26 03 10 Detroit Diesel Compatible Compressor Cylinder Head

A compressor cylinder head is the cast service part that closes off the top of an air brake compressor's cylinder block and carries the seats for the inlet and discharge valves. It holds the piston's compressed air without leaking, routes it out through the discharge port, and carries away part of the compression heat from the body.

This component is specifically designed for use in heavy commercial vehicle pneumatic systems. It is compatible with Detroit Diesel Series 60 engines found in various models, including Freightliner Coronado, Cascadia, and Columbia, as well as Kenworth W900, T600, and T800. It is also fitted to Peterbilt 379, 378, International 9200, 9400, Sterling A9500, and Western Star 4900 series trucks.

When performing maintenance or repair on the air brake system, ensuring the cylinder head matches the original specifications is critical. Technicians should verify the bolt hole pattern and port dimensions to ensure a proper seal. This part allows for rebuilding a compressor in place rather than replacing the entire unit.

Consult your authorized distributor to check the compatibility list for your specific engine configuration.
