my first 3406E Infame Help?

Either have all the holes cut or if you don't, make sure they check liner height on all of them to make sure the one they cut is the same as all the rest. If not you will be tearing it down in a month if its off.

 

This is exactly what I did. They came out and checked liner height and counter bores. There are a couple of specialty tools you will need. A liner puller is a must, along with a very large torque wrench. As far as the warranty, the kit I bought actually had a better warranty than the CAT parts. I did put a remanned CAT head on it.

 

The aftermarket kit had a better parts warranty than the CAT kit? Where did you get this kit from? Cat has engine rebuild kits available that you can purchase with your choice of 2,3,or 4 year warranty UNLIMLITED MILEAGE. CAT standard warranty of course is 1 year. But purchase a CAT Gold or Platinum rebuild kit and you have your choice of filling out an OPT warranty form and pick your desired coverage.

 

Take your vasoline with you when you go to Hunters. I've been hearing some bad things about them over in Butler lately.

But if they told you they have to pull the motor just to change a seal, they're idiots or I'm missing something..... Last I checked the only time you'd have to pull the motor is to pull the crank?

 

most normal ppl pull the trans out for a main seal leak

 

No, the Mahle/Clevite kit has a 2 year warranty. I know a mechanic that builds tractor pull trucks and this is the kit he recommended. I have been really happy with it.
