Qty per Valve1
Aftermarket valve mechanism spring (valve spring) 5I-7740A — a direct replacement for the Caterpillar 5I-7740 spring. It fits the Caterpillar 3066 / S6K / C6.4 diesel engine family (also 3064 / C4.2), commonly used on CAT 311 / 311B / 311C / 312B / 320 / 320B / 320C / 320D excavators. The valve spring holds the valve against its seat and returns it after the rocker opens it. When a spring weakens, breaks or loses free length, the valve does not close fully — typical signs are a misfire, loss of compression, a rattling valve train and, in severe cases, a dropped valve. Springs are normally renewed as a set during a cylinder-head overhaul. Coil (compression) spring, hardened valve spring wire. Confirm the removed spring number and the engine reference before ordering; tell us the engine and we confirm the quantity (usually one spring per valve).

Key Features

  • Direct replacement for CAT 5I-7740
  • Hardened valve-spring wire, correct free length
  • Fits Caterpillar 3066 / S6K / C6.4 (3064 / C4.2) engines

Common Fault Symptoms

Incomplete valve closing, low compression / hard starting, a misfire on one cylinder, valve-train rattle; a broken or short spring can drop a valve.

Installation Tips

  1. 1. Check the springs for free length, square-ness and cracks; renew any that are weak or broken.
  2. 2. Renew the valve stem seals and check the guides at the same time.
  3. 3. Compress the spring with a proper valve-spring compressor; fit the retainer and collets.
  4. 4. Confirm the collets seat fully and re-set valve clearance to specification.
