Customers can choose from four engine rebuild options that are backed with Cat warranties, no matter who does the work.
According to Dennis Vosberg, general manager for customer support: “Previously, technicians or parts personnel would have to list and order each individual part for rebuild. Now, everything is in an easy-to-order, cost-effective kit that can get operators back to work fast.”
Rebuild kits can be bought over-the-counter or at any authorised Cat dealer location.
Four levels of kits, Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum, include all critical parts necessary for the repair.
Bronze has the basic building block for all higher-level kits and includes required gaskets and seals to reassemble the engine and Silver builds on the Bronze kit with the addition of six pistons, liners, wrist pins, rings and retainers.
Gold includes the Bronze kit and the added value of six Cat Reman cylinder pack assemblies, while Platinum features the components from the Gold kit plus Cat Reman complete cylinder head, six Reman fuel injectors, Reman water pump and Reman oil pump.
Precious Metals Engine Rebuild kits are available for specific Cat 621G, 623G, 627F, 627G scrapers; 735, 740 trucks; 824G wheel dozer; 826G compactor; 980G, 980F wheel loaders; D8N, D8R track type tractors with 3406, 3406C and 3406E engines.
Additional kit offerings for other Cat machines are under development.
