March 2001 CHANGE OF REMAN CORE ACCEPTANCE FOR SHORT & LONG BLOCKSAnnouncement
Caterpillar Remanufactured Products is announcing a change to core acceptance guidelines. Effective March 1, 2001, Reman will accept short and long blocks with minor disassembly but the dealer will be assessed an add charge.Current criteria for acceptance of short and long block cores require that they are fully assembled and complete without exception (reference SELD0026 and SELD0029). Disassembled cores are rejected with no core refund. However, occasionally a block core is returned with a connecting rod or main (crankshaft) bearing cap removed, a condition that may not necessitate rejection of the core if all parts are accounted for and there is no handling damage. Reman will now accept cores in this condition to avoid unnecessary rejections back to the dealer.The following changes will be implemented to the core return process:1) For each connecting rod that is disassembled, an add charge will be applied equal to the replacement value of an equivalent new con rod assembly for that engine model (year 2001 pricing):
Block Model Add Charge Part Number Add Charge Amount

3126 2W9128 $140.65
3204 7E4728 $148.34
3208 7E4728 $148.34

C-12 113-9016 $301.27
3304 8N1721 $228.06
3306 8N1721 $228.06
3406 9Y6054 $337.93
3408 160-8178 $312.40
3412 160-8178 $312.40 2) For each main (crankshaft) bearing cap that is disassembled and returned as a loose part with the block core, an add charge will be applied based on engine size (medium or heavy-duty).
Block Model Add Charge Part Number Add Charge Amount
3116 10R-0047 $200.00
3126 10R-0047 $200.00
3204 10R-0047 $200.00
3208 10R-0047 $200.00
C-10 10R-0048 $350.00
C-12 10R-0048 $350.00
3304 10R-0048 $350.00
3306 10R-0048 $350.00
3406 10R-0048 $350.00
3408 10R-0048 $350.00
3412 10R-0048 $350.00 3) For each main (crankshaft) bearing cap that is disassembled and not returned with the block core, or for any additional disassembly beyond bearing caps, the block will be rejected with no core refund.
Add charges are intended to be used on an exception basis only. Fully assembled cores continue to be the standard of acceptability. Other core return criteria for these products remain unchanged.
