Summary
The illustrations in this guideline show specific examples of reusability for gears and gear shafts for engines. Normally, the reusability of the gears is determined from the
condition of the gear teeth. Damage in other areas on the gear is not common and easily identified.
If a gear is within the specifications in this guideline, the gear can be expected to give normal performance until the next overhaul when the gear is used again in the same
application. Correct all conditions that damaged the gear.
NOTICE
The most recent Service Letters and Technical Information Bulletins
that are related to this component shall be reviewed before beginning
work. Often Service Letters and Technical Information Bulletins

The code is a Cat standard and is used to record the history of a component. The code will identify the number of rebuilds and hours at the time of each rebuild. This
information is important and should be considered for any decision to reuse a component.
Ensure that the mark is not covered by a mating part. Use a metal marking pen to mark the code onto the component.
NOTICE
Do not use numbering stamp punches to mark internal components.
The impact from striking the stamp will cause an abnormal stress riser.
The added stress riser may cause premature part failure.
Illustration 3 g06124077
DO NOT use numbering stamp punches to mark internal components.
The procedure for marking components is a Cat standard. This code is helpful when the machine is sold into a different territory after the first rebuild. During an overhaul,
the previous code of a part should never be removed.

Typical Example
Illustration 5 shows code (1-12) and code (2-10). Code (2-10) represents the information from the second rebuild. The first number (2) indicates that the gear had been
rebuilt twice. The second number (10) indicates that 10,000 hours accumulated on the gear between the first and second rebuild.
Note: Add the first and second rebuild hours to obtain the total number of hours for the gear in Illustration 5. In this example, the gear has a total of 22,000 hours.
Measurement Requirements
NOTICE
Precise measurements shall be made when the component and
measurement equipment are at 20° (68° F). Measurements shall be
made after both the component and measurement equipment have had
sufficient time to soak at 20° (68° F). This will ensure that both the
surface and core of the material is at the same temperature.
Maximum air pressure at the nozzle must be less than 205 kPa (30 psi)
for cleaning purposes.

The first step of visual examination is to prepare the surface of the part for inspection. Even thin layers of oil, grease, or other materials may hide important facts.
Generally, aggressive cleaning methods employing harsh chemicals, glass beads, soda blasting, or hand scrubbing should be avoided as these methods can remove facts
that aid in determining the type and location of additional testing that may be needed. Soft brushes and mild solvents usually work best for cleaning parts.
Illustration 6 g01201262
These cleaning methods should be avoided on parts. Surface damage during cleaning is likely.
To summarize cleaning requirements for parts, remember that the objective is to not further damage or wear areas before the areas can be inspected. Keep in mind these
things when cleaning parts:
Use a fast drying, mild solvent to soak and/or rinse parts clean.
Make sure that you remove all debris, paint, and oil but Do Not wipe, scrub, or scratch to clean part.
When you move parts that require cleaning, always use a proper lifting device. This device must protect the part from damage. For the safety of the
operator, all lifting devices must be inspected before use.
Do not wipe parts with a shop towel to dry, air dry, blow with dry compressed air, or blot dry with a paper towel.
Polishing
Note: Do not use polishing stone on shaft journals.
Illustration 7 g03885189
6V-2010 Polishing Stone and oil should be used to polish a tooth. Be aware of the adjacent tooth. The corner of the stone can easily damage adjacent teeth.
Illustration 8 g03885193
A grinder had been used on this gear in an attempt to recondition the teeth. Use 6V-2010 Polishing Stone and oil for reconditioning the teeth on a gear. Do not use a grinder. The grinding process can remove
the case hardened surface of a gear.
DO NOT USE THIS PART AGAIN.
Gears with limited damage on the surface may be used again after the damaged area has been polished with 6V-2010 Polishing Stone and oil. Caterpillar recommendsr080crc15
the
use of a polishing stone and oil. Never use a die grinder to recondition a gear. Refer to Illustration 8. Caterpillar: Confidential Yellow

NOTICE
If the tooth has a raised metal area, remove only the raised portion. Do
not try to remove pitting or any other recessed surface damage. Do not
use a grinder or power polisher, use only a hand-held stone. Using
power tools to remove damage can also remove the case hardened
surface of the gear, causing eventual failure.

