CAT 3412 Marine Engine Assembly — 550 kW Diesel Power Unit
Complete 3412 Engine Assembly with a serviceable valve seat insert, matched marine engine parts and full diesel engine parts coverage for CAT Marine Engine propulsion, auxiliary and excavator applications.
This CAT 3412 Marine Engine Assembly is delivered as a fully built, run-tested CAT Marine Engine power unit rated 550 kW (738 hp) at 1800 rpm. The 3412 is a 27.0 L V-12 turbocharged and aftercooled diesel platform, and every unit we supply is assembled with matched internal components, aligned and pressure checked before export packing. Buyers sourcing marine engine parts for repower, overhaul or fleet maintenance can take the complete assembly, or combine it with the individual diesel engine parts listed below — cylinder head and valve train, valve seat insert, piston and liner kit, bearings, gaskets, injectors, turbocharger, water pump and oil pump — from one single supplier.

Valve Seat Insert and Valve Train Service
Valve seat insert condition decides how well a 3412 marine engine holds compression, so every assembly we build uses a correctly specified valve seat insert in both intake and exhaust positions, matched to the valve face angle and pressed to the correct interference fit. The head is then vacuum leak tested, the valve lash is set to CAT specification and the injector seat is re-cut so the fuel nozzle sits perfectly in the head.
For customers running scheduled overhauls, the valve seat insert and valve guide are also available as separate marine engine parts, which keeps your 3412 service cost low without replacing the complete cylinder head. Tell us your engine arrangement number and we will confirm the matching valve seat insert, valve, guide and head gasket set in one quotation.
