damages, especially to the crankshaft, please ob-
tain the necessary instructions and recommendations for executing such disman-
tling work from the engine supplier or from Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd.
For dismantling as well as for assembling a new gear wheel, dismount the inter-
mediate wheel (4103−2) to the supply unit drive.
The spare gear wheel is designed in two parts and must be fitted as described be-
low.
Remark: When ordering a two-part spare wheel, please indicate the engine type,
the engine No., as well as the engine supplier. This data is necessary because the
centring diameter of the crankshaft is registered for mounting the gear wheel, and
the center hole of the two-part spare wheel is manufactured according to these di-
mensions.

2. Preparing the assembly of the gear wheel

DRIVING END

B CHECK
The undersize of center hole ‘d’ (Fig. ‘A’) on two-part
gear wheel 1 with regard to the corresponding centring
diameter of the crankshaft has to be checked and re-
corded beforehand. For measuring, the crankshaft, the
gear wheel, and the measuring instrument must have
the same temperature.
The undersize of the center hole with respect to the cen-
DEGREASE tring diameter must be 0.05−0.14 mm.
2
D If the undersize is not within the mentioned toler-
ance, the gear wheel must not be assembled, but
1 the center hole of the gear wheel has to be given an
appropriate aftertreatment (remachine / possibly
000.697/98
bore and flame-spray, and machine to obtain the
correct diameter).
MIDDLE OF ENGINE D Check whether there is a mark on crankshaft flange
2 for fitting the gear wheel. For the assembly, the
DRIVING END

gear wheel partition must coincide with this mark.


The designation DRIVING END, which is located on
the front of the gear wheel, must be on the side of
the flywheel!

Replacing the Gear Wheel on the Crankshaft

D Before assembling, the centring diameter of the crankshaft flange as well as


the centre hole of the gear wheel with the corresponding flange faces must be
well cleaned and degreased (Fig. ‘B’). Do not use neither oil nor MOLYKOTE.
All surfaces must be in faultless condition.
Remark: The assembly of the gear wheel must be carried out carefully, since rela-
tively small faults could have a negative influence on the operating performance of
all gear wheels of the drive.

3. Assembly of the gear wheel

The connection consists of four waisted studs 3, each of them comprising two
castle nuts 4 and bases 5 (Fig. ‘C’).

C ⇒ Before assembling the gear wheel halves, fit two


waisted studs crosswise into each half.
4
⇒ Fasten a base 5 and a castle nut 4 on either side
MOLYKOTE 5
of each waisted stud.
3 The projection ‘X’ of the waisted stud with respect
to the castle nut must be 4 mm.
9 ⇒ Before fitting the castle nut, degrease the thread
and apply LOCTITE 262 to it.
LOCTITE 262 ⇒ In addition, secure the castle nut with a split pin to
DEGREASE 1 prevent it from slipping when tightening the waist-
SPLINT PIN 5 ed studs afterwards.
4 D Wait one or two days before tightening the waisted
studs in order to ensure thorough curing of the
LOCTITE.
X

001.168/97

Remark: The castle nut secured with LOCTITE and a


split pin must be fitted in such a way that the waisted stud
can be tensioned together with the castle nut opposite,
as shown in Fig. ‘I’ and ‘K’.

3.1 Work sequence


⇒ Turn the crankshaft so that the mark on the crank-
shaft flange is approximately horizontal with re-
D gard to the crankshaft centre line.
⇒ Put one gear wheel half with two pre-assembled
waisted studs 3 on the centring diameter of the
6 crankshaft flange in such a way that the joint face
1 of the gear wheel coincides with the mark on the
crankshaft flange. The designation DRIVING END
3 located on the front of the gear wheel must be on
the side of the flywheel.
001.167/97
⇒ Insert flange screws 6 (Fig. ‘D’) each in the centre
and at both ends of the gear wheel half and tighten
them temporarily.

⇒ After measuring, align the gaps between the wheel
001.166/97 halves and slightly tighten castle nuts 4 of waisted
studs 3 (Fig. ‘C’).
⇒ Also insert a flange screw 6 in the centre of upper
gear wheel half and tighten it temporarily (Fig. ‘G’).
G 6
⇒ Remove flange screws 6 from each end of the lower
1 gear wheel half so that there are now only two flange
screws 6, each of them tightened temporarily in the
centres of the upper and the lower gear wheel half
(Fig. ‘H’).

CHECK There must be no clearance on the seating surfaces be-


001.166/97

tween the gear wheel and the crankshaft flange − check!


⇒ For fitting the four remaining castle nuts 4 belonging
to waisted studs 3 (Fig. ‘C’), apply MOLYKOTE
6 paste G to the threads and the seating surfaces.
H Tighten only the castle nuts treated with MOLYKO-
TE paste G. Use retaining wrench 94412f (Fig. ‘K’ or
’M’) for holding up the castle nuts opposite which
3 have already been fitted and secured with LOCTITE
1 and a split pin.
⇒ Tighten the four castle nuts 4 of waisted studs 3
crosswise by means of hydraulic tightening device

1. General

The shut-off valve must be dismantled, cleaned and inspected according to Main-
tenance Schedule 0380−1.
Remark: To avoid accumulation of water in the main starting air piping open for a
short time water drain pipe on the main starting air piping after each starting opera-
tion.
Risk of accident! Before starting work on the shut-off valve for starting air it is es-
sential to manually close the stop valves on the starting air receivers.
The turning gear must be engaged.
The venting valve 2.21 to connection ’EV’ as well as the valve 2.27 must be open
for venting and draining the main starting air piping on the engine (see Control Dia-
gram 4003−2 in the Operating Manual).

