*HQHUDO In recent years there have been a few cases where the cylinder head screws
have broken during operation. The result is blown-out cylinder head gasket,
combustion gases entering cooling spaces and the engine shut-down due to
high temperature in the HT-cooling water circuit. Normally, only renewing of
gasket and screws is required. 6HHSDJHIRULQVWUXFWLRQVRQZKHQDQGKRZ

The major reasons for broken screws are:
• Corrosion of bottom part of screw (below O-ring 100095).
The main reason for corroded screws is that the O-ring has deteriorated
due to age and does not seal properly. Thus, water (e.g. while washing)
will enter the compartment between screw and engine block and cause
corrosion.
• Too high opening or loosening pressure used on hydraulic tool.
Excess hydraulic tool pressure will not cause the screw to break
immediately, but it will cause an initial crack, especially in a screw that is
weakened by corrosion.

,QVWUXFWLRQV Wärtsilä NSD recommends the following actions:
• Change the cylinder head screw whenever it has been over-tightened
(whenever max. tightening or loosening pressure has been exceeded).
Refer to the enclosure.
• Change the O-ring (100095) at every piston overhaul.
If corrosion damages occur, the following should be done:
• Corrosion pits with a depth of less than 0.1 mm: Grind/polish away the pits
with a small hand grinder.
• Corrosion pits with a depth of more than 0.1 mm: Change the screw.
127( Corrosion depth in threads can be hard to determine, thus it is recommended
to change the screw, whenever in doubt.

1. Put lubricating oil on the threads of the screw.
2. Mount the screw and tighten to specified torque.
3. Fill the compartment between screw and engine block with lubricating oil.
4. Mount the O-ring.

Tightening Torques and Use of Hydraulic Tools 32-9701/III
The stud bolts are tightened to the casting at the following torques:
Screw dimension Tightening torque (Nm)
M56 Cylinder Head 400±20
M56 Main Bearing 300±10
M45 Connecting Rod 200±10
M42 and M48x3 200±10
Exception! Screws acc. to pos. 4 and 7.
Pos. 4 see chapter 10, section 10.2.3.
Caution! The screws will be overloaded if the maximum hydraulic pressure
is exceeded.
It is recommended to change the screws if maximum hydraulic
pressure is exceeded for some reason.
If it is impossible to turn the nuts, when the maximum hydraulic
pressure is reached: check for corrosion in threads; check tool condition
and manometer error.
07.3.2 Filling, venting and control of the high pressure
hydraulic tool set
The hydraulic tool set consists of a high pressure hand pump with an
integrated oil container, hoses fitted with quick-couplings and non-re-
turn valves, cylinders and a pressure gauge mounted on the hand pump
but not connected to the pressure side of the pump.
The components are coupled in series with the pressure gauge being
the last component thus securing that every cylinder is fed with the
correct pressure.
The non-return valves in the hoses are integrated with the quick-cou-
plings and are opened by the pins located in the centre of the male and
female parts. If these pins get worn the coupling must be replaced
because of the risk of blocking.
• In the high pressure hydraulic tool set it is recommended to use
a special hydraulic oil or in any case an oil with a viscosity of about
2°E at 20°C.
• During the filling of the container of the high pressure pump it is
recommendable to couple the set according to scheme B, Fig 07-13.
Before filling, open the release valve (2) and empty the cylinders
(4) by pressing the piston and cylinder together. After that, the
container can be filled through the filling plug (1).
• After filling, vent the system by pressing in, with a finger, the
centre pin of the female part of the last quick-coupling, the
coupling being disconnected from the pressure gauge. Keep on
pumping until airfree oil emerges from the coupling.
