Description
Upgrade your 2001-2004 GM 6.6L Duramax LB7 with PPE's Ported Cast Iron Cylinder Heads, designed for superior durability and performance. Over time, OEM cast-aluminum cylinder heads can fall short due to the mismatch in heat expansion rates between the aluminum heads and cast-iron block, leading to head gasket issues, warping, or even cracking in high-performance situations.PPE’s ported cast iron heads, made from high-quality alloyed gray iron, are engineered to eliminate these common problems. The cast iron construction matches the heat expansion rate of the stock engine block, eliminating head gasket scrubbing and blown gaskets. With superior fatigue strength, heat resistance, and creep resistance, these heads are built to last, even in extreme heat environments. Cast-in fuel injector cups also solve the OEM injector cup leaking issues for increased reliability. The CNC porting process improves airflow, delivering enhanced power, fuel efficiency, and throttle response while reducing turbo lag and engine stress. The ports are smoothed and optimized for consistency, delivering increased horsepower and torque without sacrificing reliability. Each cylinder head is tailored to exact specifications to ensure consistent and optimized airflow dynamics, providing the performance and longevity you expect for your Duramax engine. Each head comes with a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty. Sold individually.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
  • 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).
