Cat 3116
Anyone mod one? My buddy just bought a top kick with this motor and its guts less...he wants to turn it up to a safe amount that the transmission can hold, it is all mechanical but I know nothing about cats at all. What is their story?

Sorry man, not going happen. The C7 had higher HP. The only HIGH HP I know of on a 3116 was a twin set I overhauled in Alaska. They were factory rated at 450hp. They were cooled by seawater pumps and keal? coolers..The 3116 is all mechanical. C7 is electronic.. 3114/3116/3126. 3114 is a four popper. 3116/3126 are I 6's

In response to the thread over on the dieselplace I believe the 3116 was a Mitsubishi engine. At least when I worked in the Cat house seems like all the parts we ordered came in Mitsubishi wrappers. I believe it was Mitsubishi, I know for a fact it was Japanese. Not the greatest engines when I was there nearly 10 years ago. 3208, now that was a piece of work. Can't tell how many of those and the 3204's I built. I could look into a basket of bolts and pick one out and tell ya where it went on a 3204, built a blue million of those things.
That's been years ago and all information has been purged from memory.

I'm not sure Rifleman. Seems like they were around for a long time though. Remember most of those parts boxes were labeled "Caterpillar".

You can adjust the fuel rate, it takes a 2mm allen wrench. I would post the link, but I'm not allowed. It's the Low Buck Fuel rate site if that helps. That's about all a 3116 can handle, they arent too durable.

I don't see anything on there against the rules, so...
