And what a pile of crap they are too, nearly sent a mate of mine broke.
Piston rings in upside down from the factory, required engine rebuild.

Cat had to disconnect and by pass some electronic thingo so it would get better than 1.6kpl on B double work.

Cat shot themselves in the foot with that motor, almost as bad as the half assed 3406c back in the early 90's,
