Precious metals kits are available in four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Each kit is designed to save time and lower cost.

Whether you do it yourself or work with a Cat dealer, the US construction equipment manufacturing giant says that you’ll maximise uptime, strengthen your bottom line and extend the life of your equipment.

Silver kits include the Bronze kit, plus new, unassembled pistons, piston rings, retainers and cylinder liners and have no core charge.

Gold kits include the Bronze kit and the added value of (six) Cat Reman pre-assembled cylinder packs.

Platinum kits include the Bronze kit, plus (six) Cat Reman pre-assembled cylinder packs, a cylinder head, fuel injectors or fuel nozzles, a water pump and an oil pump.
