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.  Our 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. </p> <p>     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.  Kill Devil Diesel cylinder heads are 100% new so there is no core charge or return shipping to hassle with.  The heads come ready to install, with a 12-month replacement warranty against defects in quality and workmanship.</p> <div> <strong></strong><br> </div> <div> <strong><span face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"></span></strong><br> </div> <div></div>
