The 3500B short block is an initial offering and if market interest and acceptance is favorable
3500B long blocks, and short/long blocks for other 3500 series engines (i.e. MUI, EUI, HD,
and gas) may be offered in the future.
Features and Benefits
Reman short blocks expand the repair options available. When used with other
remanufactured products and reusable components from the core engine, short blocks help
lower dealer repair/rebuild cost and shorten turnaround time.
The 3500B short block is a fully assembled cylinder block with sequence valves, crankshaft,
cylinder pack groups, piston jets, camshaft bearings, and lifting eyes.
The short block does not include camshaft, cam access covers, or block side covers. The
short block may contain a remanufactured cylinder block, crankshaft, connecting rods, and
pistons. The cylinder liners, piston rings, camshaft bearings, and crankshaft bearings are
100% new components. The remanufactured components are remanufactured to factory
specifications using factory precision machine tools and proven processes.
Core Acceptance
Short blocks from 3500B diesel series machine and commercial engines that were built with
101-0829 Piston ? Rod Gp. are acceptable as core. Reference SELD0026 for the latest Short
Block Core Acceptance Criteria.
