GC46 2K893 AA Compressor Cylinder Head for Ford Trucks

What does a compressor cylinder head do?

This compressor cylinder head serves as the critical component that seals the top of the air brake compressor cylinder block. It provides the necessary seats for both the inlet and discharge valves, ensuring that compressed air is routed correctly through the discharge port without leakage. By managing internal pressure and facilitating heat dissipation, this part maintains the operational integrity of the entire pneumatic braking system.

Compatible vehicles and engines

This specific cylinder head is designed for use in Ford Trucks vehicles, specifically within the Cargo 4142 model series equipped with Ecotorq 12.7 (Euro 6) engines. It is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of heavy commercial vehicle applications, ensuring a precise fit for the specified engine architecture.

Installation and maintenance

For workshop technicians, this component allows for the efficient rebuilding of an existing compressor unit rather than requiring a complete replacement. When performing installation, ensure that all valve seats are inspected and that the mounting surfaces are clean to prevent pressure loss during high-load operation.

Selection guidance

Consult your authorized distributor to verify fitment and ensure correct application for your specific compressor model.
