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.
BENEFITS:
• Lower cost by reusing workable components from original engine
• Reduced downtime
• Superior quality & reliability
• Quick turnarounds for maintaining productivity
Standard 12-month Warranty
An Engine Short Cylinder Block contains the cylinder bores where fuel combustion drives piston movement and generates mechanical force. It supports the crankshaft, allowing conversion of piston motion into rotational output that powers the drivetrain. Accurate bore positioning ensures smooth piston travel and stable compression within each cylinder.
Attributes:
• Reduces internal vibration through structured component support.
• Assists in maintaining a consistent engine firing sequence.
• Facilitates proper sealing between upper and lower engine sections.
Applications:
An Engine Short Cylinder Block is positioned at the lower section of the engine assembly, housing cylinder bores and supporting crankshaft rotation to enable controlled combustion and reliable power transmission.
