I know there are atleast a dozen of you that have the numbers in your head.
You folks are a pretty well respected bunch.
Perhaps one of you might even have the parts book.
I would gladley buy it(not sure if im allowed to say that, mods please remove it if not).
Could I even buy the parts book from Cat?...need to know the number of that too I guess.
Thanks again

Look at page 24 or so of this PDF which is from the CAT legendary literature website in the power units section. You need to find the book for your serial number range. parts books are listed as PB, operator's manuals as OM etc.

Olsen Gaskets has a gasket kit. Was kinda spendy though if I rememeber right.

Here are a couple of scanned images from my parts book.
You might need to clear up what this engine is out of, a serial # or a year.
The updated part numbers are now 3S3977
JVMMOPAR Does this look correct?![]()
Olsen Gaskets quoted me $500.00 for the over haul gasket set and $242.00 for the pony motor.
You would be better off buying them piece by piece as needed.
Very greatfull for the help.
Now i can hopefully compare the gaskets in the list with what i need and visit my local dealer.
there is a pretty good aftermarket guy local as well so i might give him a visit as well.
Tonight im planning to start cleaning up some parts so maybe i will put up a few pics.

Dratt. That first picture is a D315 I can't quite make out the SN range but I think it says 7U. The second definately is a D4400.
As for your local Cat partsman I would walk in there and tell him to get off his lazy but and pull his head out of his *** and look up the parts.
My patience for that is non existant.
Since working at this GM dealer and working with parts guys who are too lazy to look up parts because it interupts his magazine time. I have a very short temper when it comes to that. Even the local NAPA can be like that you have to PUSH them to dig deeper when trying to find parts. It always seems like if I need more than an oil filter that I have to get on the internet and find the part numbers myself then search for the parts. And as a mechanic you don't get paid for that.
