This is a Cylinder Head Compressor Kit, also known as a cylinder head gasket set, for Volvo D13 engines used in trucks and heavy equipment. It provides the necessary gaskets and seals to properly seal the cylinder head to the engine block, preventing coolant and oil leaks and maintaining compression. Manufactured to OEM standards, this kit ensures a tight seal superior to a worn or degraded gasket that may have lost its elasticity. Signs of a failing head gasket include coolant loss with no visible leaks, white smoke from the exhaust, or oil contamination in the coolant.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Inspect mating surfaces for wear before fitting. Use torque specs from service manual. Replace gaskets and seals as a set — reusing compressed gaskets causes oil leaks. Clean all oil passages with compressed air.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Visible white smoke from the exhaust, unexplained coolant loss, or the presence of oil in the coolant are early indicators. Over time, this can lead to engine overheating, loss of power, and potential internal engine damage due to coolant contamination.
Ensure the cylinder head and engine block mating surfaces are perfectly clean and free of any debris or old gasket material. Never reuse old head bolts; always install new ones as specified by the manufacturer.
Always have the cylinder head checked for flatness and resurfaced if necessary before installing a new gasket set.
