Another platinum caterpillar overhaul wrapped up this week for a local customer. Had the most wore out cylinder liners I've seen and broken compression rings on 5 out of 6 pistons. Also had a damaged camshaft lobe for the #1 injector.

Customer complaint of excessive oil consumption in this Caterpillar C-15. Customer decided to go ahead with platinum overhaul. After cylinder head, piston, and liner removal, found 5 out of 6 liners were mirror polished. Compression rings broken on most cylinders and counterbore damaged on multiple cylinders. Will get counterbore cut and shimmed along with platinum overhaul.

This job was brought in as a coolant consumption issue. After teardown found cylinder head grooved from combustion and block cracked between #1 and #2 cylinders. Customer decided to go with a used engine. Replaced engine with a supplied used engine. Customer has been back running with no issues since repair.
