PPE Cast Iron Cylinder Heads for 01-04 GM 6.6L Duramax LB7

Description

If it becomes the unfortunate time for you to replace heads in your LB7 Duramax, look no further than the PPE Cast Iron Cylinder Head. This cylinder head offers the same heat expansion rate as the OEM cast block that completely resolves the common head gasket scrubbing issue. The specialty alloyed gray cast iron liquid cooled cylinder head has elevated strength in higher temperatures with creep resistance so blown head gaskets are a thing of the past. Each head comes complete with brand new springs, spring retainers, spring locators, valves, valve seals, valve keepers, valve seats, valve guides, rocker arm dowels, and freeze plugs. The upgraded tapered valve springs provide faster response and eliminate valve float at high rpms and the CNC machined spring retainers and locators keep them all in place. The premium 21-4N stellite reinforced exhaust valves and chrome silicon alloy intake valves are all fully nitridated with increased abrasion resistance. Another feature of this upgraded head is the fuel injector cups are cast into the cylinder head, eliminating leaks caused by factory fuel injector cup seals.With a set of these heads, you will notice a reduction in engine clatter compared to factory aluminum heads. Each head comes with a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty. Sold individually.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The valve seats of the PPE Heavy Cast Iron Cylinder Heads are installed with an interference that maximizes the durability and lifespan of the cylinder heads. Such interference might not be optimal for extreme-performance applications where a significant amount of heat is created. For those applications, PPE suggests that the exhaust valve seats be replaced with higher interference (+0.006'' to +0.008'') oversized exhaust valve seats (Nominal size 34mm).
