Troubleshooting Section
2. Verify that the timing of the crankshaft and
camshaft drive
gears are set with the proper
orientation. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly
for information that is related to the correct gear
installation
.
Unit Injectors
1. Perform the “Cylinder Cutout Test” on Cat ET in
order to try to isolate any cylinders that may be
misfiring. A m
isfiring cylinder could be related to
an injector that is worn or in poor repair. Refer to
Troubleshooting, “Injector Solenoid Circuit - Test”.
2. Cut out each individual cylinder for 30 to 60
seconds. Verify that the smoke decreases.
Flash File
Verify that t
he correct flash file is installed. Refer to
Troubleshooting, “System Configuration Parameters”.
Fuel Supply
1. Inspect the fuel system components.
2. Check the fuel pressure during engine cranking.
Check the filtered fuel pressure. Refer to Systems
Operation/
Testing and Adjusting for the correct
pressure values. If the fuel pressure is low,
replace the fuel filters. If the fuel pressure is still
low, check
the following items: fuel transfer pump,
fuel transfer pump coupling, and fuel pressure
regulating valve.
3. Check the fuel quality. Low cetane fuel can create
whitesmoke.Ifnecessary,replacethefuelwitha
higher ce
tane fuel.
4. Cold weather adversely affects the characteristics
of the fue
l. Refer to the Operation and
Maintenance Manual for information on improving
the characteristics of the fuel during cold weather
operatio
n.
Component Wear
Check the engine for the following problems:
Excessive valve wear, piston wear, ring wear, liner
wear, an
d reduced compression pressure.
Cooling S ystem
Check for an internal coolant leak into the
cylinder and/or the exhaust. Refer to Systems
Operati
on/Te sting and Adjusting for information on
inspecting the cooling system.

Fuel in Cooling System
SMCS Code: 1350
-035
The probable root cause is a damaged O-ring seal
for a fuel injec
tor.
Perform the following procedure:
Remove the valve cover. Remove the fuel supply.
Disconnect the fuel return line from the cylinder head.
Cap the fuel re
turn connector and apply 700 kPa
(102 psi) maximum air pressure to the fuel supply
connector. Check for fuel leakage around each fuel
injector. If
leakage is present, remove the leaking fuel
injector. Install a new O-ring seal onto the injector.
Install the injector. Connect the fuel return line. Install
the valve cov
er. Verify that the problem is resolved.

Fuel Diluti on of Eng ine Oil
SMCS Code: 1348-035
Probable Causes
•
Leaking seals on the body or the sleeve of the unit
injector
•
Excessive leakage from the unit injector tip or a
broken unit injector tip
•
Cracked cylinder head o r leaking cylinder head
gasket
•
Leakage of the drive shaft seal on the fuel transfer
pump
Recommended Actions
Leaking Seals on the Body or the Sleeve
of the Unit Injector
Check the torque for the unit injector clamp retaining
bolts. Ensure that the unit injectors are properly
installed into the cylinder head.
If damage to the unit injector sleeves or to the O-ring
seals is suspected, remove the unit injectors and/or
the unit injector sleeves. Inspect the O-ring seals and
the unit injector sleeves for damage. Replace any
seals or sleeves that show evidence of leakage.
