September 2008NEW PRODUCT AND UPDATES FOR REMAN 3500 ENGINE PRODUCT Note: Please Ensure That This Information Is Shared With Your Dealer Service Department Management. AnnouncementThe Caterpillar Remanufacturing Division is pleased to announce several new products to support 3500 series engines. The following releases provide Cat dealers with a lower cost, reliable repair option to use when rebuilding 3500 engines. Reman 3500 UTN Bare Blocks for 3500B Engines Caterpillar Remanufactured Products is releasing Upgrade-to-New Bare Blocks for 3508, 3512, and 3516 engines. This option allows a customer to purchase the same blocks that have been available as a new part number under a Reman part number and receive a core credit for a lower overall cost. To realize the savings, the customer will have to return the core to recover their core deposit. Reman Block (UTN) part numbers are listed below. The purpose of this program is to enable Caterpillar to recover as many engine block cores as possible. The UTN program is therefore an incentive for customers to return cores to Caterpillar.
Using state-of-the-art salvage capabilities, many of these cores can be remanufactured and used in Reman product. The core criteria for the Reman UTN bare blocks will allow the majority of blocks, even damaged blocks, to be returned as acceptable core allowing customers to take advantage of the Reman UTN price. Refer to SELD0304 for core acceptance criteria for 3500 Bare Blocks.Stainless Steel Water Ferrule Inserts (large, small) Released as Serviced Part A typical repair process employed during an engine block rebuild is to insert stainless steel plugs where pitting has occurred in the water ferrule area. Stainless steel inserts used by Cat Reman to salvage 3500 engine blocks are now being released as a serviced part number. The inserts have the water ferrule passage pre-drilled. Reman is releasing these pre-drilled inserts to enable dealers to standardize their salvage processes and to decrease the time required for this salvage procedure. The water ferrule insert salvage procedure is documented in SEBF8263.
Cat Reman installs these stainless steel inserts as standard practice on all salvaged 3500 engine block water ferrules. New engine blocks which are sometimes used in Reman products will not have these inserts. Inserts will be sold in packages of 50.3500 HD Cylinder Head Changes To improve the reliability and durability of the 3500 engines, Caterpillar and Cat Reman have released different cylinder head part numbers for use on 3500 HD engines. These new releases incorporate new springs and rotocoils shown to provide longer life.
Other changes effecting 3500 cylinder heads include:
? Reman UTN now 100% new parts - Historically Reman UTN heads have only guaranteed that the cylinder head casting itself was new. This provided the customer an opportunity to probably get two lives out of the head by milling it down at the first rebuild. Now the UTN heads include all new parts but can still be purchased at a discount to new when the customer has a useable core to
