Regularly check the piston clearance (recommended 0.05-0.08 mm). Using genuine Caterpillar-specified engine oil can effectively extend piston life.

 

When disassembling, pay attention to marking the piston orientation. When installing new piston rings, offset the opening position by 120 degrees.

 

Avoid high-load operation immediately after a cold start; this is especially important for piston protection.
