- Combustion Chamber Integrity: Each head is designed to seal the top of the cylinder block using a head gasket, effectively containing the immense pressure and heat generated during the diesel combustion process.
- Precision Airflow Regulation: The unit houses the intake and exhaust valves, which are responsible for the timed delivery of fresh air and the efficient expulsion of exhaust gases to maintain optimal engine breathing.
- Fully Loaded Valvetrain: This model comes pre-assembled with a complete valvetrain—including new valves, springs, seats, seals, retainers, and keepers—eliminating the need for tedious manual assembly and ensuring all components are perfectly matched.
- Enhanced Component Durability: To withstand heavy-duty diesel conditions, the assembly features black nitride-coated valves, which offer superior wear resistance and a significantly extended service life compared to standard components.
- Integrated Housing: Specifically designed for the LBZ architecture, it provides secure mounting points for fuel injectors and glow plugs, ensuring seamless integration with your existing fuel and ignition systems.
- Fluid and Thermal Management: Intricate internal passages are engineered for the precise circulation of engine oil for lubrication and coolant for temperature regulation, preventing catastrophic overheating.
- OEM-Quality Casting: Every DK-GMLBZ-CHL is manufactured from brand-new castings that meet or exceed original factory specifications, providing a more reliable alternative to refurbished or used parts.
- Please verify your engine model before purchasing. The 2006 GM Duramax Engine can be either a LLY or LBZ. This cylinder head WILL NOT work for LLY engine applications.
- GM Duramax LBZ – VIN Code ‘2’
- GM Duramax LBZ – VIN Code ‘D
- LBZ head casting number 476-1
The 2006–2007.5 GM Duramax 6.6L LBZ engine is renowned for its durability and power, yet its performance is fundamentally dependent on the integrity of the cylinder head. As a critical, sealed cover for the engine block, the cylinder head must withstand extreme thermal and mechanical stress while managing the complex exchange of gases. When an original unit suffers from damage or failure, the DK Engine Parts DK-GMLBZ-CHL serves as a precision-engineered, brand-new replacement designed to restore your engine to its peak operational state. This component is not merely a casting; it is a sophisticated assembly that regulates the combustion environment and ensures the longevity of your diesel powertrain.
