Note my post on Orings because the kit does not include all the required ones.

Hi Ed,

Just talked to the boatstore and these are readily available.  Thanks to all for the feedback.

Best regards, and Merry Christmas!

Edward Buker:
With all due respect, Dave is pointing out weak points in this design that need to be watched. At some point many of us will need to migrate to some alternative and he has provided an excellent choice that is a much simpler trouble free design when any of us are needing to or want to make this change.

Gentleman, All Cat owner have a very fine engine that will go the
extra mile. Now looking at years and many miles problems are starting to stand out. Some
of these problems,  the chassis Mfg, and motorhome builder have created. Modified Caterpillar
systems by removing, adding aftermarket systems to meet chassis mfg. build spec's. Note:
Caterpillar shipped engines complete ready to start and run. Problem that I have run into
several with fuel system modified and aftermarket parts, weight pro and con. Update turn around
on parts when owner is along side road. Looking ahead like Joel mentioned, I been removing
aftermarket parts and replacement back to the way the engines were shipped using cat parts.
Add on of Coolant Level sensor ( is not caterpillar part ) but chassis mfg and has caused many
costly repairs for a $ 37.00 circuit board. This aftermarket add on is programed into the ECM
as engine derate. Cat engine feature is programed at factory to no. Looking ahead we can debate
Dave's post updates on cat electronic engines including removing older aftermarket add on parts.
I'm suggesting, broke down and root cause of problem points in above direction than repair with
easy to get parts. Being a retired cat mechanic, advice should be look forward with update cat parts.
Happy holiday, Dave Atherton Retired Cat Mechanic
