Major Engine Repair: Detroit Series 60 Cylinder Head Replacement

When it comes to proven heavy-duty diesel engines, the Detroit Diesel Series 60 has earned its reputation—but even the most dependable engines eventually require major repairs. This truck came into Lexington Diesel needing a complete cylinder head replacement, giving our team the opportunity to bring the engine back to proper operating condition.

Our technicians disassembled the upper portion of the engine, removed the existing cylinder head, and carefully inspected the exposed engine components before moving forward with installation. With a repair this extensive, attention to detail is critical. The replacement cylinder head was installed following the proper procedures and specifications, along with the necessary gaskets, seals, and related components.

Once the engine was reassembled, our team completed the required adjustments, checked fluid levels and connections, and thoroughly tested the engine to verify proper operation. Final checks were performed to ensure the repair was complete and the truck was ready to return to service.

Jobs like this demonstrate the level of in-depth engine repair Lexington Diesel is equipped to handle. From diagnosing internal engine problems to cylinder heads, valve train repairs, in-frame work, and complete engine replacements, our goal is to provide customers with a solution they can depend on.

Keeping an older truck working doesn't always mean replacing it. Sometimes, the right repair can give a proven engine many more miles on the road.