2. Dismantling and assembly

2.1 Dismantling
⇒ If the valve seat 1 is to be grind in, first loosen the screws to cover 2.
⇒ Withdraw spring 3 together with valve 4 and spindle 18 as an unit.
⇒ Unscrew spindle guide 19 and remove the valve from the spindle.
⇒ If valve seat 5 of the non-return valve is to be grind in, then the shut-off valve
must be completely dismantled.
⇒ After dismantling valve guide 6 and spring 7 remove valve body 8 of the non-
return valve.
D When the above mentioned items are being checked, control valve 9 has also
to be dismantled and cleaned.

Shut-off Valve for Starting Air: Cleaning and Function Check

2.2 Assembly
⇒ Before reassembling all items replace corroded springs by new ones.
⇒ Replace damaged or much worn piston seal ring 10.
⇒ Check equalizing bores ’EB’ for free passage.
⇒ Before reassembling spindle 18, the threads in valve 4 and spindle guide 19
are to be thoroughly degreased and then smeared with LOCTITE. Insert the
spindle and fully tighten the spindle guide.
⇒ For the assembly smear all the parts lightly with MOLYKOTE paste.
Check to ascertain that clearance ’S’ between piston 11 and valve 12 of control
CHECK valve 9 amounts to about 1 mm.

Shut-off Valve for Starting Air: Cleaning and Function Check

3. Function check

After completing the assembly carry out a function check, for which the following
precautions have to be taken:

3.1 Initial position


D The stop valves of the starting air receivers must still be closed.
D Screw plug 13 of the shut-off valve has to be removed.
D Shut-off valve for starting air is in position CLOSED (closed by hand).
D Venting valve 2.21 to connection ’EV’ must be closed.
D The engine has to be completely assembled, ready to start and the turn-
ing gear must be in the disengaged position.
D The area of flywheel, propeller shaft and propeller must be free of persons or
objects.
D During the functional check the reversing must remain in position STOP and
START may not be actuated under any circumstances.

3.2 Tightness
⇒ Close venting valve 2.27 in the main starting pipe.
⇒ Open the stop valve of a starting air receiver slowly.
Check whether the automatic shut-off valve is airtight, i.e. verify that no air escapes
CHECK from the bore of screw plug 14.

3.3 Manual opening


⇒ Open the shut-off valve slowly with the help of handwheel 20 till locking lever
21 is in the position OPENED (by hand). The discharging air at the bore for
screw plug 13 indicates that valve 4 of the shut-off valve and valve body 8 of
the non-return valve are open.
Risk of accident! Great care must be taken for this operation. To prevent acci-
dents from compressed air suddenly escaping out of the bore for screw plug 13 a
sufficient distance has to be kept.

3.4 Automatic closing


⇒ Turn handwheel 20 to position CLOSED till locking lever 21 engages in posi-
tion AUTOMATIC.
D In this position the shut-off valve should, through the spring resistance, be au-
tomatically closed. No more air should come out at the bore for screw plug 13.
D In this position the valve closes positively only if there is a clearance ’S1’ (in
new condition min. 2 mm − max. 5 mm) between spindle 18 and spindle guide
19.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 3/ 4 2008


4325−1/A1 Maintenance RT-flex84T-D

Shut-off Valve for Starting Air: Cleaning and Function Check

By turning the spindle carefully to position OPENED, the contact with spindle guide
CHECK 19 can be felt. The clearance ’S1’ can thus be determined externally and it shall be
min. 2 mm corresponding to 1/3 turn of the spindle.
D Should virtually no clearance exist after frequent reconditioning of valve seat
and valve, these parts have to be replaced during the next overhaul.

3.5 Automatic opening


D Locking lever 21 is in position AUTOMATIC.
D By opening test valve 2.06, which is fitted in piping ’TV’, the same effect is ob-
tained as when actuating control valve 9.
D Upon opening test valve 2.06 the shut-off valve opens automatically. The air
now escaping at the bore for screw plug 13 indicates that valve 4 of the shut-
off valve and valve body 8 of the non-return valve have opened.
Risk of accident! Great care must be taken for this operation. To prevent acci-
dents from compressed air suddenly escaping out of the bore for screw plug 13 a
sufficient distance has to be kept to the shut-off valve.
D After shutting test valve 2.06 no air must escape from bore for screw plug 13.
⇒ After completing these checks fit and tighten screw plug 13, and close the
shut-off valve with handwheel 20 to position CLOSED (by hand).

