Paccar Engine Cylinder Heads
Paccar engine cylinder heads contain critical combustion components including valves, injectors, and airflow passages that control intake and exhaust flow through the engine. These components play a major role in maintaining compression, efficient combustion, and overall engine reliability. At Advanced Truck Parts, we supply Paccar cylinder heads designed for dependable operation in heavy-duty diesel trucks.

Paccar Engine Cylinder Heads
The cylinder head forms the upper portion of the engine combustion chamber and works with the engine block, pistons, and valvetrain to regulate airflow, fuel injection, and exhaust gases. Proper cylinder head performance is essential for maintaining engine power, efficiency, and emissions compliance.
Paccar cylinder heads support several key engine functions:
- Air intake and exhaust flow management
- Fuel injector mounting and sealing
- Combustion chamber compression sealing
- Valve operation and timing control
- Cooling system circulation through internal passages
Because cylinder heads operate under extreme heat and pressure, strong casting construction and precise machining are required for long-term engine durability.
Common Paccar Engine Applications
Paccar cylinder heads are widely used across modern heavy-duty diesel engines installed in Kenworth and Peterbilt commercial trucks.
- Paccar MX-11 diesel engines
- Paccar MX-13 diesel engines
- Kenworth T680 and T880 trucks
- Peterbilt 579 and 567 truck platforms
Different engine generations and emissions configurations may require specific cylinder head castings, injector layouts, and valve designs, so confirming the correct part number is important before replacement.
Common Cylinder Head Failure Symptoms
- Loss of engine compression
- Coolant leaks or oil contamination
- White exhaust smoke
- Engine overheating
- Cracked cylinder head or warped sealing surfaces
Cylinder head damage may occur due to overheating, gasket failure, improper torque procedures during installation, or long-term thermal stress within the combustion chamber.
Verify Fitment Before You Buy
Cylinder heads vary depending on engine model, emissions configuration, and injector setup. To confirm compatibility before ordering, provide:
- Engine serial number
- Truck year / make / model
- Current cylinder head casting number
- Photos of the cylinder head if available
This information helps ensure the correct Paccar engine cylinder head is selected for your application.
