Technical notes
The 355-0769 is Caterpillar's single (upper) cylinder head gasket kit for one cylinder head on 3500-series engines, covering the 3508, 3512 and 3516 family including the 3512B marine engine. It seals the joint between an individual cylinder head and the block, so a full V-engine requires one kit per head being serviced rather than a single set for the whole engine. Distributor cross-reference data lists it as the current/replacement number for the older genuine Cat 9X-8298 (3550769), and tying back to 326-9479, so confirm your engine's serial-number prefix and head configuration before ordering. Because the 3508/3512/3516 share this gasket family, verify head casting and counterbore arrangement against your parts manual to avoid mismatched fire-ring fitment.

Frequently asked questions
- Does 355-0769 cover the whole engine or just one cylinder head?
- It is a single (upper) cylinder head gasket kit covering one head. For a complete 3508/3512/3516 (incl. 3512B) head job you need one kit per head being serviced, not one kit for the entire engine.
- Is 355-0769 the same as 9X-8298?
- Distributor cross-reference listings show 355-0769 as the current/replacement number for the older genuine Cat 9X-8298 (3550769) single upper cylinder head gasket kit; both reference the same 3508/3512/3516 application.
- Will this fit a 3512B marine engine?
- Yes, the 3512B is part of the 3512/3500 series this kit covers, but verify your engine serial-number prefix and head configuration against the Cat parts manual before ordering, since 3500-series heads vary.
