The ATC-8260 20/20 Oversize (also referenced as PT-8260) is a precision block insert designed specifically forCaterpillar 3406 C15 engine blocks.

The external diameter of this insert is 6.685″ with a height of 0.225″.

In cases where the deck surface or upper ledge has been Pitted, Worn, or Cracked, the LS-8260 insert allows rebuilders to restore the proper counterbore without excessive material removal. It press-fits into the prepared counterbore and provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface ideal for long-term engine performance.
