Scheduling an In-Frame Overhaul

Table 1 lists the approximate number of service hours before an in-frame overhaul for different G3600 Engine applications. Table 1 Estimated Service Hours Before An In-Frame Overhaul Fuel Wellhead gas or natural gas Natural gas Bio-gas Compression Ratio 9.2:1 10.5:1 9.2:1 Service Hours 50000 45000 to 48000 27000 to 33000

Scheduling an in-frame overhaul normally depends on the following three conditions: An increase of oil consumption An increase of crankcase blowby A decrease and a variation of cylinder compression Each individual condition may not indicate a need for an overhaul. However, evaluating the three conditions together is the most accurate method of determining when an overhaul is necessary. The engine may not require an overhaul if the engine is operating within acceptable limits for oil consumption, crankcase blowby, and cylinder compression.
