This is Stage 2 in our Performance Line of cylinder heads. Installed with Inconel exhaust valves, it can withstand extreme temperatures and pressure generated engines.
Caterpillar C15 engines are very popular among our customers. We’ve noticed that over time we’re getting the same questions regarding cylinder head problems in this engine. In this post, we’re covering cylinder head symptoms, why it’s happening, and what solutions we have for you!
Is your Navistar/International DT466 showing signs of low oil pressure? Fuel in the oil? Low cranking pressure? Rob from HHP’s Technical Sales is here to discuss what signs your DT466 is showing that would result in a failing HEUI Oil Pump.
A failed head gasket on a Caterpillar C15 isn’t just a sealing issue – it’s usually the result of improper clamping force, liner height variation, or thermal stress inside the engine.
Replacing the gasket without addressing the underlying cause often leads to repeat failure.
Understanding why the gasket failed is critical before installing a new cylinder head gasket set.
