FAQs
FAQs
Q: Does this cylinder head come complete with valves and camshaft provisions?
A: Yes, this loaded cylinder head includes valves, springs, and camshaft mounting provisions.
Q: What's the difference between 11101-54131 and 11101-54130?
A: Part number 11101-54131 supersedes the earlier 11101-54130. The current part number represents updated manufacturing specifications while maintaining full compatibility with all 3L diesel applications from 1988-2015.
Q: Does the 3L engine have hydraulic lifters?
A: No, the 3L engine uses solid tappets with shim-adjusted valve clearances. This design requires periodic valve clearance adjustment approximately every 30,000 km to maintain proper valve timing and prevent premature wear.
Q: Is this compatible with turbocharged 3L engines?
A: The 3L is a naturally aspirated diesel engine. If you have a turbocharged application, you may need the 2L-TE or 2L-T cylinder head, which are different designs. Always verify your engine code before ordering.
