242-0172 Air Cleaner Assembly — Cat 3024C 216B

This is a complete Air Cleaner Assembly, responsible for filtering incoming air to the engine to prevent abrasive particles from causing internal wear. It ensures that only clean air enters the combustion chambers, vital for engine performance and longevity. A clogged or damaged air cleaner assembly will typically result in a noticeable loss of engine power, increased fuel consumption, or black smoke from the exhaust.

Installation & Application Notes

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.

Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.

Failure Symptoms

A clogged air filter element within the assembly will first cause a reduction in engine power and potentially increased fuel consumption. If the restriction becomes severe, the engine may run rough or produce black exhaust smoke. Continued operation with a severely restricted air supply can lead to internal engine damage.

Installation Tip

Ensure the sealing surfaces on the engine intake manifold and the air cleaner housing are clean and free of debris before mounting. Do not overtighten the mounting clamps, as this can crack the housing.

Service Note

Always replace the air filter element when servicing or replacing the air cleaner assembly.
