Installing the Crossheads & Crosshead Guides
The crosshead guides are bolted into the main frame with clamp bars and bolts. To
install, use the following procedure.
NOTE
If the original crosshead guides are being reinstalled, it is vitally important to
ensure that the guides and shims are reinstalled in the exact location that they
were removed from. Failure to do so will result in excessive piston and liner wear.
1
Insert and position the crosshead guides
within the frame (see above note), then bolt
to secure.
2
Install the outer race of the wrist pin bearing
as per 5.3.5: Installing the Wrist Pin Bearing
and then pack the wrist pin bearing rollers
with grease to ensure that the rollers stay
against the outer race during the wrist pin
installation.
3
Insert the crosshead into the power frame,
aligning the wrist pin slot in the center with
the wrist pin slot in the connecting rod.