New bearing sleeves were released for the following:
Adapter Assemblies
These bearing sleeves have increased durability and resistance to cavitation erosion and fatigue.
In addition, the bearing sleeve is machined after assembly. The machining of the bearing sleeve provides better control of the clearance of the bearing sleeve to shaft. The
machining also improves bearing resistance to fatigue. The adapter bearing sleeve needs no machining after assembly.
With the change of the bearing material, the interference fit between the bearing sleeve and gear or bearing sleeve and the adapter has also changed. The new interference
fit will help retain the bearing sleeve in the mating part.
As a result of reconditioning or replacing existing parts, older engines can gain the same benefits as newer engines.

Affected Engines
The improvements to the 3500 Engines came in three stages. The first stage was the release of the new bearing sleeve for the low speed idler gear assembly. The engines
with this change and the serial numbers are listed in Table 19. All the attachments that are low speed drives that were made after October 1996have the new bearing
sleeves on the front idler gear assemblies.

The second stage was the release of the new bearing sleeves on all adapter assemblies. All 3500 Engines that were manufactured after May 1996were built with the new
bearing sleeve on the front adapter assemblies.
The third stage was the release of the new bearing sleeve on all the high-speed idler gear assemblies that were manufactured after May 1997. The serial number ranges for
this change are shown in Table 20.

Item Part Number Description Option 1 Option 2 Option 3
Table 21 shows the new part numbers for the idler gear and adapter assembly and the former part numbers for the idler gear and adapter assembly.
Three options are available when the idler gear and adapter assembly in the front gear train are being reconditioned.
2. Use the original gears and/or adapters with new high strength bearing sleeves.
3. Use the original gears with new bearing sleeves that are medium strength .
The required parts for the rework vary depending on the option that is used to recondition the gear train. Table 21 shows the required parts for each particular option for
rework.
Option 1
If idler gear (4) and adapter assembly (1) are replaced with new parts, no further rework is required. The new parts will have the new high strength bearing sleeve that will
be installed, and the idler gears will be machined for the finish.
Option 2
If original idler gear (4) and/or adapter (1) is reused, new high strength bearing sleeves (2 and 3) must be pressed into the gear or the adapter. Idler gear assemblies must
then be machined. Refer to the section: "Sleeve Installation and Machining Procedure" within this document. No machining for the finish is required for the adapter
assembly.
NOTICE
If the required clearance is not maintained, the bearing sleeve could
fail and cause engine damage.
Note: Before installing the gear, make sure that the clearance between the bearing sleeve and the mating shaft meets the required specifications. High-speed idler gears
must have 0.12 ± 0.03 mm (0.005 ± 0.001 inch) clearance between the bearing sleeve and the shaft. Low speed idler gears must have 0.09 ± 0.03 mm (0.004 ± 0.001 inch)
clearance. Prior to machining the bearing sleeve, measure the shaft and maintain the required clearance.
Option 3
Original idler gear (4) and new bearing sleeves that are medium strength (2) and (3) with the overlay that is lead tin can be used if there is no evidence of bearing
cavitation or fatigue. If the procedure for machining for the finish cannot be completed on the bearing that is high strength, use the bearing sleeve that is medium strength.
After the bearing sleeves that are medium strength are installed, no machining is required.
When bearing sleeves are replaced, use the installation and the removal procedure in the appropriate Service Manual. The same removal procedure for the former bearing
sleeves is used for new bearings.
The specifications in the Table 22 are for installation and the machining of the inside diameter of the new bearing sleeves.
1. When an idler gear assembly (4) is reconditioned, the bearing sleeve (3) is installed into the gear to depth (C).

