I need a hand from a good cat guy. Need some pretty quick info on a build I'm looking at.

I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that.... ?
This is my Job and not my passion, so I guess it's OK.
What do you need, sir?

Last week was a busy week.
The white engine was against our recommendations. It is NOT in the PB. Just a different repair.
Someone mentioned liner projection on a 6NZ earlier. CAT is tossing warranties if the blocks aren't cut after a certain date. We HAVE to cut everything now. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not good at it (over thinking is a problem) but I haven't shut a gasket yet, that I'm aware of, but have had one back in for HG failure.
We are also mandating head bolts on every engine now, across the board, as a dealer policy, not CAT.
Had a B model in with a broken crank last week, 1 year after it dropped valves in a reman head/overhaul. We are starting to see a rise in broken cranks. I'm not sure about cranks VS new bearing installs to know if there is a correlation, but I bet there is.

Unless something changed, they killed the part number for the thin one (0.334"?) about 18 months ago, about the time the "cut every block" came down.Whats cat say if you use a thinner spacer plate? From what i see in the truck world, its a 50/50 shot on cat standin by their warranty

I didn't buy it. Just running it for a little bit.

I didn't see a name on the door so I figured you pulled the trigger on a truck.
