Does this cylinder head come with all the necessary components for installation?

This Edelbrock cylinder head comes complete and ready to run straight out of the box. It is designed to be compatible with your stock Duramax valvetrain components, valve covers, water crossover, injectors, and plugs, simplifying the installation.

What makes the aluminum casting stronger?

The A356 aluminum casting undergoes a heat and pressure treatment process. This treatment reduces porosity within the material and increases its overall strength and fatigue properties, making it more durable.

Can this cylinder head be used for custom engine building?

Yes, engine builders will appreciate the extra deck and port wall material. This provides additional material for custom porting and deck modifications to further optimize performance.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your 2011-2016 LML Duramax diesel engine, especially if you're rebuilding the top end or aiming for improved performance and durability, this Edelbrock cylinder head is a solid option. It's designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, meaning it's made to fit right in place of your original equipment without needing major modifications.

This head is cast from A356 aluminum, which is then heat and pressure treated. This process helps reduce porosity and increases the material's strength and resistance to fatigue, making it a well-built component for demanding applications. Edelbrock designed the intake and exhaust runners to optimize airflow and swirl, but they also left extra material in the deck and port walls. This gives experienced engine builders more room for custom porting to really dial in performance. It's compatible with stock Duramax valvetrain components, valve covers, water crossover, injectors, and plugs, simplifying the installation process.

Being CARB legal, this cylinder head is a great choice for street performance upgrades on your Chevy or GMC Duramax diesel. It comes complete and ready to install right out of the box, saving you time and effort during your build.
