2239250A | Caterpillar C18 Stage 3 Heavy Haul Cylinder Head (2 Year Warranty)

Benefits of this Performance Cylinder Head:

Brand New & Fully loaded C18 Universal Cylinder head. This head will work with both Acert and non-Acert engines alike! Our castings are engineered, designed, and assembled in the U.S.A. They are better than OEM quality containing 5% more nickel content in the casting material. This additional nickel content prevents the cylinder head from cracking in between the valves. Additionally, the coolant passages have been enlarged by 30%, and inner ribs have been reinforced to reduce heat stress.

What is this Stage 3 all about?

This stage 3 cylinder head is an upgrade from the stage 2 cylinder head. The difference is that BOTH the exhaust AND intake valves in this cylinder head have all been upgraded to inconel valves. This major performance improvement increases the capacity of the valves to endure higher temperatures as well as heightened pressure. 

This head can endure some serious heat and pressure. If you are increasing your horse power by putting in a Marine camshaft, marine injectors, or a big daddy turbo, you definitely want to make sure that your cylinder head can keep up with the rest of your engine!

There is a common fracture issue with standard valves when they are running at heightened horse-power, this superior quality inconel material prevents these types of fractures and ensures that your exhaust valves can stand the heat! If you are looking to get more out of your engine and ensure that your head doesn't fall prey to corrosion, pitting, and cracking; this is the head for you!
