This specific part is designed to fit Volvo FH12 models, including the FH 12/380, FH 12/500, FH 12/340, FH 12/420, and FH 12/460 variants. It ensures precise sealing and efficient airflow within the compressor architecture of these trucks.

Installation and maintenance guidance

When replacing a cylinder head, technicians should inspect the valve plates and gaskets for signs of wear. Ensuring a clean mounting surface is essential for maintaining optimal compression levels and preventing leaks in the pneumatic circuit. Consult your authorized distributor for fitment verification.

System reliability and selection

Proper maintenance of the cylinder head helps prevent pressure drops in the braking system. Regular checks of the unloader port and cooling channels are recommended to ensure long-term reliability during heavy-duty operations.