1. General

The following instructions apply to supply units which are providing 2-part fuel
cams, i.e. with conical bushes (bush for short).
The camshaft must be removed from the supply unit for removing and fitting the
fuel cams and gear wheels on the camshaft (see 5552−2). To be able to work ap-
propriately, it is recommended to put the camshaft on suitable pedestals.
Prior to fitting the fuel cams, it must be ensured that the fuel cams, bushes and
camshaft are absolutely clean and in perfect condition.
HP oil pump 94931 and hydraulic unit 94942 have to be filled with engine oil having
a viscosity of SAE30 to SAE40 before starting them up. In exceptional cases hy-
draulic unit 94942 may be filled with cylinder lubricating oil.
Remark: Pay attention to:
− General Guidelines for Lifting Tools 0012−1.
− General Application Instructions 9403−4 for hydraulic pre-tensioning jacks.

2. Removing the fuel cam

⇒ Screw adapter piece 94426 into fuel cam 2 to be removed and connect it to
hydraulic unit 94942.
⇒ Push hydr. jacking tool 94424 on fuel cam and fasten it using six screws 8
(evenly tighten screws slightly by hand only).
⇒ Connect the hydr. jacking tool to HP oil pump 94931, however one side of
hydr. distributor 94934a must be plugged with plug piece 94934e.
⇒ Close relief valve ’EV’ and open vent screw 9.
⇒ Actuate HP oil pump 94931 and close the vent screw as soon as oil flows
bubble-free, and continue pumping till all pistons 12 are drawn out.
⇒ Evenly tighten screws 8.
Danger of accident! The following order of actuating HP oil pump and hydraulic
unit must be followed!
The oil pressure in the hydr. jacking tool 94424 may not exceed 250 bar.
⇒ Actuate HP oil pump 94931 till the pressure in the hydr. jacking tool reaches
approx. 90 bar.
⇒ Actuate hydraulic unit 94942 till oil is squeezing out on the whole circumfer-
ence between bush 7 and fuel cam 2. While keeping the hydraulic unit run-
ning, the oil pressure in the hydr. jacking tool may slowly be reduced with relief
valve ’EV’ at HP oil pump 94931, whereupon the fuel cam will loosen.
⇒ Dismantle all tools and remove bush and fuel cam.

3. Fitting the fuel cam

3.1 Numbering, distances and positioning angle of fuel cam


D The numbering starts with fuel cam No. 1 , which is next to the camshaft
wheel 5.
D Setting the distances of the fuel cams to each other is carried out with the aid
of distance holders 94563 and 94563a.
− Distance ’x1’ = 365 ± 0.1 mm
− Distance ’x2’ = 200 ± 0.1 mm
D Setting the positioning angles of the fuel cams to each other is carried out with
the aid of cam adjusting gear 94562, i.e. angle rail 94562a, guide tube 94562e
and positioning unit 94562f.
The appropriate tool is delivered for each engine.
D The positioning angles of the fuel cams to the camshaft wheel is undefined.
D All fuel cams are identical.
Remark: A fuel cam 2 and its bush 7 (Fig. ’A’) form one unit and must not be inter-
changed! If necessary, both parts must therefore be replaced at the same time;
moreover they are only supplied together.

Cross union 94844e 4b Lubrication bore
Holder 94844f 4c Lubrication bore

1. General

Lubricating device 94844 has been provided to prevent bearing bushes of the ser-
vo oil pump drive from being damaged (dry running) due to turning the engine dur-
ing overhaul works.
For this additional lubrication of the supply unit, system oil (bearing oil) is used (see
Operating Manual 0750−1).
Remark: Clean surroundings of the flanges which are opened up and take care
that no dirt or any kind of debris are entering to the supply unit.

2. Application of lubricating device

⇒ Make sure that the ball valve 1 is closed.


⇒ If it is not already done, exchange blind flange 2 for new flange 2a (flange with
G1/2” thread).
⇒ Remove oil pipes 3 from the lubrication bores 4a/4b/4c.
⇒ Check that the filling device 94844a is installed correct (no contact with flange
7) into the lubrication bore 4a. Between the upper flange of the filling device
94844a and the surface of the supply unit should be a gap of 4mm to ensure
that the filling device does not touch the bottom of the lubrication bore. Check
that the filling devices 94844b / 94844c are installed correct into the lubrica-
tion bores 4b/4c. Between the upper flange of the filling device 94844b should
be a gap of 2mm to ensure that the filling device does not touch the bottom of
the lubrication bore. The flange 94844c on the surface ot the supply unit has
no clearance.
⇒ After install filling devices 94844a / 94844b / 94844c into the lubrication bores
4a/4b/4c tighten the four screws by hand (50 Nm).
⇒ Install the lubrication device 94844 with the cross union 94844e, the flexible
hoses 94844d and connect the hoses to the straight unions of the cross union
94844e and the filling devices 94844a / 94844b / 94844c, tighten the hose
clamps 5.
⇒ During lubrication time, remove inspection covers to check if the lubrication oil
is going through all bores and reaches the bearings.
Remark: Before operating the turning gear, carefully read and follow the remarks
mentioned on the warning plate 6.
Attention! Before taking the engine into operation, rebuild the supply unit in re-
verse sequence.

