Engine Overhaul Kits for
3306 MACHINE ENGINES
With the overwhelming acceptance of the previously announced Precious Metals Kits for the on-highway truck program, Caterpillar is pleased to expand the overhaul kit offerings to support 3306 machine engines. The improved kits provide all of the parts necessary to do an engine overhaul based on the customer or dealer needs. Time spent researching and ordering individual parts can be eliminated with prepackaged groups that can be stocked to meet immediate customer needs.
All kit consist information and model effectiveness can be viewed in SISWEB (See “Where to Identify Available Kits” below). The following charts and tables are also available in this IRM as a reference, but refer to SISWEB for up-to-date consist and model effectivity:
Appendix A: Kit Coverage Chart
Appendix B: Related Parts Order Matrix
Appendix C: Kit Consist Information
There are 4 levels of kits: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum.
Bronze Level – The basic building block for all four levels, the Bronze Precious Metals Level includes all the parts necessary for a low-cost repair, and additional value-added components like rod bearings. It also includes components you might not think about replacing – such as fasteners, studs, bearings and thermostat – that could lead to costly failures and unplanned downtime if not replaced, and the required gaskets and seals to reassemble the engine (out-of-frame rebuild kit).
Silver Level – Building from the Bronze Level, a cost-effective option for a basic rebuild, the Silver Level includes: new pistons, liners, wrist pins, rings, retainers and a rod-less, unassembled cylinder pack.
Gold Level – Building on the Bronze Level, a basic engine rebuild that gets you back to work quickly and affordably. The Gold Level includes: CatÒ Reman Cylinder Liner pack assemblies – pre-assembled with rods, pistons, rings and liners – saving four to six hours labor compared to Silver Level.
Platinum Level – The Platinum Level is the most complete option; designed to maximize the built-in second and third life of your engine.
Appendix A includes a table showing the effectivity of the kits to engine arrangements. If your engine arrangement is not in the list of verified arrangements, one of the rebuild kits still could apply but will require you to validate the kit consist for your specific engine arrangement parts requirements. If assistance is needed to verify if a specific kit will work, you can contact the following call center:
