Stop settling for a standard "rebuild." Choate Performance offers a fully remanufactured Komatsu 102 Series Long Block (S6D102E / SA6D102E / SAA6D102E) built on the legendary Cummins 5.9L 12-valve architecture. Engineered for owner-operators and fleet owners who rely on mechanical reliability, our engines are built to handle the grueling thermal and load demands of heavy excavators, loaders, and dozers.
The Choate Remanufacturing Process
We treat your industrial 5.9L engine with the same "Stock is Not an Option" philosophy we bring to our high-horsepower competition diesel builds:
-
CNC Blueprint Boring: We don't just hone cylinders; we CNC blueprint the block to ensure true geometry, deck flatness, and perfect alignment.
-
KDP Correction: We permanently eliminate the infamous 12-valve "Killer Dowel Pin" issue by installing a tabbed retainer so the pin can never back out into your timing gears.
-
Precision Balancing: We don't settle for simple component weight-matching. We fully balance the entire rotating assembly to within 2 grams. This drastically minimizes harmonic vibration, eliminating the leading cause of premature bearing failure in heavy equipment.
-
Torque Plate Honing: We simulate the clamping force of a torqued cylinder head during the honing process to deliver maximum ring seal and oil control.
-
Upgraded Thermal Sealing: We utilize premium cylinder head hardware and gaskets to prevent the rear-cylinder (#5 and #6) thermal fatigue common on heavy-duty 5.9L platforms.
