experienced technicians in accordance with instructions in this

manual.

The procedures required to replace an engine will vary with different engine models, the
type of equipment, optional equipment, and the shop facilities. Use the following
procedures as a guide.

NOTE: All removal and replacement steps do not apply to all types of equipment.
Complete only the steps that apply to the equipment involved. Use the OEM's
recommendations and precautions for the removal and installation of chassis
components needed to gain access to the engine.

These procedures apply to all QSK38, K38, QSK50, and K50 engines. A KTA38 engine
is shown as an example. The differences between the example and KTTA38, KTA50,
and KTTA50 engines are included in the instructions. The differences between engine
model due to the application, the optional equipment on the engine, and the year the
engine was built are included in the instructions. Omit any procedures that do not apply
to the engine being rebuilt.

A caution statement is included for any component or assembly that weighs more than
23 kg [50 lb]. To reduce the possibility of personal injury, use a hoist or get assistance to
lift the component.

WARNING
The engine lifting equipment must be designed to lift the engine and
transmission as an assembly without causing personal injury.

CAUTION
All fasteners are not given just in U.S. Customary measurements.
Special attention must be given to the use of appropriate sized
fasteners. All fasteners have right-handed threads unless a caution
states that a fastener has left-handed threads.

Disassembly:

The instructions in this procedure are organized in a logical sequence to disassemble an

engine. This is not the only sequence that can be used to disassemble an engine.
Certain parts must be removed in the sequence indicated. Use this sequence until you
become familiar with the engine.

Discard all gaskets, seals, hoses, filters, and o-rings. Keep these parts only if they are
needed for a failure analysis.

Label, tag, or mark the parts for location as the parts are removed. This practice aids
future identification of the parts that can be involved in a failure analysis and aids the
assembly procedure.

Label, tag, or photograph all special equipment prior to the removal from an engine. This
engine assembly procedure does not include the installation of special optional
equipment.

Force is required to remove certain parts. A mallet must be used when force is required.
All of the fasteners must be removed before using force.

Avoid as much dirt as possible during disassembly. The accumulation of additional dirt
makes it more difficult to clean the components.

Assembly:

This procedure assumes that all of the components and assemblies have been cleaned,
replaced, or rebuilt and are ready to be installed on the engine.

Torque values are listed in each procedure. If a torque value is not specified, use the
chart listed in the specifications in Procedure 018-009 in Section V to determine the
correct torque value.

Many of the gaskets and o-rings are manufactured from a material designed to absorb
oil. These gaskets will enlarge and provide a tight seal after coming in contact with oil.
Use only a recommended contact adhesive or a vegetable based oil to install these
parts.

If the capscrew length is not specified, use the formula in the Specifications (Section V)
to determine the correct capscrew length. The use of a longer capscrew than the
capscrew that is listed can result in damage to the engine.
