Cummins 4B, 4BT Long Block Engine Options

Cummins 4B (3.9 L) Causes of Failure and Long Block Replacements

A new Cummins 4BT long block is an economical solution for a majority of customers who have a catastrophic internal engine failure. Major internal engine failure can include:

  • Spun Crankshaft Bearing
  • Cracked Cylinder Head(s)
  • Scored Pistons and Liners
  • Dropped Valves
  • Camshaft Failure
  • Crankshaft Failure
  • Hole through the Engine Block
  • Lifter/Roller Failure
  • Connecting Rod Failure
  • Over Fueling
  • Lack of oil or oil pressure
  • Extreme Blow By

4B Long Blocks Ready for Final Crating

A Cummins 4BT long block is considered a 50-75% engine and does not include the fuel system, turbo, inlet or exhaust manifolds, water pump etc... Essentially, if a catastrophic internal hard part failure occurred within the 4BT Cummins block the engine experienced hard internal failure but the ancillary components are in good working order, a long block is one of the most cost effective solutions vs. a extended long block. Many customers think that a long block with the labor to assemble the engine back to complete status will be more expensive but that is simply not the case. On average, it takes roughly 5-10 hours to assemble a 4BT long block. With a shop labor rate of $130 per hour you're looking at $650 or so. The cost savings over an extended long block or full reman unit is a few thousand dollars on average.

Quality Control Measures

All of our new extended long blocks are run tested before they leave the factory floor; this is to ensure quality and workmanship. Our Cummins 4B long block assemblies are put through rigorous quality control measures to make sure they meet OEM spec but are not dyno/run tested since a long block is only half assembled.
