Hot off the Press: Another C13 Gets a Second Life in Chile!

Guangzhou, August 18, 2024 - Just crated up and shipped out another workhorse - a fully rebuilt Cat® C13 that's heading to a copper mine in the Andes. These guys were in a tight spot - their 349E excavator blew a piston clean through the block (you should've seen the photos!), and Cat quoted them 12 weeks for a new diesel engine.

We got them back up and running in 18 days flat.

The Nuts and Bolts:

· Not just a rebuild - we caught a sneaky crack near the #5 cylinder that most shops would've missed

· Swapped in upgraded Mahle pistons to handle the thin mountain air

· Dyno-tested at 415hp (5% over spec) with our custom fuel mapping

· Saved them enough cash to buy a used pickup truck ($28,637 to be exact)

"These mining outfits don't care about shiny paint jobs," says our lead tech Carlos. "They need engines that'll run another 15,000 hours without blinking. That's why we..."

✔ Balance every rotating assembly to aircraft specs

✔ Pressure-test every coolant passage at 35psi

✔ Include our infamous "break it and we'll buy it back" 12-month guarantee

Pro Tip: We've got two more C13 cores on the rebuild line right now - one's already spoken for by a quarry in Malaysia.
