Just use Volvo block and never have problems again, Cats are just crap.
In the pictures C18 after one season. Not a single pull without some kind of mechanical failure, head gaskets mostly, finally block gave up. Now they forget Cat, next season propably Fiat V8. |
You contradicted yourself in one single post, long rods aren't needed then you post a picture of an engine with one of the crappiest rod to stroke ratios available, maybe only rivaled by the ISX which also slings rods.
The longer rod with the shorter stroke of the C15 acert works, otherwise you would see electronic engines splitting in the same spot, but they wont because they dont have the cam bore to be a weakness.
