6nz out of frame

I can get you a VibraTech Damper for a CAT engine for $500 plus shipping costs. These are of a better quality than a CAT damper and cost less

I'll send you a PM

 

I have rebuild a lot of Cats and was never afraid of .007 protrusion, I would never out frame an engine unless it had holes in it, I have never seen a deck that could not be cut to get the right protrusion.
Getting a block decked is something that has to be done by someone who knows what he is doing and has the tools to measure it properly. Many blocks have less than .010 to play with.
Just a thought!

 

Just a thought but you seem to like to slam Cats as being unreliable and, as a mechanic, they keep you busy. Maybe this "I have rebuild a lot of Cats and was never afraid of .007 protrusion" is why!.

 

As long as the .007 liners are at #5 & 6, and the rest are at .005 and .006. From experience it would live a long life, and not fail from that problem.
Best engine made was the early N14 460 HP after the injectors were repaired and the 430 HP S60, 12.7 liter.
Both of those engines will live a long productive life, and make you money.
A 3406 will make me money!
