Caterpillar Cylinder head 1799458

The Caterpillar cylinder head is a key component of the engine of a construction machine. It is responsible for containing the cylinders that are used to compress air or fuel and ignite the mixture inside the engine. The cylinder head is typically made of cast iron or steel, and it includes several components such as valves, pistons, and camshafts. The cylinder head is connected to the block, which is the main body of the engine, via bolts and screws. The cylinder head is an essential part of any construction machine, as it plays a crucial role in converting energy into motion, which powers the machine's various functions. Without a functioning cylinder head, the machine would not be able to operate, and the work on the construction site could be greatly delayed. The specific part number you mentioned, 1799458, refers to a particular type or version of the Caterpillar cylinder head. However, it is important to note that different models and types of construction machines may have different specifications and requirements for their cylinder heads. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a professional or authorized dealer to determine the correct part number and specifications for your specific machine.

Brand New & Fully loaded C12 Cylinder head.  Our castings are engineered, designed, and assembled in the U.S.A. They are better than OEM quality containing 5% more nickel content in the casting material. This additional nickel content prevents the cylinder head from cracking in between the valves. Additionally, the coolant passages have been enlarged by 30%, and inner ribs have been reinforced to reduce heat stress. 

What is this Stage 2 all about?

This stage 2 cylinder head is an upgrade from the standard cylinder head. The difference is that the exhaust valves in this cylinder head have all been upgraded to inconel valves. This major performance improvement increases the capacity of the valves to endure higher temperatures as well as heightened pressure. 

There is a common fracture issue with standard valves when they are running at heightened horse-power, this superior quality inconel material prevents these types of fractures and ensures that your exhaust valves can stand the heat! If you are looking to get more out of your engine and ensure that your head doesn't fall prey to corrosion, pitting, and cracking; this is the head for you!
