DESCRIPTION
Certain N13B engines ranging with engine serial numbers 4400000 4401769, can experience higher than normal oil consumption due to
carbon packing and build-up within the top ring lands of the piston. An updated cylinder kit is now available to address this condition. The
updated liner incorporates a removable anti-polish ring (APR) at the top of the liner. The purpose of the anti-polish ring is to scrap carbon from
the top ring lands keeping the secondary and compression rings from sticking and free during engine operation.
Check warranty repair history prior to performing this procedure within the Service Portal. If the engine has been upgraded with APR
cylinder kits and is experiencing oil consumption, do not proceed with this article contact Tech Services.
APR liners cannot be mismatched with standard liners. If for any reason an APR
liner needs to be installed within an engine with standard liners, all 6 liners will need to be
updated to APR liners.

DIAGNOSTIC STEP(s)
Follow: 2015 N13 Engine Diagnostic Manual for oil consumption diagnostics.
REPAIR STEP(s)
Follow: 2015 N13 Engine Service Manual for base engine repairs.
13L connecting rod bolt torque is CRITICAL. Apply a light amount of clean 30W engine oil to the underside
of the new rod bolt head and threads. Follow the torquing procedure EXACTLY as written in the latest
Service Manual using a calibrated torque wrench.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING SERVICE INFORMATION
The 2513433C91 rod bearing set contains a stronger polymer coated upper bearing which is darker in color. This bearing replaces the former
3004714C91 and has been in service since 2015. The coating was added due to increased cylinder pressures found in the 2015 N13. There
are no dimensional changes in the bearing, and it is backward compatible to all MaxxForce and N13 engines.

CONNECTING ROD TORQUE PROCEDURE BEST PRACTICES
IK1201391 2013-2015 N13 Required Torque Wrench to Complete Connecting Rod Bolt Torque Procedure
• Always use new rod bolts
• Apply a LIGHT coating of engine oil to the threads and underside of the bolt head prior to installation. Do not dip the bolt in oil.
• Never set the rod or rod cap on the fractured mating faces.
• Clean the fracture faces, rod bearing saddles, bolt threads, and crank journal with cleaner such as Brake Clean, then blow dry with filtered air.
• NEVER use a rag or towel to wipe the fractured rod mating faces.
• Use clean engine oil or Lubriplate #105 to lubricate the new bearings.
• Follow IK1201391, torque bolts BY HAND in all three steps exactly as published in the Service Manual and IK article. Do not short cut by
using unapproved methods.
• Do not use extensions on the torque wrench.
• It is critical to torque bolts on each cap evenly to the initial 22 ft.-lbs. before advancing to the next value. This will properly seat the cap to the
rod. Do not fully torque one side then the other.
• Check the Service Manual regularly for procedural changes.
• Do not rotate crankshaft until connecting rod bolts are fully torqued as this may cause bearing to rotate in place.
• Lubricate the oil pick up tube and O-ring prior to assembly.
• Ensure the oil pick up tube is fully seated in the engine block
. If not, aeration and oil pressure loss can occur causing severe damage to the
engine.