6. Oil flow check

The oil flow at all fuel pumps must be checked after a fuel pump or plunger exchan-
ge in order to ensure a proper lubrication via orifice 48 to lower housing 6 and guide
piston 7.
D Engine at standstill and lubricating oil pump switched off.
⇒ Remove oil drain pipe 46 from all fuel pumps.
⇒ Switch on the lubricating pump.
⇒ Turn the turning gear in AHEAD direction.
⇒ Check the oil flow from the oil drain pipe.
If no oil is flowing out of a certain oil drain pipe, the respective fuel pump must
be separately checked:
− Turn the crankshaft until roller 8 of the respective fuel pump is on the cam
peak. If after one minute no oil flow is noticed, it might be an indication that
the oil supply is blocked by foreign particles.
− Cut off the fuel pump according to the Operating Manual 5556−2 and re-
place or remedy the fuel pump at the next opportunity.

1. Checking the gas pre-charge pressure

Once filled with gas, the hydraulic accumulator is largely maintenance-free, how-
ever in order to ensure a trouble-free service, maintenance works must be carried
out according to the manufacturer’s detailed operating instructions of the Cylinder
Lubricating System. Checks and maintenance are only to be carried out, when
the engine is at standstill.
The same measurement set 94720c must always be used to refill the accumulator
as provided for checking the gas pre-charge pressure on the lubricating pump’s
hydraulic actuators (see also 7218−1).
Check the filling pressure at least once in the first week after start-up of the accu-
CHECK mulator. If no loss of gas is observed, recheck after three months. If there is still no
change in pressure, an annual check might be sufficient, however, it is recom-
mended to continue carrying out checks every three months.
Attention! Ensure that servo oil supply is shut off before starting accumulator
pressure checking and charging. Also no residual oil pressure in valve block must
be visible on pressure gauge 12 (PI2041L) of pressure reducing valve 8.11−1.
1.1 Preparation
− Stop servo oil supply.
− Close stop valve 14 between rail unit and pressure reducing valve (Fig. ’C’).
− Drain servo oil system by means of screw plug 13.
Screw plug 13 must remain open during entire checking / refilling proce-
dure.
− Remove protection cap 2 from accumulator 1.
1.2 Checking procedure
⇒ Close the three valves A, B and C on control unit 5.
⇒ Connect accumulator 1 to control unit 5 using short hose 4.
⇒ Open valve A and read pressure from gauge 7.
Required gas pressure: min. 20 bar / max. 25 bar.
If gas pre-charge pressure is ok:
⇒ Close valve A and drain remaining pressure in control unit by opening valve B.
⇒ Disconnect short hose from accumulator.
⇒ Refit protection cap.
Remark: During every check a small amount of gas may be lost to the atmo-
sphere. Therefore, make sure a gas bottle is available before a pressure check is
made in order to refill possible loss.
If gas pre-charge pressure is not ok:
⇒ Refill the accumulator.

Pressure Reducing Valve: Checking the Gas Pre-charge Pressure with Lubricating Pump CLU4

2. Refilling the accumulator

Measurement set 94720c must always be used to refill the accumulator.


The hydraulic accumulator may only be filled with super-clean, class 4.0 nitrogen,
99.99 % N2 by volume.
Remark: Check and refill the accumulators of the pressure reducing valves
(8.18−1 & −2) at free end and driving end at the same time on engines with 8 to 12
and 14 cylinders.

2.1 Refilling procedure


⇒ Fit pressure reducing valve 3 to nitrogen bottle 15 and adjust the pressure to
approx. 30 bar.
⇒ Close the three valves A, B and C on control unit 5.
⇒ Connect pressure reducing valve with long hose 4a to the right side (C), and
accumulator with short hose 4 to the left side (A) of control unit.
⇒ Open valve A and read pressure from gauge 7.
⇒ Slowly open valve C and refill accumulator to the required pressure of 25 bar.
⇒ Close valves A and C and drain remaining pressure in control unit by opening
valve B.
⇒ Disconnect hoses 4, 4a and refit all protection caps.

2.2 After checking or refilling procedure


⇒ Reopen stop valve 14 between rail unit and pressure reducing valve valve
(Fig. ’C’).
⇒ Close screw plug 13.
After pressure checking and refilling the accumulator, ensure to run the servo oil
supply and vent air from the system before putting the pulse lubricating system into
operation (see Operating Manual 7218−1).

