When you’re dealing with overheating damage, blown head gaskets, or valve problems, there’s no getting around it—you need a new cylinder head. But here’s the thing: getting valve work done right takes time and costs serious money. This complete head assembly comes with all the valves professionally installed and seated, so you can skip the machine shop delays and get your tractor back to work.
What You’re Getting
- Complete cylinder head with intake and exhaust valves already installed
- Valves professionally seated for proper compression from day one
- Ready-to-install assembly saves you machine shop time and expense
- Heavy-duty casting designed for the demands of farm work
- Precision-machined surfaces for reliable sealing
Built for Real Farm Work
These Perkins engines are workhorses that power everything from utility tractors to industrial equipment. Whether you’re running a Massey Ferguson 390 through harvest season or operating loader tractors that see daily use, these 4-cylinder diesel engines are known for their reliability. When they do need head work, it’s usually from years of hard service—exactly what you’d expect from a farm engine.
Made to Last
This isn’t a rebuilt head with questionable history—it’s a complete assembly built to handle the heat and pressure of diesel operation. The casting is designed for the thermal cycling that comes with farm work, from cold morning starts to long days under load. Quality valve work means you’ll get proper compression and performance for years to come.
Installation Notes
At over 30 kilograms, this head requires freight delivery and proper lifting equipment for installation. Before you bolt it on, have your block deck checked for flatness—a warped block will ruin a new head. Make sure you address whatever caused the original failure, usually cooling system problems. Use the correct head gasket for your specific engine and follow proper torque specs.
