(1) Removal of the main bearing cap, lower bearing shell, and thrust bearing 

  Cummings INLINE 6 Diagnostic Adapter for Heavy Duty Truck High Quality  

① Rotate the engine on the test bench so that the oil pan mounting flange faces upward. The markings on the main bearing cap must match the numbers on the cylinder block oil pan flange, see Figure 2-134. During installation, the numbers on the main bearing cap and oil pan flange should match, and the locating tongue of the main bearing cap must be aligned with the locating tongue. 

 

② Use the ST-1178 main bearing cap puller to remove the main bearing cap, see Figure 2-135. The No. 4 main bearing cap is connected to the cylinder block by a locating pin, and the No. 4 main bearing shell is fitted with a thrust bearing. During disassembly, it is strictly forbidden to shake the main bearing cap; only the puller can be used to pull the main bearing cap vertically upward.

 ③ Remove the lower bearing shell from the main bearing cover and mark the journal number at the time of disassembly on the surface of the locating tongue, as shown in Figure 2-136. 

 

 ④ Remove the lower thrust bearing from the No. 4 main bearing cover and mark it with the letters "L" and "front" or "rear", as shown in Figure 2-137.

 

 

 

 

 

 Remove the upper thrust bearing from spindle journal No. 4 and mark it with the letters "U" and either "front" or "rear", as shown in the figure.  2-138。

 

 

(2) Crankshaft and Upper Bearing Removal

 ① Place nylon slings on connecting rod journals No. 3 and No. 4, and use a crane to remove the crankshaft, as shown in Figure 2-139. 

 

 ② Remove the upper bearing and mark the journal number at the time of removal on the surface of the bearing locating tongue, as shown in Figure 2-140.

How to disassemble the pistons and connecting rods of a Cummins M11 series engine

 (1) Installing the Engine Turning Tool: Install the engine turning tool onto the flywheel end of the crankshaft using two bolts, see Figure 2-123.

 (2) Removing the Piston Cooling Nozzles: Before disassembling the piston and connecting rod assembly, the piston cooling nozzles must be removed to avoid damaging them. Use the turning tool to continuously rotate the crankshaft to remove all nozzles. Remove each retaining screw and nozzle, see Figure 2-124. 

(3) Removing the Piston and Connecting Rod: ① Rotate the crankshaft to expose the carbon deposits above the piston inside the cylinder liner. Remove the carbon deposits using a fine-fiber abrasive pad (such as Scotch-Brite 7448, part number 3823258 or equivalent) and solvent, see Figure 2-125.

 ② Use a crankshaft turning tool to rotate the crankshaft and fix the connecting rod at the bottom dead center (BDC) position so that the connecting rod bolts can be removed and loosened, as shown in Figure 2-126.

 ③ Use a hammer to tap the connecting rod bolt head to loosen the connecting rod cap from the annular locating pin. Remove the connecting rod bolt and connecting rod cap, see Figure 2-127. 

 

 ④ Mark the cylinder number and the letter "L" on the surface of the lower bearing locating tongue, see Figure 2-128. However, it is strictly forbidden to make marks on the mating surface between the bearing and the crankshaft, to avoid damaging the crankshaft if the bearing continues to be used.

 Install the connecting rod guide pin (part number 3376038) in the connecting rod bolt hole. Use a wooden dowel and a hammer to push the connecting rod away from the crankshaft, as shown in Figure 2-129. Continue pushing the connecting rod until the piston rings protrude from the cylinder block.

  

 Remove the piston and connecting rod assembly and mark it, as shown in Figure 2-130. If the removed piston and connecting rod assembly is still usable, it must be reassembled with the original cylinder number.

Remove the piston and connecting rod assembly and mark it, as shown in Figure 2-130. If the removed piston and connecting rod assembly is still usable, it must be reassembled with the original cylinder number. Place the piston and connecting rod assembly on a special test bench to prevent damage, as shown in Figure 2-131.

 

8. Mark the connecting rod and its mating connecting rod cap with special markings, as shown in Figure 2-132. During assembly, the markings on the connecting rod and connecting rod cap must match and be on the same side of the engine. 

 

Remove the upper connecting rod bearing and mark the cylinder number and the letter "u" on the flat surface of the locating tongue, as shown in Figure 2-133.
