Product Overview

The VH114673200A Cylinder Liner is a precision-engineered component specifically designed for Hino J05E and J08E diesel engines used in Kobelco SK200-8, SK210LC-8, SK250-8, SK260LC-8, and SK350-8 excavators. This is an A-size (3mm oversized) liner, intended for applications where the engine block has been machined to a larger diameter to accommodate a thicker liner.

Cylinder liners are the removable sleeves pressed into the engine block that provide the wear surface for the piston rings. In heavy-duty diesel engines like the Hino J05E and J08E, wet liners are used—they contact coolant directly for superior heat dissipation. This wet liner design, typical of Kobelco engine applications, requires proper O-ring sealing to prevent coolant leakage into the crankcase.

The J05E is a 4-cylinder engine found in Kobelco’s 20-26 ton excavators, while the J08E is a 6-cylinder engine used in the larger SK350-8 (35-ton class) and other heavy equipment. Both share a common wet liner design that requires periodic replacement during major engine overhauls.

This specific part number, VH114673200A, is listed in Kobelco parts documentation as a “Cylinder Liner” with an 8mm flange height specification. The “A” designation typically indicates a specific size class, helping technicians select the correct liner for a given block bore measurement.

Key Features

• A-Size (3mm Oversized) Design: Precision-sized for engine blocks that have been machined to accommodate a thicker liner after wear or prior overhauls.

• Wet Liner Configuration: Direct coolant contact provides superior heat transfer from the cylinder bore, critical for maintaining stable operating temperatures under heavy load.

• Precision Flange Height: Features an 8mm flange height that precisely positions the liner within the cylinder block and ensures correct sealing surface protrusion above the block deck.

• Compatible With Standard Rings: Designed to work with standard piston ring sets specific to the J05E and J08E engines.

• OEM Cross Reference: Equivalent to VHS114673200 and S11467-7321 (cross-reference for J08E applications).

• Durable Material: Cast iron construction with hardness ratings typically in the 230-290 HB range, offering excellent wear resistance for long service life.

• Direct Replacement: Manufactured to meet OEM specifications for proper fitment and sealing.

J05E and J08E Cylinder Liner Specifications

Based on industry standards for Hino cylinder liners, the following specifications apply:

When to Use an Oversized (A-Size) Liner

Standard cylinder liners are installed in a new or unworn engine block. However, during a major overhaul or after an engine failure, the block bore may become:

• Out-of-round: The cylinder bore is no longer perfectly circular

• Tapered: The bore diameter varies along its length

• Scored or damaged: Grooves or damage from piston seizure or debris

When any of these conditions exist, the block is machined to a slightly larger diameter. An oversized liner (the VH114673200A) is then installed to compensate. The flange height of the liner is typically measured from the block deck; the 8mm specification ensures correct seating depth.

Signs Your Cylinder Liners Need Replacement

The cylinder liner is subject to wear over thousands of operating hours. Replace your VH114673200A liners if you observe:

1. Excessive Oil Consumption: The engine consumes more oil than normal between service intervals, indicating worn cylinder bores and piston rings.

2. Blow-by: Excessive crankcase pressure visible as smoke from the breather tube or oil filler cap.

3. Loss of Compression: Hard starting, loss of power, or poor fuel economy due to poor ring-to-liner sealing.

4. Coolant in Oil: Milky oil or coolant loss without external leaks may indicate failed liner O-rings.

5. Visible Liner Scoring: During engine disassembly, liners show vertical scratches, scuffing, or scoring.

6. Measurable Liner Wear: The cylinder bore measures out-of-round or tapered beyond service limits.

7. During Major Overhaul: When rebuilding the engine bottom end, replacing liners is standard practice for high-hour engines.

8. Previous Liner Removal: If standard liners have been removed, the block bore should be measured; oversizing may be required.

Benefits

Why choose our VH114673200A Cylinder Liner for your J05E or J08E engine rebuild?

1. Restores Cylinder Geometry: An oversized liner returns the cylinder bore to factory specifications after block machining.

2. Restores Compression: New liners provide a fresh wear surface for piston rings, restoring proper compression and engine power.

3. Eliminates Blow-by: Proper ring-to-liner sealing prevents crankcase pressurization and oil mist ingestion.

4. Reduces Oil Consumption: New liners and rings dramatically reduce oil consumption compared to worn components.

5. Essential for Rebuild: Any complete engine overhaul requires new cylinder liners for reliable long-term operation.

6. Proper O-Ring Sealing: New liner O-rings prevent coolant migration into the crankcase that causes oil contamination.

7. Restores Heat Transfer: New liners ensure proper contact with the block for efficient cylinder cooling.

8. OEM-Quality Assurance: Manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment standards for durability.

Oversized Liner Selection Guide

When rebuilding a J05E or J08E engine, proper liner sizing is critical. The VH114673200A represents one size class. Based on typical Hino practice, multiple oversize classes exist:

Note: Oversize classes may vary by manufacturer. Always measure the block bore after machining and compare to the service manual specifications. The flange height should be measured to ensure proper protrusion.

Installation Tips

• Professional Installation Required: Cylinder liner replacement requires complete engine disassembly, precision measurement tools, and specialized installation equipment. Professional installation is mandatory.

• Measure Block Bore: Before ordering liners, measure the block bores after machining to determine the required oversize class.

• Inspect Flange Recess: Clean and inspect the counterbore where the liner flange seats. Any damage here will affect liner seating and head gasket sealing.

• Use New O-Rings: Always install new O-rings on each liner. Lubricate them with clean engine oil or coolant during assembly.

• Lubricate Liner Surfaces: Apply clean engine oil to the liner outer surface before pressing into the block.

• Check Flange Protrusion: After installation, measure how much the liner flange extends above the block deck. This dimension (typically 0.15-0.20mm for similar wet liners) is critical for head gasket sealing.

• Hone After Installation: After all liners are installed, perform a final plateau honing to achieve the correct surface finish for ring seating.

• Pressure Test: Consider pressure testing the cooling system after assembly to verify O-ring seals.
