I have access to Monotherms but....

[Burn Down]

I don't think they will fit :rofl:

Cat 3516 long stroke Hd Rod and piston assembly. With a R&R rod & stock rod for comparison.

Monotherm & a stock cut and coated LB7 Piston.

Anywho I thought it was cool looking at the size difference...

 

[emiller3]

Just a touch too big:spit:

 

[Harbin_22]

Get one of them custom billet blocks and make it work

 

[blk smoke lb7]

bore it out and make it fit:rofl:

 

[hondarider552]

Lol I have the same 3516 rod and piston in my garage thought I was the only one few cracked pistons from a 3406 too
Have a c175 20 cylinder getting ready for dyno testing next week at work.

 

[hondarider552]

Cant exactly take a 3516 crank home either, colorado isnt big enough for 1200 lbs!

I have to give this one back Fuggers think there is a core charge or something I'll have to figure a way out to steal one... I mean borrow one with no intention of returning it.

Maybe you can borrow the counterweights instead of the whole crank

Ya, maybe Greg Houge will loan me one of those new billet pro mod d-max blocks:thumb:

 

[hondarider552]

I have pics of one somewhere that removed themselves in truck... It wasn't pretty.

793d

 

[Burn Down]

Correct me if i am wrong but that looks like a short stroke non-HD piston. What kind of machine did that come out of? 793 maybe

[Burn Down]

Must be the picture then, looked like the old short stroke pistons, but if it came out of a 793D then its gotta be the HD setup. I just finished in-framing the front engine on a 797 today actually

Maybe you confused the stock d-max piston as the cat piston... It happens

I had to tear a 3516 down from a failed crankshaft, turns out it had the wrong TC adapter and f'd the thrust bearing, broke the crank in half after #6 rod journal, had to cut the end off of a rod cap to get the crank out because it wouldnt spin over. had 3 bent rods that looked like tacos

 

[fun w son]

get a bigger hammer!!

 

[hondarider552]

Very much so.

Brain, we have a few pieces of cat equipment at work. We have a 385 excavator with a long boom and clam bucket. We also have two 980h front end loaders. What motors are in these?

Thanks! I will say these things take a beating and receive no maintenance what so ever, but they keep on ticking.

Lol you know what they say about things that go tick tick.... They are pretty tough but everything has its limits.
