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.
