13 36 11 Volvo and WABCO Compatible Cylinder Head

What does a cylinder head do?

This cylinder head serves as a critical component within the air brake compressor assembly, facilitating the compression process required for pneumatic braking. It is engineered to withstand the high-pressure pulses and thermal stresses encountered during continuous operation in heavy commercial vehicle braking systems.

Vehicle and engine compatibility

This component is compatible with Volvo trucks such as the FM, FH (FH4/FH5), VNL, B11R, B13R, FMX, and FH16 models, as well as Mack Anthem units. It is also fitted to Renault Trucks K, C, and T models with DTI11, DTI13, or DTI13 engines. This part is compatible with WABCO systems.

Installation and maintenance

For workshop technicians performing an overhaul, ensuring the cylinder head surface is clean and free of debris is essential for maintaining an airtight seal. When replacing this component, it is recommended to inspect all gaskets and seals to prevent air leaks and ensure optimal compression performance within the pneumatic circuit.

System performance guidance

Regular inspection of the compressor assembly can help identify early signs of wear, preventing sudden system failures in heavy-duty applications.
