Detroit Diesel Series 60 14L Overhaul Kits

In-Frame Overhaul Kit with Articulated Pistons (16.5:1 Compression Ratio)

This rebuild kit includes articulated pistons with an aluminum skirt, offering a balance of lightweight construction and strength. The 16.5:1 compression ratio is designed for standard-duty operation, delivering fuel efficiency while maintaining strong torque.

• Applications: Long-haul trucking and industrial equipment.

• Benefits: Lower piston weight reduces stress on the crankshaft and bearings.

• Ideal for: Operators prioritizing fuel economy without sacrificing durability.

In-Frame Overhaul Kit with Steel Crown Pistons (16.1:1 Compression Ratio)

This version includes steel crown pistons with aluminum skirts, engineered for higher thermal resistance. The 16.1:1 compression ratio provides slightly reduced combustion pressures, which is beneficial in extended high-load conditions.

• Applications: Fleets operating in hotter climates or under heavy-duty cycles.

• Benefits: Enhanced durability against thermal cracking.

• Ideal for: Over-the-road and off-highway applications requiring resilience under load.

In-Frame Overhaul Kit with One-Piece Forged Steel Pistons (17:1 Compression Ratio)

For compliance with 2007 EPA emissions standards, this kit features one-piece forged steel pistons. The 17:1 compression ratio delivers increased power density and efficiency.

• Applications: Engines built or retrofitted to meet emissions standards.

• Benefits: Stronger piston design for extended service life.

• Ideal for: Fleets requiring maximum compliance and efficiency.

In-Frame Overhaul Kit with One-Piece Forged Pistons (16.75:1 Non-EGR)

This option features non-EGR pistons with a 16.75:1 compression ratio, designed for pre-emission engines. Operators who prefer simplicity and reduced maintenance can rely on this configuration.

• Applications: Pre-2007 engines without EGR systems.

• Benefits: Simplified design with fewer emissions components.

• Ideal for: Operators seeking straightforward performance with reduced maintenance costs.
