The Ruich Value aftermarket cylinder block for the Cummins NT855 is the ultimate solution for revitalizing one of the most durable engines in history. Replacing OEM numbers like 3081283, 3025282, and 3054942, our blocks are manufactured to meet the rigorous demands of the legendary “855 Big Cam” series.

Technical Q&A: Cummins NT855 Cylinder Block

What is the difference between “Big Cam” and “Small Cam” 855 blocks?

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.

How does this replacement block address the common counterbore cracking issue?

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.

Can I use this block for a Komatsu D85 bulldozer engine rebuild?

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.
