In this video, Highway and Heavy Parts Sales Technician Rob breaks down all the possible signs that your old diesel engine cylinder head needs replacing and how to prevent catastrophic failure.

As we’ve mentioned in a previous post, cylinder head damage is a major issue that can cause problems throughout your engine. It’s not just cracks that you have to worry about.

As we talked about in an earlier post, there are many things that could lead to an engine failure or the need for an engine rebuild. One such indicator is low or no compression in your engine cylinders.

Are you experiencing low power or poor fuel economy? Do you find yourself replacing filters more often, or have you noticed smoke coming from your exhaust stack?

In your diesel engine, it’s not just the camshaft that can wear or fail. You also have to pay attention to the health of your camshaft bearings.

Whether you’re on the road or in the fields, we know that an engine failure in your diesel engine is more than just a minor inconvenience. It means lost time and lost profits. And if it’s a failure in your fuel system, you can be looking at thousands of dollars in repairs.
