GM 6.5L Diesel Straight Cylinder Head

The ProMaxx Performance "GM 6.5 DSL STRAIGHT NEW FULL" cylinder head (Part Number: CHE855N) is engineered as a direct replacement for your GM 6.5L diesel engine. Constructed from cast iron, this cylinder head utilizes a new casting with improved material thickness in areas prone to cracking, enhancing durability. It comes fully assembled with valves, valve seals, springs, retainers, and locks, ready for installation without the hassle of a core charge. This head features straight intake bolt holes and is typically found in GM 6.5 Diesel trucks. The product is sold individually. A note from the manufacturer indicates that standard heads typically use a 1-piece intake; customers are advised to confirm their vehicle's existing setup before ordering. While some sources indicate fitment for 1992-2002 GM 6.5L Diesel engines, one review specifically notes that this part will not fit a '98 Chevy K2500 Silverado, despite other information suggesting fitment for 1992-1998 Chevy K2500 Silverado models. Extreme caution is advised when verifying fitment for specific model years, especially around the 1998 model year. It is also important to note that some listings may inaccurately associate this head with Ford 6.0L Powerstroke applications; this part is exclusively for GM 6.5L Diesel engines.
