Caterpillar 3406E, C15, And C15 Acert High Performance Stage Heads Explained!

Let's break down the differences between a regular cylinder head and a stage two cylinder head for Caterpillar 3406E, C15 or C15 Acert Engines.
Regular Cylinder Head: This is your standard, basic cylinder head. It doesn't have any special modifications or enhancements.
Stage Two Cylinder Head: This one is a bit more advanced. It comes with upgraded exhaust valves, which can improve performance and durability. The exhaust valves can handle heat better than standard valves
Stage Three Cylinder Head: This takes it a step further with both upgraded intake and exhaust valves. This can significantly boost engine performance and make the head last longer.
Stage Four Cylinder Head: This has all the features of a stage three but also includes a stainless steel fire ring. The high heat intake and exhaust valves really help with the life of the head. A fire ringed head is needed for ultra high compression engines. The fire ring pushes down into the gasket for a stronger seal against compression.
In summary, each stage adds more advanced features to improve performance and durability. Even hardcore OEM fans these days often admit that aftermarket heads are generally superior. They have better cooling channels, use more nickel in the casting, and are overall much better quality. Plus, they usually cost less than OEM remanufactured heads. So, I'd choose a new aftermarket head over an OEM remanufactured one any day.
