REQUIRED For Replacement labeled Engines, Long Blocks, and short blocks sold within the U.S. and U.S. Territories the engine core (i.e. old engine) that is removed MUST be returned to your selling Caterpillar dealer, so that they can return to Caterpillar  OR  destroy, as required by law. Proof of return or destruction will then be provided to the EPA and or California ARB if required. See PELJ1301 for additional details.

The 6 Cylinder Engine Block operates on the principle of internal combustion, where fuel and air are mixed and ignited within the cylinders to generate power. The six cylinders work in a synchronized manner to produce continuous rotational motion, which is transmitted to the equipment via the crankshaft. The robust and powerful design enables the engine block to withstand loads and provide reliable performance in challenging environments, ensuring optimal functionality for equipment.

Attributes:
• Reduce engine vibrations for smoother operation.
• Built to withstand engine stresses.
• Designed to efficiently dissipate heat to prevent engine overheating.
• Withstand internal pressures and forces.

Applications:
The 6 Cylinder Engine Block is located within the engine compartment, serving as the core structure to house cylinders, pistons, and other main components, facilitating power generation and mechanical operation.
