Description:

-----There is a 16-20 week lead time on all KDD heads. ------

KDD O-ring heads start off with a 100% brand new heavy duty casting made just for us, to our exacting specifications.  Several key design flaws with the factory cylinder heads - KDD castings incorporate a higher nickel content and thicker deck surface, for a more rigid casting, and hardened alloy valve seat inserts (to prevent cracking of the valve seats like the factory heads are notorious for).  Our 6.0 heads have more material around the injector bores, and reinforced injector bolt holes to eliminate cracking in the injector bore.  We receive our castings bare, then perform all finish machine work in house, including our proprietary O-ring design. 

     O-ringing the heads virtually eliminates the head gasket issues these engines were plagued with from the factory. A receiver groove is machined into the deck surface of the heads and our USA made stainless wire is pressed into the groove - the wire protrudes from the groove applying extra pressure to all layers of the MLS gaskets - sealing combustion pressure in the cylinder. The high carbon stainless wire we use won’t compress or deform over time and is reusable should you have the heads off of the engine for any reason in the future.  KDD O-ringed heads work with any standard “off the shelf” head gaskets, and don’t require any special machining of the block - just prep the deck surface ensuring the block is clean, dry, and flat. 

     The iron matrix valve guides are diamond honed to size leaving a smooth cross-hatch finish in the valve guide similar to the cylinder bore, which provides superior oiling and wear resistance in the demanding diesel application.  We then hand assemble the heads with our new USA made valves and springs to our proprietary blueprint-specifications, eliminating sloppy factory tolerances and correcting the poor valvetrain/lifter geometry.  We use a quality bonded style valve stem seal so they don’t blow the seals apart like the factory crimped seals do. No Core is required. The heads come ready to install, with a 12-month replacement warranty against defects in quality and workmanship.

**Heads DO NOT come with head gaskets.  We recommend OEM, Fel Pro, and Black Diamond. DO NOT USE BLACK ONYX**

**No core charge or return shipping as cylinder heads are 100% new**




-----There is a 12-18 week lead time on all KDD heads. ------

KC turbos

Alex talked extensively with me about my setup and the power goals I had in mind...he was not bothered at all by my many questions and was a wealth of information, I highly recommend KC turbos and will be doing as much business with them as I can for future builds.

Loving my purchase

Again, Charlie came through with great customer service, along with Jared. I love having the piece of mind of having these tough as nails heads on the top end of my engine. I'm just a furewood and 5th wheel hauling guy, but I don't expect any issues with the fun parts I got from, Charlie, Jared and Oliver! Keep up all of the fine craftsmanship you guys!

Charlie and KC Turbos is a class act

I have dealt with Charlie in the past for my stage II and was ecstatic then with the advice and customer service I received, but now needed MORE advice along with new heads, injectors and fuel system. I had to yank the engine out to accomplish it all and was confused on where to start for the right components I needed.

Charlie along with Jared (from Kill Diesel) spent ALOT of time answering every question I had, regardless of how elementary it was. Charlie steered me in the right direction regarding these heads and the other big engine items my build required; but didn't stop there. I must have exchanged 40 emails with him and he so graciously answered every one and most of them were advice on how to do this or that on my 6.0L rebuild and being the kind of guy Charlie is, he never hesitated to help me any way he could. Class act and great customer service Charlie, Keep it up!

Thank you