1. Checking the gas pre-charge pressure

Once filled with gas, the hydraulic accumulator is largely maintenance-free, how-
ever in order to ensure a trouble-free service, maintenance works must be carried
out according to the manufacturer’s detailed operating instructions of the Cylinder
Lubricating System. Checks and maintenance are only to be carried out, when
the engine is at standstill.
The same measurement set 94720c must always be used to refill the accumulator
as provided for checking the gas pre-charge pressure on the lubricating pump’s
hydraulic actuators (see also 7218−1).
Check the filling pressure at least once in the first week after startup of the accumu-
CHECK lator. If no loss of gas is observed, recheck after three months. If there is still no
change in pressure, an annual check might be sufficient, however, it is recom-
mended to continue carrying out checks every three months.
Attention! Ensure that servo oil supply is shut off before starting accumulator
pressure checking and charging. Also no residual oil pressure in valve block must
be visible on pressure gauge 12 (PI2041L) of pressure reducing valve 8.11−1.
1.1 Preparation
− Stop servo oil supply.
− Close stop valve 14 between rail unit and pressure reducing valve (Fig. ’C’).
− Drain servo oil system by means of screw plug 13.
Screw plug 13 must remain open during entire checking / refilling proce-
dure.
− Remove protection cap 2 from accumulator 1.
1.2 Checking procedure
⇒ Close the three valves A, B and C on control unit 5.
⇒ Connect accumulator 1 to control unit 5 using short hose 4.
⇒ Open valve A and read pressure from gauge 7.
Required gas pressure: min. 30 bar / max. 35 bar.
If gas pre-charge pressure is ok:
⇒ Close valve A and drain remaining pressure in control unit by opening valve B.
⇒ Disconnect short hose from accumulator.
⇒ Refit protection cap.
Remark: During every check a small amount of gas may be lost to the atmo-
sphere. Therefore, make sure a gas bottle is available before a pressure check is
made in order to refill possible loss.
If gas pre-charge pressure is not ok:
⇒ Refill the accumulator.

2. Refilling the accumulator

Measurement set 94720c must always be used to refill the accumulator.


The hydraulic accumulator may only be filled with super-clean, class 4.0 nitrogen,
99.99 % N2 by volume.
Remark: Check and refill the accumulators of the pressure reducing valves
(8.18−1 & −2) at free end and driving end at the same time on engines with 8 to 12
and 14 cylinders.

2.1 Refilling procedure


⇒ Fit pressure reducing valve 3 to nitrogen bottle 15 and adjust the pressure to
approx. 40 bar.
⇒ Close the three valves A, B and C on control unit 5.
⇒ Connect pressure reducing valve with long hose 4a to the right side (C), and
accumulator with short hose 4 to the left side (A) of control unit.
⇒ Open valve A and read pressure from gauge 7.
⇒ Slowly open valve C and refill accumulator to the required pressure of 35 bar.
⇒ Close valves A and C and drain remaining pressure in control unit by opening
valve B.
⇒ Disconnect hoses 4, 4a and refit all protection caps.

2.2 After checking or refilling procedure


⇒ Reopen stop valve 14 between rail unit and pressure reducing valve valve
(Fig. ’C’).
⇒ Close screw plug 13.
After pressure checking and refilling the accumulator, ensure to run the servo oil
supply and vent air from the system before putting the pulse lubricating system into
operation (see Operating Manual 7218−1).

1. Checking / refilling the gas pre-charge pressure

Once filled with gas, the hydraulic accumulator is largely maintenance-free, how-
ever in order to ensure a trouble-free service, maintenance works must be carried
out according to the manufacturer’s detailed operating instructions of the Cylinder
Lubricating System. Checks and maintenance are only to be carried out, when
the engine is at standstill. Furthermore see also Operating Manual 7218−1.
Check the pre-charge pressure directly after the installation of a new accumulator,
CHECK then at least once in the first week after start-up. Afterwards, check the pre-charge
pressure every three months.
Attention! Ensure that servo oil supply is shut off before starting accumulator
pressure checking and charging. Also no residual oil pressure in the servo oil sup-
ply line must be visible on pressure gauge PI2041L of pressure reducing valve
8.11−1.

1.1 Preparation before checking / refilling


Before starting any maintenance work, ensure that the servo oil supply unit is
switched off and the servo oil pressure is completely released.
In any case, when the accumulator has been removed the lubricating pump has to
be vented, see paragraph 2.2 ’Venting the lubricating pump’.
− Stop servo oil supply.
− Close the stop valve 4.30−5 on servo oil rail 4.11 (Fig. ’D’).
− Drain the servo oil system at screw plug 12 of pressure reducing valve 8.11−1
(Fig. ’E’).
Remark: Screw plug 12 must remain open during the entire checking / refilling
procedure.

1.2 Tools for pre-charge pressure checking / filling


For checking / filling the pre-charge pressure of the accumulator always use
the measurement set case 94720c!

Lubricating Pump CLU4: Checking / Refilling the Gas Pre-charge Pressure

1.3 Checking the pre-charge pressure on a new-type accumulator


For the below work procedure, the accumulator does not have to be disconnected
from the lubricating pump.
Remark: During every check a small amount of gas may be lost to atmosphere.
Therefore, in order to make up possible losses make sure a nitrogen bottle is avail-
able before a pre-charge pressure check is made.

Procedure for checking / refilling the gas pre-charge pressure:


⇒ Close the three valves A, B and C on control unit 6 (Fig. ’A’).
⇒ Connect accumulator 1 to valve A using hose 4.
⇒ Open valve A and read the pressure on gauge 7.
Required pre-charge pressure: min. 20 bar / max 25 bar.
⇒ If pre-charge pressure is within the given limit, close valve A and vent remain-
ing pressure in the control unit by opening valve B. Disconnect hose 4 from the
accumulator and refit protection cap 2.
If it is required to refill the accumulator, please continue to next point.
Remark: The accumulator may only be filled with super-clean, Class 4.0 nitrogen,
99.99% N2 by volume.
⇒ Connect pressure reducing valve 3 to nitrogen bottle 14 (Fig. ’B’).
⇒ Connect pressure reducing valve to control unit 6 at valve C using hose 5 and
adjust the outlet pressure to approx. 30 bar.
⇒ Close the three valves A, B and C on the control unit.
⇒ Open valve A and read pressure from gauge 7.
⇒ Slowly open valve C and refill accumulator to the required pressure of 25 bar.
⇒ Close valves A and C and vent the remaining pressure in the control unit by
opening valve B.
⇒ Disconnect hoses 4 and 5, remove the tools and refit all protection caps.

