Dan Begel Read More As the Technical Sales Engineer for MAHLE, I am fortunate to work with many diesel engine businesses. When I had a dealership ruin my personal diesel engine, I had the truck shipped to Cass. I could not be more pleased with Choate Engineering. Cass is exceptionally knowledgeable on diesel engines including theories of operation and choosing correct parts for the engine’s planned usage. He is extremely professional and helpful to answer all my questions. Cass is an honest man with high integrity. I highly recommend Choate Engineering.

Workhorse Diesel Cylinder Heads: Muscle for the Tough Jobs

The Workhorse model is for those who demand more from their engine. Whether you’re towing, hauling, or just want that extra bit of power, the Workhorse delivers where it counts.

  • Durable and Dependable: With surfaces re-engineered to surpass OEM standards, the Workhorse is crafted to dominate tough jobs without flinching. It's built to take on the intense demands of heavy-duty work, like the infamous 6.0 Powerstroke cylinder heads and their notorious blown head gaskets. We understand the struggle, and we've designed these heads to keep you ahead of the game.
  • O-Ringed for Enhanced Sealing: This model features O-rings machined into the deck surface, giving you the extra sealing strength you need to keep head gasket issues at bay.
  • What's inside: The Workhorse is outfitted with components specific to your Powerstroke, Cummins, or Duramax engine. These may include new oversized valve seats, valve guides, valve stem seals, injector cups, blow-proof plugs, valves, and keepers. It’s important to note that the exact components vary by engine type—each cylinder head is customized to fit the needs of your specific platform, whether it’s a 6.7 Powerstroke cylinder head, 6.7 Cummins cylinder head, or Duramax cylinder head.
  • Thorough Cleaning and Machining: Just like its name suggests, the Workhorse is built to work hard, with every head undergoing a rigorous cleaning, machining, and inspection process.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
