The PAI C15101-010HP is a high-performance in-frame engine rebuild kit designed specifically for Caterpillar C15 diesel engines. Manufactured by PAI Industries, this kit is engineered to enhance engine durability and efficiency, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications requiring superior performance.
This comprehensive overhaul kit includes:
- 6 High-Performance Cylinder Kits: Each kit comprises pistons, liners, rings, retainers, and seals. The high-performance pistons feature a ceramic thermal barrier coating, promoting more effective and even fuel combustion while maintaining higher nominal temperatures. This coating insulates the piston, reducing oil temperature by preventing excessive heat absorption.
- Upper Gasket Kit: Contains gaskets for the cylinder head, valve cover, and other upper engine components, ensuring a proper seal and preventing leaks.
- Connecting Rod Bearings: Precision bearings designed to withstand high loads and provide smooth rotation of the connecting rods.
- Main Bearing Set: Includes bearings made from F780 material, offering 15 times higher load capacity, longer life, and improved fatigue resistance compared to standard bearings.
- Thrust Washers: Essential for maintaining proper alignment and preventing axial movement of the crankshaft.
- Oil Pan Gasket: Ensures a secure seal between the oil pan and engine block, preventing oil leaks.
- Exhaust Manifold Assembly Gasket: Seals the connection between the exhaust manifold and cylinder head, preventing exhaust leaks.
- Thermostat Kit: Regulates engine coolant temperature for optimal performance.
