liner height 6nz c15

But did you bolt the liner down and check that measurement?

 

If you're trying to save money by not buying the right parts to check this stuff with from Cat, you should know that you only need six bolts, six steel washers, and six fiber washers to do it, you can just do one cylinder at a time. If they're measuring low with the spacer on, then answer isn't to measure it with the spacer off. If they're all within spec using the method Mr Haney described, you can buy the thinner spacer plate and put it back together. I shouldn't have given you those numbers to measure it with the spacer off, those numbers are meaningless.

Mr Haney, thanks for walking me through this the other day, btw.

 

There is a specification by Cat for this, I just don't know what it is. I have my book for the B models but don't know if its different than the newer ones.

BTW, liners aren't that expensive if you have to go that route.

 

Hey, just wanted to say how much I appreciate you guys and this forum. Pulled the head off my tractor today. It's a c-15 acert, NSX. It was useing too much water and after a pull on the dyno it started useing more. None in oil, just a white plum out the stack on a strong pull. I did notice substancially more carbon on piston #1, and injector cut out was wnl prior to disassembly. Suspect leaky injector...
