This compressor cylinder head is a vital component of the air brake or auxiliary air system, housing the valves that control the compression and release of air. Manufactured to meet strict OEM quality benchmarks, it offers superior sealing and durability compared to a worn head with damaged valve seats. Operators may notice a loss of air pressure, prolonged compressor run times, or audible air leaks from the compressor area when this part is failing.
Always verify with serial number before ordering.

Flush hydraulic lines before fitting new components. Use only manufacturer-specified hydraulic fluid. Check O-rings and backup rings for correct orientation. Bleed air from system after installation.
Always consult the OEM service manual for model-specific torque values and procedures. WhatsApp our technical team if you need fitment guidance.
Early signs of a failing cylinder head include a gradual increase in the time it takes for the air system to build pressure. If ignored, internal leaks will worsen, leading to a constant loss of air, inability to reach full system pressure, and potential overheating of the compressor. This can compromise braking performance and the operation of air-powered accessories.
Ensure the mounting surfaces on both the cylinder block and the head are perfectly clean and flat before installation. Avoid overtightening the head bolts in a random pattern, as this can lead to uneven sealing and potential gasket failure.
Replace the air compressor valves and gasket set when installing a new cylinder head for optimal performance and sealing.
