FAQ
What does “+.010 oversize” mean?The head gasket is thicker by +.010 in (0.25 mm) to compensate for material removed during decking or resurfacing. It is not a cylinder bore oversize.
Will this fit all 1989–1998 5.9L 12-valve trucks?
Yes, this upper set targets 1989–1998 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L 12-valve applications. Verify via ESN and confirm your required head-gasket thickness before ordering.
Are valve stem seals included?
Some kits include new-style “top-hat” valve stem seals. Certain 12-valve heads may require machining to use them; many builders opt for the correct old-style seals instead. Check your head style before installation.
How does this compare to the OEM Cummins kit?
Interstate-McBee builds to OEM-equivalent specs and is a cost-effective alternative. If you need OEM-boxed parts, Cummins 4089649 (STD), 4089650 (+.010), and 4089651 (+.020) are the factory options.
