Detroit Diesel 16V92 Turbo – Cylinder Head Components Catalog

The Detroit Diesel 16V92 Turbo is one of the most powerful and respected engines in the Series 92 family. Built with a 16-cylinder, V-configuration, two-stroke turbocharged design, it has powered tugboats, offshore vessels, heavy-duty equipment, and standby power generators across the globe. The heart of its performance lies in the cylinder head assembly—a critical component that controls air, fuel, and exhaust flow while withstanding intense heat and pressure.

At Diesel Pro Power, we supply a complete range of new cylinder heads and related components designed to keep your 16V92 Turbo performing at peak levels. Every item is manufactured to OEM standards, stocked for fast global shipping, and backed by the trust of over 40,000 satisfied customers worldwide.

Complete Cylinder Head Solutions for 16V92 Turbo

Bare Cylinder Head

A bare cylinder head provides the essential casting without valves, springs, or seats installed. This option is ideal for rebuild specialists who prefer to install or reuse their own components. Bare heads are precision-machined to OEM specifications, ensuring proper fit and sealing.

Key advantages:

• Cost-effective foundation for a full rebuild.

• Compatible with Detroit Diesel 16V92 Turbo engines.

• Manufactured with robust metallurgy to handle turbocharged pressures.

Cylinder Head with Valves & Springs

For operators seeking reduced downtime, Diesel Pro offers cylinder heads that come preassembled with valves and springs. Each head is factory-built to provide correct valve seating and spring pressure, minimizing installation errors.

Benefits:

• Ready-to-install, saving time on rebuilds.

• Ensures consistent combustion across all cylinders.

• Balanced valve spring pressures for reliable performance under turbo boost.

Fully Assembled Cylinder Head (All Components)

The complete cylinder head assembly includes all internal parts—valves, springs, seats, guides, and retainers—making it the simplest solution for quick replacement. Designed for heavy-duty applications, these heads are the most efficient way to restore your 16V92 Turbo engine to factory condition.

Why choose a complete head?

• Eliminates the need for additional machine work.

• Reduces labor time and vessel downtime.

• Provides OEM-level assurance of reliability.

Cylinder Head Gasket Kits for 16V92 Turbo

The gasket set is critical for maintaining compression and preventing coolant or oil leaks. For a full 16V92 engine rebuild:

• Four gasket kits are required.

Each kit includes all necessary gaskets and seals for one cylinder head. Built from high-temperature, high-pressure materials, these kits ensure long-term sealing even under the extreme demands of turbocharged operation.

Valve Train Components for the 16V92 Turbo

Exhaust Valves

Designed to handle extreme combustion temperatures, Detroit Diesel exhaust valves maintain durability and efficiency in turbocharged two-stroke operation.

Valve Seals

High-quality valve seals prevent oil from leaking into the combustion chamber, protecting against blue smoke emissions and maintaining efficient compression. Four seals are needed per cylinder.

Valve Guides

OEM-grade valve guides ensure precise alignment of the valve stem, reducing wear and maintaining smooth operation of the valve train.

Valve Springs

Valve springs are engineered to maintain exact pressure, keeping valves seated firmly under boost pressure and preventing valve float at higher RPMs.

Valve Seats & Inserts

Hardened valve seat inserts provide a durable contact surface, protecting the head casting while ensuring a tight seal for proper combustion.

Valve Bridges

The 16V92 uses valve bridges to ensure even actuation of paired valves. High-strength bridges are essential to keep turbocharged engines balanced and efficient.

Supporting Cylinder Head Hardware

• Valve Caps & Retainers – Provide stability and secure fitment for valve springs.

• Valve Spring Washers – Protect the cylinder head from wear under spring compression.

• Head-to-Manifold Gaskets – Ensure a tight seal between the cylinder head and exhaust manifold, crucial for maintaining turbo pressure.

Why Cylinder Head Maintenance Matters for 16V92 Turbo Engines

A Detroit Diesel 16V92 Turbo operates under higher stress levels than naturally aspirated models, making proper cylinder head maintenance critical. Issues such as valve wear, head warping, or gasket failure can lead to:

• Power loss and uneven cylinder performance.

• Increased fuel consumption.

• Exhaust leaks reducing turbo efficiency.

• Risk of coolant or oil mixing with combustion gases.

By replacing heads and components with Diesel Pro Power’s OEM-grade parts, operators extend engine life, maintain reliability in continuous-duty applications, and reduce costly downtime.