2.1 After checking / refilling procedure


⇒ Reopen stop valve 4.30−5 on servo oil rail 4.11 (Fig. ’D’).
⇒ Close screw plug 12 of pressure reducing valve 8.11 (Fig. ’E’).
After checking the pressure and refilling the accumulator, ensure to run the servo
oil supply system and vent air from the system before putting the pulse lubricating
system into operation.

2.2 Venting the lubricating pump


The lubricating pump has to be vented after refitting the accumulator.
The lubricating pump contains two vent plugs (Fig. ’C’):
− Vent plug 13 for the cylinder lubricating oil.
− Vent plug 15 for the servo oil.
Required equipment:
− Oil collection tray.
− Cloth to wipe up escaping oil.

Venting the cylinder lubricating oil:


⇒ Place an oil collection tray beneath the lubricating pump.
⇒ Loosen vent plug 13 for the cylinder lubricating oil. For this, turn the plug
counter-clockwise a maximum of three turns.
⇒ Wait until bubble-free oil escapes at the vent plug.
⇒ Tighten the vent plug again.

Venting the servo oil:


Attention! The servo oil system is under high pressure. Oil may spurt out when the
screws are loosened. Do not loosen the vent plug more than three turns. Wear
safety goggles!
Proceed as follows to vent the servo oil section of the lubricating pump:
⇒ Place an oil collection tray beneath the lubricating pump.
⇒ Operate the lubricating system via manual lubrication or intermediate lubrica-
tion operation (for additional details see also the Operating Manual 7218−1).
⇒ This is only possible after the servo oil priming pressure has been achieved by
starting the servo oil pumps.
⇒ Loosen vent plug 15 for the servo oil. For this, turn the plug counter-clockwise
a maximum of three turns.
⇒ Wait until bubble-free oil escapes at the vent plug.
⇒ Tighten the vent plug again.

1. Checking the gas pre-charge pressure

Once filled with gas, the hydraulic accumulator is largely maintenance-free, how-
ever in order to ensure a trouble-free service, maintenance works must be carried
out according to the manufacturer’s detailed operating instructions of the Cylinder
Lubricating System. Checks and maintenance are only to be carried out, when
the engine is at standstill. Furthermore see also Operating Manual 7218−1.
Check the filling pressure at least once in the first week after startup of the accumu-
CHECK lator. If no loss of gas is observed, recheck after three months. If there is still no
change in pressure, an annual check might be sufficient, however, it is recom-
mended to continue carrying out checks every three months.
Attention! Ensure that servo oil supply is shut off before starting accumulator
pressure checking and charging. Also no residual oil pressure in the servo oil sup-
ply line must be visible on pressure gauge PI2041L of pressure reducing valve
8.11−1.

1.1 Preparation
− Stop servo oil supply.
− Close stop valve 4.30−5 on servo oil rail 4.11 (Fig. ’D’).
− Drain servo oil system on screw plug 13 of pressure reducing valve 8.11−1
(Fig. ’E’).
Screw plug 13 must remain open during entire checking / refilling proce-
dure.
− Remove protection cap 2 from accumulator 1.

1.2 Checking procedure


⇒ Close the three valves A, B and C on control unit 5.
⇒ Connect accumulator 1 to control unit 5 using short hose 4.
⇒ Open valve A and read pressure from gauge 7.
Required gas pressure: min. 30 bar / max. 35 bar.

If gas pre-charge pressure is ok:


⇒ Close valve A and drain remaining pressure in control unit by opening valve B.
⇒ Disconnect short hose from accumulator.
⇒ Refit protection cap.
Remark: During every check a small amount of gas may be lost to the atmo-
sphere. Therefore, make sure a gas bottle is available before a pressure check is
made in order to refill possible loss.

If gas pre-charge pressure is not ok:


⇒ Refill the accumulator.

Exhaust Waste Gate (Low-Load Tuning)

1. General

The Low-Load Tuning concept is based on the combination of a specifically de-


signed turbocharging system setup and appropriately adjusted engine parame-
ters related to fuel injection and exhaust valve control. This allows enhancing the
performance of engines while operating at low part loads, in particular in the range
up to 70% load, by realizing considerably reduced fuel consumption as well as low-
er thermal load and thus improved engine reliability.

2. Maintenance

D Butterfly valve 1 does not require special maintenenace. For a general in-
spection however, the instructions of the valve manufacturer must be fol-
lowed.
D Keep the articulations of the cardan rods clean, but smeared with a heat-
resistant lubricant, e.g. Never-Seez NSBT-8.
D To carry out a function check see 8135−1 in the Operating Manual and Mainte-
nance Schedule 0380−1.

