Cylinder Head - General Information
The cylinder head group consists of the cylinder head, valves, valve guides, valve springs, stem seals, valve seat
inserts, cylinder head capscrews, fuel crossover, collets, spring retainer, crossheads, and the injector sleeves.
The exhaust valves are manufactured from a material that is capable of operating at a higher temperature than
the intake valves. The exhaust valves can be installed in the intake valve location. Do not install the intake valves
in the exhaust valve location. The valve seat inserts for the exhaust and the intake valves are also manufactured
from different materials. The exhaust valve seat can be used for both intake and exhaust locations. Do not use
the intake valve seat in the exhaust location.
Mark, label, or tag the cylinder head parts such as crossheads, valves, and valve springs with the cylinder number
and location from which they were removed. This practice will prove to be a valuable aid in diagnosing any cylinder
head or part failures and to make sure the reuseable parts are installed in their original locations.
