007-013 in the Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, ISM, ISM
e, and QSM11 Series Engines, Bulletin 3666322.

 

Engine idle time is excessive

Low oil and coolant temperatures can be caused by long idle time (greater than 10 minutes). Shut off the engine rather than idle for long periods. If idle time is necessary, raise the idle speed. Refer to Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, Bulletin No.
3666319..

 

In-line check valve(s) is installed backward or has an incorrect part number

Check the in-line check valve(s) for the correct part number. Check the arrow on the check valve(s) for the correct orientation. Refer to the OEM service manual.

 

Fuel pump seal is leaking

Perform the fluorescent dye tracer test to confirm the fuel leak. Replace the fuel pump if necessary. Refer to Procedure

Injector high-pressure connector torque does not meet specification

Check the injector high-pressure connector torque.Refer to Procedure
006-026 in the Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, ISM, ISM
e, and QSM11 Series Engines, Bulletin 3666322.

 

Cylinder head is cracked or porous

Remove the intake and the exhaust manifolds. Check for evidence of coolant leaks. If necessary, operate the engine at low idle. Pressure-test the cylinder head. Refer to Procedure
002-004 in the Troubleshooting and Repair Manual, ISM, ISM
e, and QSM11 Series Engines, Bulletin 3666322.

 

Base engine problem
