CAT is a company in California that imports stuff from commie China. They sell all types of stuff, aluminum rockers, balancers, flexplates etc.
BTW, Eagle cranks/rods are from commie China too as are all kinds of stroker cranks both cast and forged as well as rods......

I think it means it 'pay your $$$, take your chances' type thing. Don't see how there stuff is going to be 'better' or cheaper than lots of other places........
Try google for them.....

Cat dont have a real good rep. on quality parts but I did see (read) that they are starting to get there cranks and rods from the same people as Eagle so it sounds like they are starting to turn the corner. I know of people that have run there stuff with no problems but there are a lot that did have problems. I myself would not run there stuff the extra money savings is not worth the risk to me.
