New Cylinder Head Group {1100}

Usage:

G3406 1RK
Engine:
G3406 (S/N: 4FD1-UP; 1RK1-UP; CTS1-UP)

Description of Change: A new taller cylinder head group is now in production on G3406 Engines. The new cylinder head is 12 mm (0.472 inch) taller than the former cylinder head. The new cylinder head improves the engines' overall reliability. The new cylinder head improves cooling of the exhaust valve guides. The cooler exhaust valve guides increase the heat dissipation from the exhaust valves. The new cylinder head has longer valve guides. The longer valve guides provide increased support for the valves. The new cylinder head has reduced overhang of the exhaust valve in the exhaust port. The reduced overhang improves the rigidity of the valve. The improved rigidity of the valve improves the ability to guide the valve as the valve is seated. The internal cooling passages of the cylinder head have been modified in order to improve the overall cooling of the components of the cylinder head.

Adaptable To: The increased height of the new cylinder head requires new valve guides and new valves. Refer to Table 1 for the new valve guides and new valves.

Conversion kits will be required to install the new cylinder head group. Conversion kits have been released. The conversion kits contain most of the parts and the conversion kits will include a cylinder head gasket kit in order to facilitate conversion from the original cylinder head to the new taller cylinder head. Refer to Tables 2, and 3.

( 1 ) Use this conversion kit in order to convert from a short cylinder head to a tall cylinder head.
If you are changing a tall cylinder head with a tall cylinder head, only the cylinder head gasket kit is required. Refer to Table 4.

Additional hardware is required in order to adapt the 4N-6006 Front Housing Fastener Gp for the taller cylinder head. Longer bolts and spacers are needed in order to retrofit the fastener group. Spacers are placed under the portion of plate (2) that extends over front housing (4). Longer bolts (3) are installed through the plate, and the spacers. The longer bolts are threaded into the front housing. Refer to Table 3 and refer to Figure 1.

A lower torque is used for the cylinder head bolts in order to reduce distortion of the cylinder head bottom deck. The Special Instruction, REHS1433 will explain the torque procedure for the new cylinder head group. This Special Instruction is included in the conversion kit.

The cylinder head is effective with the engines that are listed in Table 5.
