Cleaning Procedures
General
Illustration 18 g02085634
Illustration 19 g02085635
Improper care of parts during Disassembly and Assembly can cause a future failure of the turbocharger. Inspect the parts for defects in
order to be sure that the parts can be used again. Use Magnus 763 N/F or a similar heavy-duty carbon solvent to loosen the carbon
from the parts. For the best results, use a small closed tank for cleaning with the solvent. Make sure that the tank is agitated. After the
carbon is loosened, use a hard bristle brush and remove all dirt particles. Clean all drilled passages with air under pressure.
NOTICE
Do not use caustic solutions, wire brushes, or wire wheels to remove carbon
deposits from any turbocharger part.
Removal of carbon deposits on some parts is difficult with solvent. Those parts can be cleaned with glass beads. Use glass beads (size
10) that are 0.08 mm (0.003 inch) to 0.15 mm (0.006 inch) with 551.6 kPa (80.00 psi) to 620.5 kPa (90.00 psi) air pressure.
Some turbocharger parts must be polished with 266-3452 Emery Polishing Paper . Turbocharger parts that are cleaned with glass
beads or polished with emery polishing paper must be cleaned in a solvent before reassembly. Put oil on cleaned parts in order to
prevent corrosion.
Illustration 20 g01410053
Typical Example
Masking tape is used on the shaft and the bearing journals for protection from glass beads.
Illustration 21 g01410109
Typical Example
Note: Do not allow the glass beads to hit the bearing journals.
The carbon deposits must be removed from the seal ring grooves before the side clearance of the seal ring can be checked. Remove the
carbon deposits with a hard bristle brush, a piece of the metal oil seal ring, or glass beads. After the carbon is removed from the seal
ring grooves, lightly polish the side walls of the groove with 266-3452 Emery Polishing Paper .
Lacquer and carbon deposits that cannot be removed from the shaft with a heavy-duty carbon solvent and bristle brush can be removed
with a Scotch-Brite very fine general-purpose pad. Before the Scotch-Brite pad is used, put a clean, lightweight oil on the surface of the
shaft. For best results with the Scotch-Brite pad, turn the wheel and shaft assembly in a lathe.
After the wheel and shaft assembly is cleaned, dry thoroughly with clean moisture free air. Put lightweight oil on the bearing journals and
seal surfaces in order to prevent rust and corrosion.
Compressor Wheels
Illustration 22 g01410114
Typical Example
NOTICE
Do not use glass beads on the compressor wheel bore or the mounting faces
around the bore. Use tape or plugs to protect this area during glass beading.
Thoroughly wash the compressor wheel in solvent after glass beading.
Center housing/">Housing
Illustration 23 g01410119
Typical Example
If the glass beads are used to clean the center housings, use plugs that extend into the area of the bore so the plugs are over the complete length
of the bearing bore.
To remove some of the carbon deposits on the inside of the center housing, use glass beads through the oil return hole at the bottom of
the center housing.
NOTICE
Never assemble a turbocharger before the center housing is thoroughly
cleaned with a heavy-duty carbon solvent.
Illustration 24 g02086376
Typical Example
The critical areas of the compressor housing and the turbine housing are the mounting flanges where the cartridge is attached to the
housings. All foreign material should be removed from these areas, as shown.
Inspection Procedure
ReferenceRefer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8018, "Visual Inspection of Turbochargers" for more information.
ReferenceRefer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8403, "Reuse Specifications for ABB housing/">Housings on 3500 Engines" for
more information on allowable cracks in compressor housings and turbine housings.
Small lip on compressor wheel that can be felt with your fingernail
USE AGAIN
Illustration 26 g02140582
Removing small burrs
Sometimes, the compressor wheel has a small lip that can be felt with your fingernail. This is caused from a small amount of rubbing
against the compressor housing. This part can be used again, after the compressor wheel is cleaned and media blasted. Small burrs
can also be removed with fine grit sandpaper.
Illustration 27 g02086290
Typical Example
Slight rubbing in the compressor housing from contact with compressor wheel
USE AGAIN
Illustration 28 g02139898
Turbine housing/">Housing
The studs on the turbine housing should always be replaced each time the turbocharger is serviced. The tapped holes in the flange
should be inspected for damage. A Heli-Coil can be used to repair damaged threads, if necessary.
Illustration 29 g02139901
Turbine housing/">Housing Insert
The turbine housing insert is usually OK to use again. Check the threads of the tapped holes. A Heli-Coil can be used to repair damaged
threads, if necessary.
Illustration 30 g02139900
Compressor housing/">Housing
The flange of the compressor housing should be inspected for damage. The flange can be welded, if necessary. Belzona can also be
used for pitting on the face of the flange if required.
Illustration 31 g02139903
Diffuser Ring
The diffuser ring is normally OK to use again. Check the fins for damage and straightness.
Illustration 32 g02139906
Seals and Rings
The seals and the rings should ALWAYS be replaced with new. NEVER Reuse the old seals or the old rings.
Illustration 33 g02139965
Nozzle Ring
The nozzle ring can be cleaned with plastic media blasting and used again. Check the fins for damage and check the seal groove for
damage such as dents or cracks.
Illustration 34 g02139981
Compressor Insert
The compressor insert should be cleaned and inspected. Check the internal surface for nicks and scratches. Inspect the seal groove for
dents or other damage.
Shaft Bearings
The following table lists guidelines for replacing the bearing. This guideline should only be used if the axial clearances and the radial
clearances of the bearing were within specifications. Refer to ""Checking the Clearances of the Bearings" ". If the clearances of the
bearings were determined to be at the Maximum limits during inspection, the bearings should be replaced regardless of the condition in
order to provide a good service life.

Turbine Shaft
Illustration 35 g01410160
Use 5P-6518 Dial Indicator Fixture Gp to check for bent shafts.
Illustration 36 g02139803
Example of a V Block and Dial Indicator
Use the 5P-6518 Dial Indicator Fixture Gp and the following procedure to measure the bend in wheel and shaft assemblies.
Note: A V block and dial indicator can also be used to measure the turbine wheel shaft.
1. Put the wheel and shaft assembly in 5P-6518 Dial Indicator Fixture Gp so the bearing journals are on the vee blocks.
Note: Refer to Special Instruction, SMHS6998, "Instructions For The Use Of 5P-6518 Fixture Group - Parts Reusability" for
complete instructions on the use of the 5P-6518 Dial Indicator Fixture Gp .
2. Put the dial indicator next to the threaded area on the shaft. Adjust the dial indicator to zero.
3. Turn the wheel and shaft assembly in the Vee shaped blocks from the side with the wheel.
Note: The wheel and shaft assembly must not be pushed sideways and the wheel and shaft assembly must not be pushed down
while the wheel and shaft assembly is being turned. For best results, use one finger to turn the wheel.
4. While the wheel and shaft assembly is turned, look at the dial indicator in order to get the TIR. If the TIR is 0.05 mm (0.002 inch)
or less, the wheel and shaft assembly can be used again.
Balancing Components
Caterpillar recommends balancing the turbine wheel and the compressor wheel each time the turbocharger is serviced. Because of the
large size of the components, balancing will ensure that no problems exist with either component. The amount of time required to
balance a component is small, and the benefits of balancing outweigh the loss of time that is required to balance the components.
Some factors that may cause a component to be unbalanced include the following items:
Erosion of the blade edges on the components caused by the presence of solid particles in the intake air or exhaust gas.
There is visible mechanical damage to the turbine shaft and/or compressor wheel
When the turbine shaft and/or compressor wheel have been repaired/machined
