595-6161: Engine Cylinder Short Head

Description: Cylinder heads, like 595-6161, sit on top of the cylinder block, closing in the top of the cylinder and forming the combustion chamber Attributes: Cat cylinder heads are: • Fully machined to Caterpillar's rigid design tolerances and standards. Ensures no leaks, due to a perfect fit of all cylinder head components and mating surfaces. This provides maximum reliability and longevity. • Clean. Casting processes can leave behind core sand deep inside cylinder heads which later serve as harmful contamination to the engine or prevent proper cooling during operation. • Work with standard & oversize guides and/or valve inserts: The availability of multiple sizes of guides and inserts provides maximum cylinder head reuse and repair. • Designed for remanufacture. The costly head casting's bottom deck can be machined to clean up minor damage and still be reused for an additional life. Application: C6.6 and C7.1 Engines.
