New Inlet Air Tube Assembly Is Used for 3512C and 3516C Large Frame Tier 3 Marine Engines {1071}

Usage:

3512C T3W
Engine:
3512C (S/N: T3W1-UP)
3516C (S/N: TKR1-UP; TKS1-UP; TKT1-UP; TKY1-UP)

Description of Change: The new tube assembly is built out of cast aluminum instead of formed steel tubing. The cast aluminum is stiffer, reducing movement, and cyclic stress on the tubing assembly, which helps to prevent damage.

Adaptable To: The parts listed in Table 1 are required for the new inlet air pipe assembly. Table 2 contains the effective serial numbers.
