This is the complete cylinder head assembly for the air brake compressor, designed to house the valves and facilitate the compression of air. Manufactured to precise tolerances, it ensures optimal sealing and efficient air intake and exhaust, unlike a worn head with damaged valve seats or cracked housing. Operators might observe a persistent air leak from the compressor area, a failure to reach or maintain required air pressure, or unusual noises during compressor operation.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Flush cooling system with distilled water before refilling. Use pre-mixed coolant — never plain water, which causes corrosion. Pressure-test system after any cooling repair. Check thermostat by immersing in hot water — should open at rated temperature.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
A common initial symptom is a noticeable and persistent air leak originating from the compressor housing or head area. If ignored, the compressor may fail to build adequate air pressure, leading to reduced braking effectiveness. The ultimate risk is a complete loss of air pressure, rendering the braking system inoperable.
Ensure the mating surfaces of the cylinder head and compressor block are perfectly clean and flat before assembly. Do not reuse old head gaskets; always install a new one.
Inspect the compressor valves and piston assembly for wear or damage when replacing the cylinder head.
