1989-1998 5.9L Cummins 12 Valve Stage 1 Ported & Polished Cylinder Head with Fire Ring Grooves

The Industrial Injection Stage 1 Ported & Polished Cylinder Head with Fire Ring Grooves is engineered for 1989-1998 Dodge Ram 5.9L 12 Valve Cummins engines seeking improved airflow, enhanced durability, and superior head gasket sealing. Utilizing advanced CNC porting technology and precision hand-finishing, this cylinder head delivers increased airflow and performance while maintaining the reliability needed for daily driving, towing, and high-horsepower applications.

Each cylinder head is CNC ported and hand blended to ensure consistent airflow across every cylinder. The head is assembled with premium stainless steel nitride-coated valves, hardened alloy valve guides, top hat valve seals, and upgraded 150lb valve springs to provide exceptional durability and valve train control.

For added reliability, the cylinder head features drilled and tapped coolant freeze plugs, eliminating a common failure point found in factory cylinder heads. Radius-cut fire ring grooves are machined into the head to provide improved combustion sealing when used with a compatible fire ring head gasket, helping reduce the risk of head gasket failure under increased cylinder pressures.

The 7mm injector bore design offers compatibility with popular injector upgrades, making this cylinder head an ideal choice for street, towing, and performance-focused 12 Valve Cummins builds.