During rebuild, refer to Table 23 to determine which parts must be replaced. The parts that are listed in the Replace as Needed column should be checked during each
rebuild. The parts that are listed under the column, Option, are the parts that are required for that particular option for rework. Some parts are not common with all engine
models. Those parts are the assemblies of the cluster idler gear, the bearing sleeves, and the shafts. For these parts, order the part number that is required for the specific
engine model. Not all the parts in the gear group have changed.
Several changes were made to improve the service life and reliability of the rear gear train. These changes include new gears, bearing sleeves, and gear shafts. As a result
of reconditioning or replacing existing parts, older engines can gain the same benefits as newer engines.
The following list of improvements is divided into two sections: 3500 and 3500B Changes that affect both series of engines will be discussed in each section.
3500
New drive gears for the cam, idler gears, and cluster gears are used. The new parts now have a deeper depth of the case of hardened material. The new parts are case
carburized.
A new 100-8310 Rear Gear Gp has been developed. The new rear gear group is a direct replacement for the former 4W-5906 Rear Gear Gp. The new gear group is
now effective with all the 3516 marine engines. The serial number 4MJ34 is adapted with the new gear group. The gear group is adaptable to all earlier engines. The
new 100-6518 Camshaft Drive Gear that is heavier has increased rotational inertia. This improvement has lowered the mesh torques for gear to gear, which has
resulted in an increase of the service life of the gear.
Illustration 84 g06177130
Camshaft Drive Gear. Gear (A) on left shows a cross section of 100-6518 Camshaft Drive Gear. Gear (B) on right shows 7E-3897 Camshaft Drive Gear.
New 8 pitch gears are available for the small cluster gear, idler gear, and the camshaft drive gear for 3516-Phase II Marine and Generator Set Engines. The 8 pitch
gears can handle more torque than the former 10 pitch gears. This new gear results in increased service life of the gear. This change is not retrofitted to the earlier
engines because of a change to the flywheel housing for allowing the larger gears.
The bearing sleeves in the cluster gears and idler gears have been changed from aluminum bearing sleeves with steel backing to bronze bearing sleeves with steel
backing. This change will increase the resistance to fatigue for the bearing.
The cluster and idler gear shafts are slightly larger in diameter. This change reduces the clearance between the shaft and the sleeve bearings to minimize the wobble
of the gear.
The new shafts for the cluster gear and the idler gear have two smaller oil supply holes instead of one hole with a large diameter. This improvement will provide
better distribution of the oil to the bearing sleeve.
Idler gear shafts have a thicker flange to prevent breakage at the corners of the half flange.
The bolt pattern and shaft diameter of the idler gear shaft has been changed. The new shaft has a bolt hole pattern with three bolt holes instead of a bolt hole pattern
with two bolt holes to secure the idler shaft to the block. The new idler shaft uses three 5/8-11 bolts. The former idler shaft used two 5/8-11 or two 1/2-13 bolts. The
shaft diameter has also changed to accept the new bolt hole pattern. 3500 and 3500B cylinder blocks are now common cylinder blocks.
A new bronze bearing sleeve with a steel backing 125-9751 bearing sleeve has been released with a larger outer diameter to increase the interference fit between the
gear and bearing sleeve. This bearing sleeve will result in better retaining of the bearing sleeve in the camshaft idler gear assembly.

The interference fit between the small cluster gears and the large cluster gears has been increased. This increase will provide the retention of the joint and will
reduce the risk of slippage of the joint of the gear.
The cylinder block and the idler gear thrust washers have been changed to accept the three bolt hole pattern.
3500B
With the release of the 3500B, the pitch of the small cluster, idler, and camshaft drive gear has been changed from 10 to 8. The reduced pitch provides better
carrying capability for torque.
The interference fit between the small cluster gears and the large cluster gears has been increased. This increase will provide the retention of the joint and will
reduce the risk of slippage of the joint of the gear.
The following sections in this guideline describe the specifications and procedures to recondition existing parts to take advantage of the listed improvements.
The improvements to the 3500 Engines came in several stages. The first stage included the replacement of the former gears with the new case carburized gears. The
engines and the serial numbers that were affected by this change are listed in Table 24.
The second stage incorporated the introduction of the new bronze bearing sleeves with steel backing, the change in diameter and number of oil feed holes to the cluster
and idler shafts, and the change to provide a thicker flange on the idler shaft. Also, the bolts that secure the idler shaft were changed from 1/2-13 to 5/8-11. Table 25 lists
the engines that are affected by these changes. Engines that are first listed in the Table 25 include the change to the case carburized gears.
The third stage included the increase in the number of bolts that secure the idler shaft from two bolts to three bolts. Also, a common block was provided for 3500 and
3500B Engines. Refer to Special Instruction, SEHS9826, "Ordering "Series B" Replacement Cylinder Blocks for 3500 Series Engines" for more information. Table 26
lists the engines and the serial numbers that are affected by this change.
The next stage was to release 8 pitch gears for 3516-Phase II Marine and Generator Set Engines. The effective serial numbers for the affected engines are listed in Table
27.
Next, the interference fit between the idler gear and bearing sleeve was increased. Table 28 lists the engines and the serial numbers that are affected by this change.
Next, the interference fit between the small cluster gear and the large cluster gear was increased. The effective serial numbers for the affected engines are listed in Table
29.
Note: Not all serial numbers are listed in Table 29. All engines that were manufactured after June 1995contain cluster gears with an increased interference fit.

