602-8958: Short Cylinder Block Arrangement

REQUIRED For Replacement labeled Engines, Long Blocks, and short blocks sold within the U.S. and U.S. Territories the engine core (i.e. old engine) that is removed MUST be returned to your selling Caterpillar dealer, so that they can return to Caterpillar  OR  destroy, as required by law. Proof of return or destruction will then be provided to the EPA and or California ARB if required. See PELJ1301 for additional details.

The Short Cylinder Block Arrangement refers to an engine design where the cylinders are arranged in a compact and close configuration. It allows for a more compact and space-saving engine design, making it suitable for a limited engine bay space. The shorter block design often leads to a lighter overall engine weight, which contributes to improved performance and can allow for more efficient cooling of the cylinders, as they are located in closer proximity to each other.

Attributes:
• Suitable for engines with fewer cylinders.
• Allows for efficient cooling of closely arranged cylinders.
• Compact design for space-efficient engine layout.

Applications:
The Short Cylinder Block Arrangement is utilized in engines with a limited number of cylinders where space constraints dictate a more compact and efficient layout. This arrangement allows for an optimized use of available space without compromising engine performance, making it an efficient engine design for application.
