Burned Exhaust Valves, Low Power & Hard Starting On
Cummins NH & NT Engines With Jacobs Brake 25B & 30
Cummins Engine Co. reported that if the following complaints are experienced in the NH and NT engines equipped with Jacobs brakes, the slave piston clearance should be checked:
A. Exhaust valve burning
B. Low engine power when at operating temperature
C. Engine hard to start or will not start at operating temperature
A standard slave piston adjustment of .018 +/- .001 has been established. The .018 clearance setting is a cold setting which results in zero slave piston to crosshead clearance when the engine is at operating temperature.
Should the slave piston clearance setting be less than .018, the following conditions outlined in A, B or C above may result as well as affect breaking power.
If the slave piston clearance is greater than .018 +/- .001, the following problems may occur:
1. Engine injector train component problems
2. Injector carboning
3. Bent injector push rods
4. Worn injector adjusting screws
5. Decreased camshaft life
6. Cam follower and follower shaft failure
7. Delay in breaking action
If the above problems are experienced and the engine is equipped with a Jacobs brake, the slave piston clearance should be checked with the latest Cummins specifications.
