The Cummins NT855 cylinder block (OEM: 3081283) is a heavy-duty cast iron unit compatible with Big Cam III/IV engines.
It features precision-machined counterbores to prevent liner seal failure and fits equipment including Kenworth trucks and Komatsu D85 dozers.
In stock for global export.
We specifically address the legacy issues of the 855 platform, such as counterbore ledge wear. Our blocks undergo strict CNC machining to ensure perfect liner height projection, preventing the dreaded head gasket failures common in high-mileage engines. Ruich Value provides a reliable foundation for your engine rebuild, keeping your heavy machinery operational for decades to come.

The primary difference lies in the camshaft bore diameter. “Small Cam” blocks (early NH/NT models) use a 2.0-inch camshaft, while “Big Cam” blocks (introduced around 1976) use a 2.5-inch camshaft to improve combustion timing and reduce emissions. Our 3081283 casting is designed for Big Cam applications, but we also stock Small Cam variants. Please confirm your CPL (Control Parts List) number before ordering.
OEM 855 blocks often suffer from counterbore ledge wear, causing the cylinder liner to sink and blow the head gasket. Our aftermarket blocks are cast with a higher-grade iron alloy and feature precision CNC-machined counterbore ledges with tighter tolerances, ensuring proper liner protrusion and eliminating the need for immediate shimming.
Yes, the Komatsu N855 and S6D125 engines share the same block architecture as the Cummins NT855. This cylinder block (OEM 3081283) is fully compatible with Komatsu D85, D155, and PC400 equipment powered by the 855-series engine, provided the camshaft compatibility is verified.
