Cylinder Head Washer
Detroit Diesel

Cylinder head washers are vital for ensuring the secure and proper sealing of the cylinder head to the engine block. With a thickness of 0.12 inches, these steel washers help distribute clamping force evenly, reducing the risk of warping or cracking under high compression loads. Their specific dimensions, with an inner diameter of 0.59 inches and an outer diameter of 1 inch, are designed to fit precisely within the engine assembly, maintaining correct gasket compression and preventing leaks. Using high-quality washers during assembly or repair ensures engine integrity and longevity, especially under heavy-duty conditions where thermal expansion and mechanical stresses are significant. Correct installation of these washers contributes to stable engine operation, consistent compression, and reduced maintenance costs. Source One Parts Center offers these washers as part of their comprehensive catalog for engine rebuild projects.