9.2 Checking the throttle


Before reaching the crank angle sensor unit, the oil flows first through throttle 45,
which reduces the oil quantity and also keeps back larger oil particles.
Checking the throttle is carried out as follows:
⇒ Stop main lubricating pump.
⇒ Remove oil inlet ’OE’ from the throttle.
⇒ Unscrew throttle and check its oil spray holes for free passage. Clean if neces-
sary.
⇒ Reinstall all parts.

9.3 Checking the shaft eccentricity


The following chekcs and the replacement of CAS parts can only be carried out if
the engine is at standstill.
Ckeck the shaft eccentricity in case of CAS exchange.
It is essential to perform the eccentricity check according to the Maintenance
Schedule 0380−1.

9.4 Eccentricity check


⇒ Remove the protection hood 1 of the CAS drive (see Fig.’B’).
⇒ Install the magnetic base with dial gauge ’MB’.

Remark! The measuring point must be horizontally adjacent of the gear wheel 18.

⇒ Read the deviation on the dial gauge while turning the crankshaft with the
turning gear.
The average shaft eccentricity under normal working and assembly condition
must be less than 0.15 mm.
In case the measured value is out of the stated average eccentricity value, it is rec-
ommended to replace the CAS with a new one (see sections 5 and 7). A CAS drive
is available as a standard spare part.

9.5 Checking the clearance between shaft and internal bearing of the CAS
In case the CAS is over five years in service or has more than 48 000 operating
hours, it is recommended to check the condition of the CAS before a new belt ver-
sion is installed. The CAS condition is checked by measuring the clearance be-
tween the shaft and internal CAS bearing.

Procedure for measuring the clearance:


⇒ Remove the protection hood 1 of the CAS drive (see Fig.’B’).
⇒ Remove the protection plate 10.
⇒ After loosening the screws 15a and 15, remove first the toothed belt of the out-
er CAS and then the toothed belt of the inner CAS.
⇒ After removing the toothed belt, tighten the screws 15a and 15 again.
⇒ Install the magnetic base with dial gauge ’MB’ as shown below.
⇒ Push the gear wheel of the CAS to the left and right direction.
The measurements ’X’ and ’Y’ have to be done in fixed condition of the outer and
inner CAS but without the toothed belts.
⇒ Read the deviation on the dial gauge while pushing the gear wheel of the CAS.
The average CAS clearance under normal working and in assembly condi-
tion must be less than 0.05 mm.

9.6 Checking the toothed belt condition


The toothed belt has to be checked every 3000 operating hours for its pre-tension.
In addition a visual inspection of the belt ha to be performed, which means check-
ing for possible cracks and worn-out areas.
Attention! Worn-out toothed belts must be replaced immediately.

10. Replacement of toothed belt or CAS drive

10.1 Replacement of the toothed belt


The new toothed belt version must be used (Fig. ’E’), which can be ordered sepa-
rately as single part according to the Spare Parts Code Book.
Do not use the old toothed belt anymore.

10.2 Reasons for CAS drive replacement


There are two reasons which require a CAS drive overhaul:
− High shaft eccentricity: To verify the eccentricity, see the paragraph 9.3.
− Maintenance schedule: Work to be carried out at 48 000 operating hours.
Before carrying out the replacement of a CAS drive which is available as a stan-
dard spare part, a new CAS drive must be ordered unless a repair kit is available on
board.
The spare parts order number is to be found in the Spare Parts Code Book, Group
9, Chapter 9601−1, within item ’Crank Angle Sensor Unit’ and named ’Shaft en-
coder drive, complete’ or ’Shaft encoder, complete (box)’.
Remark! According to IACS regulations, at least one Shaft Encoder Package box
containing the spring balance is part of the standard spare parts supply per ship.

Tools
Explanation

1. General

The tools required for erection and maintenance of the engine are divided into
three groups as per the following ’Tool List’:
− Standard tools
− Recommended special tools
− Special tools available on loan
When ordering additional tools or replacements, the tool No. as well as the tool
description including engine type must be indicated (see 9403−5).
Detailed instructions on the arrangement and application, storing, servicing and
maintenance of the hydraulic pre-tensioning jacks are given in 9403−2 to 9403−4.
When oil must be added to the hydraulic pumps, the specification regarding oil
quality issued by the pump manufacturers must be followed. Utilize generally an
engine lub. oil having viscosities SAE 30 to SAE 40.
A cylinder lubricating oil also can be used in exceptional cases.
A separate set of tools is issued for certain components from sub-suppliers, which
should also be stored separately from the engine tools.

2. Standard tools

... are tools and devices required for normal maintenance work on the engine. In
this respect take into consideration that, depending on the design execution of the
engine, certain tools and devices which are mentioned in the above sheets are not
required for specific maintenance work, and are therefore not part of the engine
tools supply.

3. Recommended special tools

... are tools and devices, which allow certain maintenance work to be done with
more ease, and in a shorter time, than with the standard tools.
These tools can be ordered separately either with the engine or at a later date.

4. Special tools available on loan

... are such tools and devices which are loaned for transportation and for erection
of the engine. They are to be returned to the engine manufacturer after completion
of engine erection.

