Detroit Diesel Series 60 14L Cylinder Heads

Rebuilt Cylinder Head

The rebuilt Detroit Diesel Series 60 cylinder head offers a cost-effective alternative to brand-new heads. Each unit is carefully remanufactured, cleaned, pressure tested, and assembled with valves and springs. Rebuilt heads are typically sold with a refundable core deposit, allowing you to return your old head for credit. This option is ideal for operators looking to restore performance while maintaining budget control.

Key Features:

• Supplied complete with valves and springs.

• Meets OEM specifications for flow and compression.

• Ideal for non-EGR configurations.

• Backed by rigorous quality control standards.

New Cylinder Head

For operators who prefer zero previous use, the new Detroit Diesel Series 60 14L cylinder head is supplied fully assembled with valves and springs. New heads ensure maximum service life and eliminate the uncertainties associated with used or poorly rebuilt units.

Key Features:

• Brand-new casting with OEM engineering.

• Pre-assembled with valves and springs.

• Long-term durability and reliability.

• Compatible with modern service requirements.

Gaskets and Seals for the Series 60 Cylinder Head

A proper seal is critical for engine performance and efficiency. Diesel Pro Power provides all necessary gaskets to ensure your cylinder head installation is airtight and reliable.

Head Gasket

The head gasket maintains compression and separates coolant, oil, and combustion chambers. Our high-quality Detroit Diesel Series 60 head gaskets are designed for long-lasting durability under extreme operating conditions.

Head Gasket Kit

The head gasket kit contains all necessary top-end gaskets for a proper rebuild or installation. Ideal for mechanics who prefer having all components in one package.

Overhaul Gasket Kit

For complete engine rebuilds, the Series 60 overhaul gasket kit includes seals for the head, oil pan, intake, exhaust, and more—ensuring every surface is resealed during an overhaul.

Rocker Cover Gaskets

Available in both 4-bolt and 10-bolt configurations, rocker cover gaskets prevent oil leaks and maintain proper sealing under high vibration and heat.

Cylinder Head Hardware

Head Bolts

Cylinder head bolts are engineered to handle the immense clamping force required to secure the head. A complete set is required for each engine, and Diesel Pro Power ensures availability of bolts manufactured to exact Detroit Diesel specifications.

Isolators and Washers

For vibration control and alignment, isolators and washers are offered for different model years of the Series 60, including pre-1996 and 1996-1999 applications.

Valves and Valve Train Components

The valve system is critical for airflow, combustion efficiency, and exhaust management. Diesel Pro Power carries intake and exhaust valves, along with all supporting components required for a proper cylinder head rebuild.

Intake Valves

Designed for durability and precision fit, intake valves regulate airflow into the combustion chamber.

Exhaust Valves

Available for both standard and EGR applications, Series 60 exhaust valves are designed to withstand high heat and exhaust gas pressures. Some models feature nickel-based alloys for enhanced durability in emissions-controlled engines.

Valve Kits

Pre-packaged exhaust valve kits simplify ordering by combining valves with associated hardware for faster installation.

Valve Guides

Valve guides keep intake and exhaust valves aligned, reducing wear and ensuring smooth operation. Multiple sizes are available to match Series 60 specifications.

Valve Seat Inserts

Intake and exhaust valve seat inserts are engineered for durability, maintaining tight sealing surfaces under thousands of cycles.

Valve Locks

Half-lock assemblies secure the valve in place, completing the valve spring and retainer system.

Valve Stem Seals

New-style valve stem seals prevent oil leakage into the combustion chamber, improving efficiency and reducing emissions.

Valve Springs and Seats

High-tensile springs and precision-machined seats keep valves properly tensioned, ensuring consistent performance under high loads.

Rotocoils

Rotocoils improve valve longevity by evenly distributing wear and preventing hot spots on the valve face.

Rocker Arm and Injector Adjustments

Proper valve and injector adjustment is critical for engine performance and fuel efficiency.

• Rocker Arm Adjusting Screws are available for both intake and exhaust applications.

• Injector Adjusting Screws ensure precise fuel delivery timing and injection depth.

• Feeler Gauges ranging from .002" to .025" are available for accurate calibration of Series 60 valves during routine maintenance.

Fuel System Integration with Cylinder Head

The cylinder head supports Detroit Diesel’s Series 60 fuel injection system through injector tubes, which ensure proper fuel delivery into the combustion chamber. Injector tubes must be replaced if worn, cracked, or leaking to prevent fuel loss and misfires.

Exhaust System Sealing Components

Maintaining a leak-free exhaust path is critical for backpressure control and turbocharger efficiency. Diesel Pro Power carries:

• Head-to-Manifold Gaskets

• Exhaust Manifold Mount Gaskets

• Manifold Mounting Screws

These components ensure a proper seal between the head and exhaust system, reducing the risk of leaks and improving turbo performance.

Gauges for Cylinder Head and Engine Monitoring

In addition to physical cylinder head components, Diesel Pro Power provides mechanical and electrical gauges for Series 60 engines. Gauges are essential for monitoring temperature, oil pressure, and engine performance after a head rebuild or overhaul.

Options include:

• Mechanical gauges (standard and with alarms).

• Electrical gauges in both 12V and 24V configurations.
