Bought another one that the insurance company drilled holes in the block, the guy gave me another new block to go with it. What’s best way to pull motor on cat d5g’s. Sad thing is cat is down for the last week they said they got hacked, do I pull it where the bellhousing bolts to the 1/2 plate with all the bolts around it, or at the pump right behind bellhousing?

So what size holes and what or where do they go into? Thread them and install plugs. ;)

They were probably verifying water inclusion and trashing a machine that they were paying for.
Much like a salvage title on a motor vehicle.

Harley is right, so the pump connected to the bellhousing has to come with motor is what he is saying right? I always thought you can just pull motor..
