Stop the Misdiagnosis: Finding Hidden Leaks with 373-4830 Test Plates

By Blog Admin

Oil in your coolant? Before you pull the cylinder head, check the oil cooler. The 373-4830 (ZTSE6063) test plates are the only way to confirm a cooler failure on CAT CT660 engines.

373-4830 ZTSE6063 Oil Cooler Test Plates CAT CT660

The Challenge of Cross-Contamination

On the CAT CT11, CT13, and CT15 platforms, an internal oil cooler leak often mimics the symptoms of a blown head gasket or a cracked block. Without the ability to isolate the cooler, many shops perform unnecessary, expensive engine teardowns. The 373-4830 test plates allow you to seal the cooler ports and apply pressure directly to the core, providing an undeniable "pass/fail" result in minutes.

  • Targeted Diagnostics – Specifically designed for the CAT CT660 truck platform and shared Navistar MaxxForce engines.
  • Seal and Test – Creates a high-pressure seal to find micro-cracks that only leak under operating temperature and pressure.
  • Avoid Costly Errors – Confirms whether the oil cooler is the source of contamination before you move to the engine block.
  • Cross-Platform Use – Works seamlessly with CT11, CT13, and CT15 engines as well as MaxxForce 11, 13, and 15 models.
  • Professional Grade – Heavy-duty construction ensures these plates remain a permanent fixture in your diagnostic kit.
