Brand New, not remanufactured! Our cylinder heads may not be casted in the USA, but we only use the best casting companies to supply our bare castings. Every head we sell goes through a machine shop in the USA, and gets loaded with premium Inconel valves, Premium Hardened seats, guides, and new dual concentric valve springs to keep vibration and harmonics in check. We know this is what makes our cylinder heads stand out from the crowd. Most of our competitors just import their heads, already loaded with some cheap, subpar valve train components that will make them the most profit. We believe in quality over quantity; we only sell what we use in our own shop!
- This head is fire ringed, which is a small stainless steel ring that is pressed into a groove that is machined into the head.
- The stainless ring protrudes out of the head and crushes into the head gasket just behind where it seals combustion in the cylinder.
- This helps back up the head gasket fire ring, aiding in a more stable head gasket. Think of the fire ring as a brace on a dam wall that will keep pressure from blowing out the dam wall when extra pressure is added.
Achieving a permanent seal under extreme boost levels is a common challenge for high-horsepower builds, but the 3406E/C15 Fire Ringed Cylinder Head from Enhanced Power Products solves this issue through superior engineering. If you are tired of blowing head gaskets during heavy hauls or competitive pulls, this specialized Cat cylinder head provides the structural integrity you have been searching for. By browsing for Caterpillar parts online, you can secure a head that has been precision-machined to accept a steel fire ring, which bites into the head and block to create a mechanical lock against combustion pressure. These CAT engine parts are indispensable for engines running advanced timing or upgraded turbochargers where standard gaskets fail. Integrating these Cat engine performance parts ensures your C15 or 3406E remains reliable under the most grueling thermal stresses. Order today.- Heavy-Duty Uses: This head is primarily used in high-performance semi-trucks, tractor pulling applications, and industrial machinery where cylinder pressures exceed stock limits.
- Superior Sealing: The fire ring design eliminates the risk of gasket "scrubbing," making it a vital upgrade for engines pushing significant boost and high torque loads.
- Precision Construction: Each unit is cast from high-quality alloy and CNC-machined at Enhanced Power Products to ensure exact fitment and improved coolant flow for your hardest-working machines.
