INDUSTRIAL INJECTION PDM-12VRH DODGE RACE HEAD FOR 89-98 5.9: CUMMINS

The Industrial Injection 5.9L 24v Cummins Race Heads are designed for the racer / sled puller in mind. Fully CNC ported heads complete and ready to bolt on.

Features:

• CNC Ported Cylinder Head: (Milled off intake runner to accept ZZ Fab intake) sold separately

The porting process preformed uses a new 5 Axis CNC Cylinder Head Porting Machine with CAD/CAM software specifically designed for cylinder head porting. CNC porting brings unparalleled accuracy to head porting with each port flowing the same.

This helps balance the power that each cylinder produces, making tuning easier. After the CNC process we then hand blend each port to perfection.

New Performance Stainless Steel Valves:

We use the highest quality upgraded stainless steel valves with a nitrate coating for ultimate durability to out-perform and outlast any aftermarket or OE valves available.

High Strength Alloy Valve Guides:

New High Strength Alloy, Heat Treated iron based valve guides are installed. These guides are heat treated to Rockwell 22 Scale, which produces the ultimate in wear resistance. This is far superior to original guide material, including Bronze. The guide incorporates a spiral grove inside the guide to hold oil and aid the lubrication of the valve during engine operation.

Performance High Temp Valve Seats:

Premium valve seat inserts made from a true Nickel Based Non-Magnetic material that was developed for extreme operating conditions. These performance valve seats immensely reduce the possibility or dropping a valve seat.

Drilled and Tapped Coolant Freeze Plugs In Head:

The factory head has press in freeze plugs that are prone to leaking and blowing out under the valve cover. This process eliminates the failure from ever happening to you with our cylinder heads. We use high quality steel plugs where others use aluminum that are prone to leak.

Fire Ringed Head:

The fire ringed head procedure was designed to use with our custom fire ring head gasket which utilizes a radius cut steel fire ring to virtually eliminate head gasket failures.

Valve Springs:

We use the highest quality brand new performance 120lb valves springs custom made right here in the USA. We designed these springs to offer more lift than the competition. Each valve spring is tested multiple times in house before assembly to ensure it maintains it proper spring rate.

The Build Process:

Heads are first jet washed in a high pressure spray cabinet to remove oil and dirt, then glass beaded to remove carbon. Next they are checked by magnafluxing, (cast iron only) or pressure testing. They are visually inspected for defects that would make them unusable. Valve guides and seats are removed as needed for porting.

Port development is accomplished using a superflow 600 flow bench with a computer recording all flow measurements.
Many things are considered when designing a cylinder head Port; air flow is only one of the things to think about. Another major concern is port wall thickness.

Anyone can get a head to produce high flow numbers, but if doing so leaves the port wall to thin the casting will crack. High performance Diesel heads are more prone to crack because of the thermal shock experienced by excessive intermittent or long term exhaust temperatures.

The porting is then preformed using a new 5 Axis CNC Cylinder Head Porting Machine with CAD/CAM software specifically designed for cylinder head porting. CNC porting brings unparalleled accuracy to head porting with each port flowing the same. This helps balance the power that each cylinder produces, making tuning easier.

New High Strength Alloy, Heat Treated iron based valve guides are installed. These guides are heat treated to Rockwell 22 Scale, which produces the ultimate in wear resistance. This is far superior to original guide material, including Bronze. The guide incorporates a spiral grove inside the guide to hold oil and aid the lubrication of the valve during engine operation.

Guides are then honed (not reamed) to exact size using a diamond honing mandrel. Diamond abrasives allow for consistency of size, surface finish, and bore geometry with no variation from guide to guide. The guide size is then verified using a valve guide bore gauge.

As needed the head receives new Premium valve seat inserts made from a true Nickel Based Non-Magnetic material that was developed for extreme operating conditions.

Next the head is treated to a multi angle valve job to help maximize the flow of air in and out of the head. This is accomplished using a Serdi 100 guide and seat machine.

Serdi uses a solid carbide straight shank pilot. When inserted into the valve guide, it simulates the real valve stem during the centering process. This guarantees the valve seat is finished for a perfect valve to seat match.

Using CBN or Diamond tooling the head is given a new surface. With our berco milling machine we can control the surface finish to accommodate different head gasket types. For example MLS head gaskets require a very smooth surface finish.

Finally the head is jet washed dried and assembled with new valve seals and new performance valve springs.

The INDUSTRIAL INJECTION PDM-12VRH DODGE RACE HEAD is engineered specifically for the serious racer or sled puller targeting peak performance in the 89-98 5.9L Cummins engine. This fully CNC ported cylinder head comes pre-assembled, making it a direct bolt-on solution for enthusiasts looking to maximize power and efficiency.

A standout feature of the PDM-12VRH head is its CNC porting process, utilizing an advanced 5 Axis CNC Cylinder Head Porting Machine paired with specialized CAD/CAM software. This technology ensures each port is identical, promoting balanced power output across all cylinders and simplifying the tuning process. To further enhance performance, each port undergoes meticulous hand blending after the CNC process.

The head is equipped with high-performance stainless steel valves treated with a durable nitrate coating, offering unmatched longevity and resistance to wear. Complementing these are high-strength, heat-treated alloy valve guides designed to hold oil efficiently, thus optimizing lubrication during operation.

For extreme conditions, premium valve seat inserts crafted from nickel-based non-magnetic materials significantly diminish the risk of valve seat failure. The incorporation of drilled and tapped coolant freeze plugs, made from high-quality steel, replaces the prone-to-leak factory designs, ensuring durability.

Additionally, the fire ringed design, when paired with a custom head gasket featuring a radius cut steel fire ring, drastically reduces head gasket failures commonly seen in high-performance setups. The assembly is finalized with rigorously tested 120lb performance valve springs, guaranteeing enhanced lift and reliability.

Each step is carefully monitored, from jet washing to inspecting for defects. The head undergoes a rigorous port development and multi-angle valve job process to maximize airflow, making the INDUSTRIAL INJECTION PDM-12VRH DODGE RACE HEAD an indispensable upgrade for any serious Cummins enthusiast. Prepare to unleash your engine’s full potential with this meticulously crafted race head.
