About Cylinder head

Replacement Cylinder Heads for Diesel Engines

Find replacement cylinder heads for selected diesel engines used in excavators, loaders, tractors, industrial machinery, and other equipment. The FAB Heavy Parts cylinder head collection includes bare cylinder heads, complete cylinder head assemblies, and selected assemblies supplied with gasket kits. Related listings may also include cylinder head bolts, injector sleeves, and other cylinder-head components.

Browse options for engines from Yanmar, Komatsu, Isuzu, Kubota, Cummins, Caterpillar, Perkins, Mitsubishi, Toyota, and other manufacturers. Examples in the collection include Yanmar 4TNV94L, 4TNV98, 3TNV88, and 3TNV70; Komatsu 4D94LE-2, 4D84E-3, and 4D88; and Isuzu 4BD2 and 6HK1 applications. Exact compatibility depends on the individual product listing and engine configuration.

Choose the Right Cylinder Head for Your Engine

The cylinder head closes the top of the engine cylinders and forms part of the combustion chamber. Depending on the engine design, it also accommodates components such as valves, fuel injectors, and intake or exhaust passages. Damage, cracking, or excessive warpage can affect sealing and engine operation, making correct replacement selection important during engine repairs and rebuilds.

Before ordering a replacement cylinder head, compare the part number from your original component with the listed reference numbers. Confirm the exact engine model and variant, equipment application, and any relevant serial or build information. Similar engine models may use different cylinder heads, so the equipment brand alone is not enough to establish fitment.

Bare Cylinder Heads, Complete Assemblies, and Gasket Kits

Product configurations vary across this collection. A bare cylinder head may require existing or separately purchased components, while a complete assembly may include valves or other fitted parts. Some listings specifically include a full gasket kit. Do not assume that every cylinder head comes with valves, gaskets, springs, or installation hardware; check the individual product description for the included components.

The collection contains both products identified as new replacement or aftermarket parts and listings with other product descriptions. Review each listing’s condition and designation rather than assuming every item is a genuine OEM part or an identical replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find the correct replacement cylinder head for my machine?

Please start with the part number on your existing cylinder head or in your engine parts documentation. Compare it with the replacement cylinder head’s part numbers, engine model, and equipment application. If possible, include your engine serial number or variant information when asking us to help confirm the match. Similar engine names do not automatically mean the cylinder heads are interchangeable.

What is the difference between a bare cylinder head and a complete cylinder head assembly?

A bare cylinder head generally refers to the head itself, while a complete assembly may include fitted components. The exact contents vary by product. Please review the replacement cylinder head's description and package contents before ordering so you know which parts are included and which may need to be purchased separately.

Does a cylinder head come with a gasket kit?

Some products explicitly include a full gasket kit, while others do not state that one is included. For example, our cylinder head listings include a Yanmar 4TNV94L/4TNV98 cylinder head with a full gasket kit and a Komatsu 4D94LE-2 cylinder head with a full gasket kit. Please check the exact product title and description before placing your order.

Can I use a cylinder head listed for one engine variant on a similar variant?

Please don’t assume that similar engine models use the same cylinder head. Differences in engine configuration or production version can affect compatibility. Compare the listed part number and supported engine variants with your engine information. If you’re unsure, please send us the product link and your engine details for review.

What should be checked when replacing a cylinder head?

Please follow the service procedure for your exact engine. The cylinder head and mating surfaces should be checked for cracks, damage, and warpage, with measurements compared against the manufacturer’s specifications. Also confirm the required gasket, fasteners, and tightening sequence. Inspection limits and reuse requirements vary by engine, so use the correct service manual or consult a qualified technician.
