Cats are good engines but they will require more preventive & corrective maintenance and overhauls then the old Enterprise engines. The old engines were very forgiving. The new Cats will require more tender loving care. In addition, the longevity of these new engines will be far less than that of the old engines. Parts & technical assistance will be available for the new Cats so that is a big plus. Personally, I will miss seeing the long block Enterprise engines.
