Subject:

FM-Alco 251 Engine, Wrist Pin Assembly, Catalog No.: 2420021-2 On November 11, 1998, Coltec Industries, Fairbanks Engine Division (FMED), became aware of a potential safety hazard associated with the wrist pin assemblies for FM-Alco 251 engines. The wrist pin assembly consists ofa wrist pin and a sleeve fitted in the bore of the wrist pin and held in place by rolling each end which causes a tight friction fit The sleeves of the subject wrist pin assemblies were supplied with an incorrect material, which is not suitable for rolling - expansion. Therefore, the friction fit between the pin and the sleeve may not be sufficient. which could cause the sleeve to become lose and possibly contact the liner. A drawing of the wrist pin assembly is attached.

Corrective actions have been taken to prevent recurrence, which include no longer using the supplier of the defective wrist pins, and retraining the Receipt Inspectors and the Quality Assurance Supetvisor to perform proper inspections and reviews of certifications.

The only affected utility is Consumers Power- Palisades, which received a total of 36 wrist pin assemblies between 1995 and 1996. It should be noted that no failures have occurred to date and the problems with the wrist pin assemblies occurred in commercial applications after many thousands of hours of cyclic operation. FM-Alco 25 l engines in nuclear applications are not typically subjected to this type of operation. However, it is reco~ended that the subject wrist pins be replaced with pin assemblies made with the correct sleeve material. * .
