Features:
When you start pushing serious power through your 6.7L Cummins, the stock cylinder head can quickly become a weak link. Factory heads weren’t designed to handle extreme boost pressures or high-performance builds, and that’s where failures start to happen. Whether it’s blown head gaskets, valve float, or airflow restrictions, these issues can rob power and lead to costly repairs. The BD Diesel Stage 1 Performance Cylinder Head with Fire Rings is built to fix those weak points, giving you the strength and durability needed for high-horsepower applications. One of the biggest upgrades this head offers is its fire ring system. In high-boost or high-compression builds, standard head gaskets can struggle to maintain a tight seal, especially under extreme cylinder pressures. Fire rings solve this problem by reinforcing the combustion chamber seal, helping to prevent head gasket blowouts. If you're running aggressive tuning, larger injectors, or a bigger turbo, this added protection is essential for long-term reliability.
To further improve durability, BD Diesel equips this head with hardened valve seats and upgraded valve springs. The factory valve seats have a reputation for loosening over time, especially when exposed to extreme heat cycles. This head eliminates that concern with heat-resistant, oversized valve seats designed to stay secure under stress. The upgraded valve springs are just as important. They prevent valve float at higher RPMs, ensuring consistent power delivery when you're pushing the truck hard. Performance is just as much about airflow as it is about durability. This cylinder head is CNC-ported to increase intake and exhaust flow, allowing the engine to breathe more efficiently. Better airflow translates to improved throttle response, reduced turbo lag, and lower exhaust gas temperatures. Whether you’re towing heavy loads or chasing big horsepower numbers, this head helps your Cummins run cooler and more efficiently. Despite the heavy-duty upgrades, installation remains straightforward. This head is a direct bolt-on replacement for 2007.5-2018 6.7L Cummins engines, meaning no custom fabrication or modifications are required.
