Engine Repair Options

The scope of repair options available from your Caterpillar dealer includes:

NEW - Cat and MaK engine parts are designed and manufactured to perform as a system, and be rebuilt for a second life, with processes that are continually improved to ensure state-of-the-art quality. Cat and MaK parts are built to exact tolerances and undergo rigid testing to ensure reliable performance, long life, and lower owning and operating costs.

REMANUFACTURED PARTS for Cat and MaK engines – provide same-as-new performance and reliability at fraction-of-new cost, with the same warranty as new parts. The results are maximum engine productivity and lower life cycle cost. Remanufacturing also is environmentally friendly, as it limits waste to an absolute minimum.

EXCHANGE – Caterpillar dealers offer a number of Cat parts that meet Caterpillar Reusability Guidelines. Rebuilt by the dealer, these exchange parts eliminate the need to wait for repair of the respective part or replacement with a new component, thereby lowering engine owning and operating costs.

STANDARD OVERHAUL – Caterpillar dealers offer comprehensive overhauls for MaK and Cat engines. The dealer will offer the most cost effective solution using genuine new or remanufactured parts. Overhauls can also include available engine updates.

ENGINE UPGRADES – Cat dealers offer specific engine solutions for upgrading Cat engines to match tighter requirements or legislations, i.e. SOLAS or emission regulations. These solutions allow customers to continue to run their engines or to run them more efficiently or with lower emission levels, contributing to the protection of the environment.

CATERPILLAR CERTIFIED ENGINE REBUILD is a program where Cat 3500 or 3600 engines can be rebuilt for a second life – at a fraction of the cost of an engine replacement, protecting the customer’s investment. Rebuild specifications meet all Caterpillar standards, providing the quality customers expect. Trained dealer and Caterpillar service professionals perform these rebuilds at the local Cat dealership, using only Cat parts. The latest required updates and optional performance enhancement upgrades could result in improved fuel consumption, reduced emissions, matching SOLAS requirements and reduced owning and operating costs.