The parts that are required for the rework may vary depending on the option that is used to recondition the gear train. Table 23 shows the part number, under the column,
Option, which is required for that particular option for rework. Each option is explained in more detail below.
Option 1
If all the gears and the shafts in the rear gear train are replaced, then modifying or reworking of the bolt holes which retain the idler gear shaft (8) is the only action that is
needed. If the current engine block has 5/8-11 threaded holes or a pattern of three bolt holes, then no modification is necessary. If the holes are 1/2-13, then the holes must
be drilled and tapped according to the rework procedure. "Rework of Bolt Holes in Cylinder Block" in this guideline.
Option 2
If the original gears are used again, then new bronze bearing sleeves must be pressed into the gear and machined to a finish. The "All Camshaft Idler Gear and Cluster
Gear Assemblies" section in this guideline provides a procedure for this operation. Also, check the bolt holes in the cylinder block that retain idler gear shaft (9) to
determine if the bolt holes should be reworked.
Option 3
If the original shafts and gears are used again with the new bronze bearing sleeves, then the new bearing sleeves must be pressed into the gear and machined to a finish.
Idler gear shafts (8) and the shaft for the cluster gear (8) must also be reworked for a second oil hole, if necessary. This rework procedure is contained in the "Reworking
Idler and Cluster Gear Shafts" section.
Option 4
If the original cylinder block has two 1/2-13 or two 5/8-11 tapped holes for the shaft of the rear camshaft idler gear and the replacement block has three tapped holes, new
idler gears (3) and idler gear shafts (8) are required. The original cluster gear (14) and the shaft of the cluster gear (7) can be used again. If the original cluster gear
assembly is used again, then new bronze bearing sleeves must be pressed into the gear and machined to a finish. The "All Camshaft Idler Gear and Cluster Gear
Assemblies" section provides a procedure for this operation. The shaft of the cluster gear (8) must also be reworked for a second oil hole, if necessary.
Note: Maintain the correct clearance between the shaft and idler gear and cluster gear. The clearance in diameter between the shaft and idler gear is 0.060 ± 0.020 mm
(0.0024 ± 0.0008 inch). The clearance in diameter between the shaft and cluster gear is 0.070 ± 0.020 mm (0.0028 ± 0.0008 inch). Prior to machining the bearing sleeve,
take a measurement from the shaft and maintain the above clearance.
One improvement to the gear group was the increase of the size of the bolts (9) that retain the idler shaft to the cylinder block. This rework procedure contains the tool list,
instructions, and dimensions for drilling and tapping the bolt holes for the idler shaft.
Reconditioning the bolt holes of the idler shaft in the block is an acceptable repair, and will cost less than replacing the cylinder block.

Earlier rear gear trains used 1/2-13 1A-5822 Bolts which were tightened to 135 ± 15 N·m (100.0 ± 11.0 lb ft).
Current rear gear trains use 5/8-11 1B-4367 Bolts which are tightened to 240 ± 20 N·m (176.0 ± 15.0 lb ft). These bolts are used in newer models, or rear groups which
were salvaged by tapping the holes to 5/8-11.
Note: Add this new information on bolt tightening to the module for specifications and the module for Disassembly and Assembly in the appropriate Service Manuals.
This procedure is for reworking idler gear shaft (9) and the shaft of the cluster gear (8). If the original shafts ( 1N-4054 Idler Shaft, 4W-4998 Gear Shaft, or 4W-5014
Idler Shaft) are used again, then the shafts must be reworked to provide a second oil hole. This oil hole is made by extending the current oil hole through to the other side
of the shaft.
The oil hole of the shaft can be drilled on a small drill press. The shaft must be clamped in a vise. The speed of the spindle should be approximately 440 rpm. Illustrations

Insert the new bearing sleeve using a hydraulic press. Ensure that the bearing sleeve is centered and square in the gear bore unless the assembly print of the gear lists a
specific depth for the bearing sleeve. Also make sure that the oil passages in the bearing sleeve are lined with the oil slots in the gear.
Note: Verify the depth of the bore in the gear by looking at the assembly print of the gear.
Locate the gear on the pitch line datum using the following procedure. Locating on the pitch line datum provides the most consistent and repeatable true position needed
for the bearing sleeve bore. The utilization of the pitch line datum minimizes the compounding errors from multiple machining operations and tolerances.
Note: The locating gage pins for the pitch line must be used (refer to Table 33). Failure to properly align the bearing sleeve for machining and check required
machining specifications, can cause gear train failures.
Each type of gear will require the use of a specific gage pin set. The gage pins are readily available commercially but also can be made. Care must be taken to precisely
machine these gage pins to specification due to the close tolerances of the gage pin diameters. If these gage pins are to be made, the use of 52100 alloy steel is
recommended. These gage pins are Class ZZ and have an allowed deviation of 0.00508 mm (0.00020 inch), geometry of 0.00254 mm (0.00010 inch), and a surface
texture of 0.2540 µm (10.000 µin) Ra. Each gage pin must be machined for each individual gear set according to specified dimensions. Refer to Tables 32 and 33 for
correct gage pin size.
First rough center the gear on the lathe. If desired, the use of a cone fitting on the tail stock can help with this process.

