This is a complete compressor cylinder head, a vital component of the air brake or air suspension system responsible for housing the valves and providing the sealing surface for the compressor's piston. It is manufactured to precise tolerances for optimal sealing and airflow, ensuring reliable air generation, unlike a cracked or worn head that can lead to air leaks and system inefficiency. Operators may notice the air compressor running excessively, the air system not building sufficient pressure, or audible air leaks.
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.
The first indication of a faulty cylinder head is often the air compressor running for extended periods without building adequate system pressure. If ignored, this can lead to insufficient air supply for braking and other air-dependent systems, potentially causing safety issues. In severe cases, a damaged head can lead to compressor failure and a complete loss of air pressure.
Ensure the mounting surfaces on the compressor block and cylinder head are perfectly clean and flat before installation. Tighten the head bolts in the specified sequence and to the correct torque to prevent leaks.
Inspect the compressor valves and piston rings for wear when replacing the cylinder head.
