Cummins ISX Head that comes with valves, springs and cam bearings installed. Head comes standard with inconel exhaust valves. Can be order with all inconel intake valves and fire rings for performance applications. Fits 1999-2000 model.
Core Design and Functionality
Dual Camshaft Setup: Unlike single-cam engines, this head utilizes two distinct camshafts located overhead:
Camshaft 1 (Valvetrain): Operates the intake and exhaust valves, including dedicated lobes for the engine brake.
Purpose of Separation: By splitting these duties, the engine achieves better timing control, more precise fuel delivery, reduced stress on individual camshafts, and smoother combustion.
Investing in the ISX Dual Cam Head - Inconel intake Valves from Enhanced Power Products represents a definitive upgrade for owner-operators aiming to neutralize severe thermal fatigue before it halts their operations. Spotting the early signs to replace your aging casting—such as bubbles in the coolant reservoir, unexplained white exhaust smoke, or hard morning starts—can shield your business from catastrophic engine damage. This dual-overhead-cam platform utilizes high-nickel alloy intake valves specifically engineered to resist stretching and seat recession under blistering combustion temperatures. Upgrading with these specialized diesel engine parts guarantees an airtight cylinder seal capable of handling extreme boost without warping. Integrating these heavy-duty Cummins engine parts into your upcoming in-frame overhaul restores original breathing geometry and optimizes fuel efficiency across all cylinders. These resilient Cummins performance parts feature a reinforced deck design that actively prevents the localized cracking common in standard factory units, delivering the unyielding long-haul stamina your commercial transport business relies on daily.

Key Features and Technical Specs
Improved Combustion Chamber: Designed for better air/fuel mixing using swirl-inducing intake ports and a centrally located injector to reduce puddling.
Enhanced Cooling: Features large water jackets surrounding high-heat zones (especially exhaust valves) to prevent hot spots, warping, and cracking.
Material Quality: Often constructed with high-nickel content cast iron to prevent cracking between valves. Premium aftermarket options may include Inconel valves and hardened seats for extreme heat resistance.
Valve Configuration: Engineered for durability with nitrogen-hardened valve seats to withstand high pressures and heat from EGR systems.
All our cylinder heads are completed in a machine shop in the USA for strict quality control.
