worst motors of all time

The CAT C175 engines....they spin bearings, **** turbos, crack turbo towers, high pressure fuel pumps......etc.
They are now doing Gen II's of these......wonder how well they will do......lucky to get 4,000 hours out of a Gen I.
The 3rd pic is the old 3500 series......known for dropping valve heads.

cat made a lot of duds the marine engines like the 3208 430hp and a few smaller inline 6 and a few 8 cyl . the only one I ever seen last in a commercial fishing boat was the 3406 but they are big and heavy but great torque
