    Nope. Just a different file and turbo. Supposed to be in the 700-750 range. Sure flattened the hills

    First I am not a Cat guy. But my opinion of building a engine of non stock hp would be. If the block has a million miles and you plan for another million. I would pull it and have top and bottom leveled. Squaring the block back up. They all are twisted at a million. Check and possible line bore crank. Putting block back to better than new with a "Seasoned Block". It will be better than new.

    robert calixtro is just uneducated and full of himself... he sells jereh cylinder heads that anyone in the country sells. atl diesel, bolland machine etc etc... i get the same part in any place and pay less than he asks.i was looking for a head for my detroit when i contacted him.he doesnt know how to talk to a costumer, hes a clown, hes disgusting and his mental age is about 13....I, personally, wouldn't buy a jereh head anymore, but if i did, i would buy cheaper and from someone that is not a 13 yr old clown.

    I'd guess I have 200-250,000 miles. But they are hard miles, constant stop and go pull heavy and hard. I don't go easy on my equipment. So far so good.

    thanks for the input! how about blow by, oil consumption? im thinking of either rebuild using the 1 piece kit for 3406e or replacing the crank for a accert one ,rods and the low compression c15 kit from ipd to get something bigger...

    Maybe just a touch more of both that I would like but nothing concerning what so ever.
