    I am getting a inframe on a cat c 15 2001 Kw serial 6nz35729 732,065 miles. Is there a aftermarket injector option available? The head is cracked in 4 places, so I need a new head too? I want to fix my baby up nicely while I have the chance.

    They all (C15, C16) crack between the inlet valves, its very common, if the cracks aren't too bad you can re run the head with no problems, I have seen it done many times.
    Heat does make the problem worse and happen faster, I have seen cracks wide enough to put a pen tip in.
    Have also seen cracks between the valves on 5 out of 6 cylinders in a engine that was being disassembled for other reasons. It had no faults that would indicate the head might be cracked.

    Not to disagree, but are you sure about those numbers? From what I have seen there is usually a 10-15% difference in the flywheel rating and # the wheel numbers. Sometimes the difference is even bigger depending on the type of tranny, rear end gears, oil in the boxes, and even type of tire.
