Back your trim tabs down a little bit, and with all the work I bet your right at or slightly below 800.

That was a great job on the turbos...hope so, that will make the cleaning turbos with q-tips worth it
Jim, I have copies of the videos.There was a thread a while back about maintenance videos for the 3116, but the thread died out. Does anyone have these that they would be willing to sell or share?
I added boost and egt gauges to our engines last year. I’ll update this post with part numbers when I have a chance to pull them. I love having this data on the dash.
Gauges are ISSpro Turbocators. Total cost is about $800
ISSPro.com parts:
2 x R609 (Turbocator gauges)
2 x R658HT-PL (EGT Thermocouple)
2 x R66025-PL (25' EGT wiring to helm)
2 x R681 (engine end compression fitting)
2 x R7110-25 (25' boost hose to helM)
CAT fitting:
2 x 8J7844 (installs into one of the plugs in manifold right before the grid heater)

I should have done this when I bought new panels from Flounder. (upgraded tachs to Aetna's, removed and replaced non working raymarine gear etc.)
Anyway, would you be able to share pics of where the pyro probes are attached/inserted as well as the boost gauge fittings? Apologize if posted already, unable to locate.
Glad you found those Ryan! I miss the price point of Genuine CAT Parts!!Closing the loop on my compressor O-Ring hunt - CAT had the correct part available. They advised they are usually reusable but for $17 I replaced them.
part number 133-8525. Clamp bolts are 1255466. As always, double check with the dealer on your SN’s. I believe the higher HP versions have different turbo geometry than my 350HP

I'm currently looking at upgrading to a 410DA with diesels, local one has 3116 CATs in it. So from what I'm reading for the most part the 3116 wasn't (shouldn't) be affected by the French made soft blocks that I keep reading about. These motors have ~930 hours on them so I know the 1000 hour maint. is coming up for these and have heard that it can be costly.
I currently have a 01 340DA with 7.4 horizons and do most of the maintenance myself. Do most people do the maint themselves to save the money or pay to have it done. It looks like somethings (valve lash adj) need to be done by CAT.
Anyone have a CAT dealer/servicer in the DC area that they use/trust?
