100 years ago or so I struggled with a case backhoe engine that had a liner protrusion problem. Case had different fire ring sizes so I used a depth mike to figure out what was needed and ordered the parts. It was somewhat hit or miss at first until I dug deep into the books. Good news I fixed the engine and got a lot of experience r+r of the head.

Wish I had a picture for destruction of the week. My brother recently took delivery of a New Cat 335 zero swing excavator. $400K machine. A young kid that was not supposed to run it, got in to move a bedding box. ( a steel box gravel is placed in to be placed around a pipe in a trench ) . He had the box close to the cab, and then tracked over a 2 ft high dirt mound. The bedding box came off the bucket teeth, into the cab. Broke all the glass out, and bent the front “A “ pillars of the cab. That is also the ROPS. ( roll over protection structure) 34 hours on the excavator ! It’s at Cat in Grand Junction Colorado now getting a new cab. The only good news, several machines use the same cab. So availability isn’t going to as big of an issue, as first thought.

I remember after the rebuild on my former DDEC-4, lot's of blow-by, white smoke, and the failed bottle test, it was because the tech who reassembled the engine (not the same one who took it apart) was a low-hour fresh out of school with no supervision had installed the head gasket upside down which you can do on that engine. It was the original tech who tore it down the second time and it was he who made the discovery and the reason it became a warranty job which the shop paid 100%. On the engine you are now working on, I suspect an issue with liner protrusion or worse, a warped head since it was a short-block swap. Chances are they did not check the head for straightness before placing it on this engine. Only two things I can think of that can warp a head is overheating, or improper torquing of head bolts or torquing out of sequence. That's my two cents and I swear by it.

Got lucky on that one in that it did it in the shop rather than risking a bent rod or other damage trying to start it elsewhere. Had that happen on my car with a direct injected gas engine that had a stuck injector. The pressure in the gas tank while it sat literally pushed all of the fuel into the motor, and all the oil in the crankcase went into the exhaust, and needless to say, it wasn't keen on turning over when I wanted to pull it into the garage to fix it. Just a click and the lights going dim.

On engines with cylinder liners like this one it’s critical they’re the right height after install. The liner actually sticks up a little and that’s what helps it seal. Even if the head bolts are torqued perfectly it won’t clamp the gasket like it should if they liners aren’t high enough.

Once I figure out the cylinder, I mark and check head bolt torque. This could be a warranty situation. That is why I like a reman long block, as if a head gasket joint failure occurs. It pushes a lot of blame on Cat as they installed the head. Of course it has to be a legal engine. Per Cat guide lines, all liners come out. All head bolts and spacer plate replaced. Flycut cracks I hate. PSI test the head and it is good, warranty won't pay unless it has failed into the coolant passage. What is your back log on cylinder heads? Longest one in our store, was ordered in August of last year. Waiting on one I ordered, (Dec of 2022) EST is March 13.

Had a deleted ISX crack a head and was pushing and eating coolant. Was told to drive it back 2000K miles. Not knowing at first, I shut it down. Didn’t want to start the first time and locked up the second time a couple hours later. So I rotated the engine over by hand to squeeze the coolant out of the cylinders. Several rotations. Worked to get it started. It ran the next 2 days and 2K miles. It shut down while I was in the shower 30 mins from delivery and wouldn’t restart. Towed it and pulled the head to find a very similar crack. I’ve heard that truck has cracked that head 3 more times since then, 100K miles each time. Don’t delete your EGR! Anyway, just a tip if you find yourself in this predicament on the road.
