The Ruich Value 110-5096 is a reinforced high-nickel alloy cylinder head for Caterpillar 3406C and 3406B direct injection engines. Featuring standardized square intake ports, it provides heavy-duty induction reliability for Peterbilt 379 and Kenworth W900L highway fleets. Factory direct pricing available.
The Caterpillar 3406C 14.6L diesel engine represents the pinnacle of Caterpillar’s mechanical direct injection technology, prized for its high-load endurance in heavy haulage. At the center of this engine’s top-end performance is the Caterpillar 3406C cylinder head (OEM 110-5096). Ruich Value supplies this precision-machined square port DI casting to uphold the rigorous QDR (Quality, Durability, and Reliability) standards required for long-haul operations. Utilizing advanced metallurgy, our heads restore factory-spec 14.5:1 compression and airflow dynamics for classic 3406B replacement head applications and early C15 6NZ bridge engines.
Structural failures in high-mileage 3406 engines often involve thermal cracking within the valve bridge area, leading to combustion gas leakage and persistent boost leaks. Our 110-5096 heads utilize a reinforced “Late Style” design with thickened deck surfaces to combat these failure modes. By addressing the square port vs round port manifold compatibility issues upfront, we ensure that technicians can confidently restore the induction integrity of their Peterbilt 379 cylinder head without the fitment complications typical of generic aftermarket castings.
Engine rebuilders operating in the global heavy equipment network require uncompromised metallurgical consistency. Every 110-5096 assembly, which cross-references to 176-9918 and 1W3356, is 100% water jacket pressure tested and vacuum-checked. Whether you are maintaining a Kenworth W900 engine head or overhauling an industrial generator set, our wholesale Caterpillar head inventory provides a factory-direct solution that eliminates dealer markups and ensures your 14.6L inline-6 diesel performs with its original peak torque output.

Identification is determined by the shape of the intake ports on the manifold side. The square port vs round port distinction is vital: the 110-5096 is a square intake port design found on later 3406B and most 3406C engines. Note that while the intake is square, the exhaust ports remain round. Attempting to use a round port intake gasket on this head will cause significant boost leaks. Always verify your intake manifold shape before installation.
Yes. Early Caterpillar C15 engines (specifically those with 6NZ or 2WS prefixes) often utilize a “bridge” head design that cross-references to the late 3406C 110-5096 unit. These blocks share the same 137mm bore and 12-valve OHV architecture. However, later C15 ACERT engines transitioned to a completely different 24-valve OHC head which is not interchangeable.
The most common symptom of thermal cracking in the valve bridge is the cooling system becoming pressurized with combustion gas, leading to radiator bubbles and coolant overflow. This often results in coolant flow overheating even with a new thermostat. Our 110-5096 head features upgraded casting thickness in these critical zones to definitively stop these chronic top-end failures.