Hardened gage pins clamped in place under the clamping teeth.
To accomplish locating the pitch line datum, use a matched set of hardened gage pins held under the clamping teeth of the cutting machine. Refer to Illustration 104.
An alternative for using clamped gage pins is to use a matched set of magnetic gage pins next to the jaws to attain a pitch line. Refer to Illustration 105.
The diameter of the gage pins used will vary with different gear sizes. Refer to Table 33 for gage pin and gear matching information.
After securing the gear and the correct gage pins, the gear must be aligned for cutting. Take readings on the outer side of the gage pins with a properly affixed dial
indicator, refer to Illustration 106. This measurement will ensure that the gear is centered in the machine in relation to the pitch line datum of the gear teeth.
Note: If using magnetic gage pins, take care the magnetic draw of the gage pins does not cause an inaccurate reading of the dial indicator.
Continue to adjust the locating jaws until the reading of the dial indicator is within the tolerance listed in "Max Pitch TIR" within Table 33.
Check the face perpendicularly with the dial indicator, refer to Table 33 for the minimum specifications.

Adjust the surface of the gear until within "Maximum Gear Perpendicular Runout" specification found within Table 33. The gear is now centered by the pitch line and
perpendicular to the cutting machine. Recheck the gage pins to ensure that the face adjustment has not compromised the pitch adjustment.
Note: If the stub shaft is to be reused, then check the stub shaft prior to machining the bearing sleeve.
The best results for machining the gear bearing sleeve is obtained by using two passes. The first pass will machine the bearing sleeve to within 0.051 mm (0.002 inch) or
less. The second and final pass will machine to final size and final surface texture. When done correctly, this two-step procedure will leave an acceptable finish requiring
no further attention.
Note: The feed and RPM rates for your individual cutting tool, machine, and gear will vary to achieve the best surface texture. Various cutting tools have been used with
different RPM and feed rates to achieve similar results. For example, a Valenite cutter using a TNMP432 insert used at 1800 RPM and a 0.04572 mm (0.0018 inch) feed
rate produced similar results as a CNMG432MP insert at 850 RPM and a 0.04064 mm (0.0016 inch) feed rate.
Note: The required specifications for cutting aluminum bearing sleeves are in Section "Machining Aluminum Bearing Sleeves" below.
Using high RPM and slow feed rate will produce the best finish results.
Machining of the aluminum bearing sleeve requires cutting inserts particular to the properties of the metal. Successful trials were conducted using Kennametal insert
number TPGT3252HP KC5410. This insert was used along with Kennametal tool boring bar E16STFPR3 KWH. The tooling was used at 900 RPM with a feed-rate of
.0019. Generously applied WD-40 was used as a cutting lubricant. The resulting surface texture easily exceeded print specifications noted in the"Specifications" Table.
Consult your tool vendor for other tooling that has the same geometry.
Critical features such as the bore diameter and surface texture must be checked. The use of proper accuracy of the dial bore gauge, such as the one shown in Illustration
109, is necessary for inspecting the bearing sleeve diameter. Refer to Table 33 for diameter specifications. Check the bore diameter at 3-4 different depths to assure there
is no taper. Rotate the gauge inside the bearing sleeve to check that the diameter is not out of round.
Note: The gauge resolution should be 10% of the tolerance window. So, if tolerance is ± 0.0005 mm (± 0.00002 inch) the tolerance window is 0.001 mm (0.00004 inch)
and the resolution must read at least 0.001 mm (0.00004 inch). r080crc15

Checking Bearing Sleeve Surface Texture
After machining and inspecting the interior diameter of the gear bearing sleeve, it is critical to inspect the surface texture. Use 448-3698 Profilometer is recommended for
measuring the surface texture. Refer to Section "Specifications" for the finish specifications.
Note: Before measuring the surface texture of the bearing sleeve, make sure that the bearing sleeve is clean and free of debris that could make the reading inaccurate.
