LB7 Duramax New Cylinder Head Complete with Valve Train – DK Engine DK-GMLB7-CHL (One Head)
Your 2001–2004 GM 6.6L Duramax LB7 is a proven workhorse, but the factory aluminum cylinder heads have a well-known weak point: they are prone to cracking around the injector cups, warping, and coolant leaks that lead to lost compression and expensive downtime.
This brand-new LB7 cylinder head from DK Engine Parts solves those problems at the source. It is built from a fresh casting and comes fully loaded with a complete valve train — giving you a strong, reliable foundation without the headaches of the original design.
This listing is for ONE complete cylinder head. The LB7 V8 engine requires two heads. Order two if you are replacing both sides or doing a full engine rebuild.
