INDIVIDUAL COMPONENT OPTIONS

 

Caterpillar has many individual components for on-highway truck engines. These include air compressors, bearings, cylinder heads, cylinder packs and pieces, electronic control modules (ECMs), filters, fluids, gaskets, seals, o-rings, injectors, oil coolers, oil pumps, sensors and harnesses, turbochargers and water pumps. While cylinder packs and pieces are not applicable for medium-duty engines, you can choose HEUI pumps, pistons and connecting rods.

 

CAT REPAIR KITS

 

Got a minor repair job on your heavy-duty Cat on-highway truck engine? Cat repair kits can help save you valuable time. They contain the parts you need for minor repairs. The following repair kits are available: exhaust manifold, injector cup, exhaust bellows, spacer plate and shim, camshaft and rocker arms, head gasket sets and other gasket sets. For medium-duty engines, the HEUI fuel system kit provides excellent mid-life performance improvement.

 

CAT PRECIOUS METALS OVERHAUL KITS

 

Tackle even bigger repair jobs with Cat precious metals overhaul kits. There are four kits to choose from — bronze, silver, gold and platinum — for different levels of engine rebuilds. A single part number makes ordering easier and gets you the components required for a rebuild that meets Caterpillar's recommended engine overhaul practices.

  1. Bronze kits are an economical repair option for engine leaks. This kit includes all new components so there is no core charge.

  2. Silver kits are designed for an economical in-frame overhaul. Like the bronze, this kit contains all new components so there is no core charge.

  3. Gold kits are a great option for mid-range rebuilds.

  4. Platinum precious metals kits are for comprehensive engine rebuilds that can help improve performance and fuel economy.

For medium-duty engines, the Titanium kit is designed for a complete out-of-frame overhaul. Pre-installed components mean quicker turnaround for this repair.

 

CAT REMAN SHORT AND LONG BLOCKS

 

Caterpillar has assembled solutions for even bigger engine repair jobs. If you're coming up on your second, third or even fourth engine overhaul, you'll likely require more than a rebuild kit.

Cat Reman short and long blocks are truck engine repair options available for both heavy-duty and medium-duty engines. They come assembled with the parts you need for a quick, quality repair — which can add up to savings in downtime, labor and and overhaul costs.

For heavy-duty Cat on-highway truck engines, there's another fully assembled repair option to consider: Cat Reman long blocks with new content. They contain 100% new cylinder blocks, crankshafts and cylinder heads to help restart the lifecycle of your engine and make future overhauls possible.
