5. To see if No. I piston on the compression stroke, look at the valves of No. I cylinder. The valves will be closed if No. I cylinder is on the compres­sion stroke. You should be able to move the rocker arms (4) up and down with your hand.

LOCATING TOP CENTER

Plug in hole for timing bolt (3).

3. Bolt.

VAL VE COVER REMOVED

4. Rocker arms.

6. If No. I piston is not on the compression stroke, remove the 3/8"-16 NC bolt and turn the fly­wheel 360 0 counterclockwise. Install the 3/8"-16 NC bolt as before. The No. I piston is now at top center on the compression stroke (TCI).

955L POWER TRAIN SPECIFICATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The specifications given in this book are on the basis of information available at the time it was written. The specifications torques, pressures of operation, mea­surements, adjustments and other items can change at any time. These changes can effect the service given to the product. Get the complete and most current infor­mation before you start any job. Caterpillar Dealers have the most current information which is available. For a list of the most current modules and form numbers lvailable for each Service Manual, see the SERVICE MANUAL CONTENTS MICROFICHE REG1l39F.

When the words "use again" are in the description, he specification gi ven can be used to determine if a part

can be used again. If the part is equal to or within the specification gi ven, use the part again.

When the word "permissible" is in the description, the specification given is the' 'maximum or minimum" tolerance permitted before adjustment, repair and/or new parts are needed.

A comparison can be made between the measure­ments of a worn part, and the specifications of a new part to find the amount of wear. A part that is worn can be safe to use if an estimate of the remainder of its service life is good. If a short service life is expected, replace the part.