Hydraulic Pre-tensioning Jacks
Storing, Servicing and Maintenance

1. General

The hydraulic pre-tensioning jacks forming part of the engine tool kit are to be
stored in their tool boxes when not in use, in a clean place, where they are pro-
tected from damage (after greasing them and closing the connections with dust
plugs). We recommend to always keep in stock a sufficient number of new O-rings,
back-up rings, piston seal rings and rod seal rings of the specified quality and di-
mensions.
When fitting new back-up rings, piston seal rings and rod seal rings proceed with
care, to avoid their damage; do not use any sharp edged utensils for assis-
tance.
Heat unslit back-up and sealing rings which are used as piston seal rings in boiling
water before fitting them.

Hydraulic Pre-tensioning Jacks
General Application Instructions

1. General

For distinct screwed connections different designs and sizes of waisted bolts or
waisted studs (bolts/studs) are used, which are pretensioned by hydraulic pre-ten-
sioning jacks. The bolts/studs have threads which extend over the nut. The pre-
tensioning jack is mounted on this thread end.
For each thread of the various bolts/studs a suitable pre-tensioning jack is sup-
plied. Since the bolts/studs are pretensioned with the pre-tensioning jacks, the
nuts are threaded-on only manually until seated.
Prior to the mounting of the pre-tensioning jacks, their threads as well as the
threads of the waisted bolts/studs must be carefully cleaned. The threads must be
undamaged and freely working. Concerning utilization of lubricant for screwing on
nuts the instructions in 0352−1 must be followed.
Risk of accident! Always use gloves, a face shield and wear safety goggles when
working with hydraulic tools.

2. Working procedure for loosening

⇒ Thread the pre-tensioning jack by hand onto the extending thread end of the
bolts/studs to be loosened until it is landed on the part and the piston on the
cylinder without any clearance. On pre-tensioning jacks with round nuts these
have to be slightly tightened.
D Then, depending on the design of the pre-tensioning jack, turn it or the round
nut back by about ½ to 4 turns. The clearance thus obtained between pre-ten-
sioning jack and landing face of the part or piston and cylinder is essential,
before starting the pre-tensioning of the bolts/studs. It enables the loosening
of the nut till total relaxation of the bolts/studs in one single working sequence.
⇒ Connect the HP oil pump and pre-tensioning jack with the HP hose.
⇒ Open the vent screw on top of the pre-tensioning jack a little.
⇒ Shut relief valve at the HP oil pump and actuate it. As soon as oil flows out
bubble-free close the vent screw at the pre-tensioning jack.
D When tensioning attention should be paid that the pins of the pre-tensioning
jacks protrude slightly above the upper edges of the pistons (stroke limita-
tion!).
D Pre-tensioning jacks providing red limiting grooves on the pistons, the latter
must not exceed the indicated stroke limitation.
⇒ Raise the pressure approx. 20−30 bar beyond the nominal pressure (see
0352−1). The nut is now slack, loosen it with a round bar, while keeping the
pressure constant.
⇒ Release the pressure at the HP oil pump and remove the pre-tensioning jack.

Wärtsilä Switzerland Ltd 1/ 2 2008


9403−4/A1 Maintenance RT-flex84T-D

Hydraulic Pre-tensioning Jacks: General Application Instructions

3. Working procedure for tensioning

⇒ Use a felt pen and mark the positions of the nuts, which already have been
firmly seated against their landings on the part. The marks are later a refer-
ence for judging the correct pre-tensioning.
⇒ Thread on by hand the pre-tensioning jack onto the protruding thread end of
the bolts/studs until it is fully seated without any clearance between the jack
and the part or the piston is seated on the cylinder without any clearance. On a
pre-tensioning jack with round nut tighten it lightly.
⇒ It may be necessary to turn the jack back a little to gain easy access through
the slot in the jack cylinder for manipulating a round bar to tighten the nut.
⇒ Connect HP oil pump and pre-tensioning jack by the HP hose.
⇒ Open the vent screw on top of the pre-tensioning jack a little.
⇒ Shut relief valve at the HP oil pump and actuate it. As soon as oil flows out
bubble-free close the vent screw at the pre-tensioning jack.
D When tensioning attention should be paid that the pins of the pre-tensioning
jacks protrude slightly above the upper edges of the pistons (stroke limita-
tion!).
D Pre-tensioning jacks providing red limiting grooves on the pistons, the latter
must not exceed the indicated stroke limitation.
⇒ Raise the pressure with the HP oil pump, in accordance with the indication on
the tightening of important screwed connections (see 0352−1).
⇒ Maintain the oil pressure constant at the adjusted value and use the round bar
to tighten the nut onto its seating surface until firmly seated.
Check with the feeler gauge whether actually no clearance remains between nut
CHECK and seating.
Check with the referenced markings, whether all the nuts of a screwed connection
have been turned by the same value as mentioned in 0352−1. If big differences are
noted their causes have to be investigated and the tensioning procedure must be
repeated.
⇒ Release the pressure at the HP oil pump and remove the pre-tensioning
jacks.
D For operation and maintenance of the HP oil pump we also refer to the
manufacturer’s documentation.
