Product Introduction: Cylinder Heads for Caterpillar C4.2 Diesel Engine
Overview
The cylinder head for the Caterpillar C4.2 diesel engine is a critical component responsible for sealing the combustion chamber, housing the valves, and facilitating efficient airflow and fuel combustion. This part ensures optimal engine performance and reliability in compact, high-performance applications such as excavators, wheel loaders, and other small off-road equipment. Available as new aftermarket, remanufactured, or genuine OEM parts, cylinder heads for the C4.2 provide robust solutions for engine maintenance.
Key Features
- Material: Constructed from high-grade cast iron or aluminum alloy, designed to withstand high temperatures, pressures, and mechanical stresses in the C4.2 engine. Features precision-machined surfaces for optimal sealing, heat dissipation, and durability.
- Design: Engineered to OEM specifications for precise fitment and performance. Includes valve seats, guides, and ports optimized for efficient combustion and exhaust flow. Typically delivered as a loaded assembly with pre-installed valves, springs, premium valve stem seals, retainers, injector cups, and cam bearings. Features cooling passages to manage engine temperature effectively.
- Compatibility: Compatible with Caterpillar C4.2 diesel engines, used in:
- Excavators: 314E, 314F, 315F, 316E, 316F, 318E, 318F, 320E, 320F.
- Wheel Loaders: 910K, 910M, 914K, 914M, 918M.
- Compactors: CB44B, CB54B, CS44, CP44.
- Other Equipment: Asphalt pavers (AP-300D, AP-600D), telehandlers (TH336C, TH406C), and industrial applications (e.g., construction, agriculture).
- Engines: C4.2 (4.2L, inline 4-cylinder, 16-valve configuration), with specific serial numbers (e.g., C4M, G4D). Exact compatibility must be verified using the engine’s serial number via CAT SIS, as per Caterpillar’s policy.
- Cross-References: Common part numbers for C4.2 cylinder heads include 2454324, 297-7644, 310-9634, and 310-9635. The part number 2454324 is frequently cited for C4.2 and C6.4 engines, with interchangeable designs for specific configurations.
- Dimensions: Specific dimensions are not publicly detailed but conform to OEM standards for C4.2 engines. Typical loaded cylinder heads for C4.2 engines weigh approximately 150-200 lbs (68-91 kg), lighter than larger C7.1 or C9 heads, due to the compact 4-cylinder design.
- Quality Assurance: Manufactured or remanufactured in ISO 9001 or TS16949-certified facilities, meeting or exceeding Caterpillar OEM specifications. Subject to rigorous inspection, including pressure and vacuum testing, magnaflux testing, and surface grinding for flatness. Backed by a 12-month warranty for OEM parts (with labor coverage if installed by a Cat dealer) or a 1-year warranty for aftermarket parts.
Benefits
- Enhanced Durability: High-grade cast iron or aluminum alloy construction ensures resistance to thermal stress, warping, and wear, extending service life in compact construction and agricultural applications.
- Reliable Performance: Optimizes combustion efficiency, airflow, and valve operation, maintaining the C4.2 engine’s power output (up to 118 hp for industrial applications) and fuel economy, critical for smaller equipment.
- Cost-Effective: Offers high-quality aftermarket or remanufactured options, reducing maintenance costs compared to replacing entire engine assemblies. No core charge typically required for new parts, though remanufactured parts may involve a core deposit.
- Ease of Installation: Engineered as a direct-fit replacement, with loaded assemblies including pre-installed components to simplify installation, minimizing downtime. Professional installation by ASE-certified technicians is recommended due to precise torque requirements.
Applications
The Cylinder Head for Caterpillar C4.2 diesel engines is suited for:
- Excavators: 314E, 316F, 320F, for compact excavation tasks.
- Wheel Loaders: 910M, 914M, 918M, for material handling in tight spaces.
- Compactors: CB44B, CS44, for road construction and compaction.
- Other Equipment: Asphalt pavers (AP-600D), telehandlers (TH336C), and industrial applications in construction, agriculture, and landscaping.
- Industries: Construction, agriculture, landscaping, and paving, where C4.2 engines are deployed for compact, high-efficiency tasks.
