Help with engine classification
Looking at bus with a ER31268230 engine MY 2000. Assuming it is a 3126B but don’t know what 8230 means? Can someone educate me on this?? Thanks.

Probably Caterpillar's CPL (Critical Parts List) prefix. Basically tells you turbo/injector size and HP rating. Check CAT's website and see if they have a decoder that lets you get the relevant info.

Please post a link to the tool you used to ID your engine so others might use it.

Not sure given to me by seller. If it is B230, would that signify 230 hp?

There you go. I looked at this and was almost positive we were missing something. It has to be a B
And the 230 would be the hp rating.
