Manufactured from high‑strength aluminum alloy with a corrosion‑resistant finish, this cover delivers exceptional durability and thermal stability, even under the most extreme operating conditions. As a vital part of genuine Howo/Sitrak truck parts, the 612650040026 is engineered to exact OEM specifications, guaranteeing a perfect fit and long‑term performance in HOWO, Sitrak, and Shacman heavy‑duty diesel engines. Whether you are replacing a damaged cover during an overhaul or upgrading your engine’s top‑end sealing, this cylinder head cover delivers the strength, precision, and reliability required to maintain oil pressure, reduce noise, and extend engine life, minimizing downtime and operational costs.
The 612650040026 is not a simple stamped part; it is a precision‑cast aluminum component that combines structural rigidity with excellent heat dissipation. The casting is produced using a high‑pressure die‑casting process, ensuring consistent material density and dimensional accuracy. The cover features reinforced ribs and strategically placed bosses to increase strength and minimize vibration‑induced noise. The sealing surface is precision‑machined to provide a perfectly flat mating face for the gasket, ensuring a leak‑free seal. The cover also incorporates oil baffles and ventilation channels that separate oil mist from crankcase gases, reducing oil carryover and improving the efficiency of the PCV system.
The cover is finished with a durable powder‑coat or anodized layer that resists corrosion from oil, coolant, and salt spray. The bolt holes are precisely located and feature integrated steel inserts to prevent thread stripping, ensuring reliable clamping over many service cycles. Every 612650040026 is inspected for porosity, dimensional conformance, and surface finish, guaranteeing that it meets the strictest OEM quality standards. This attention to detail ensures that the cylinder head cover not only seals effectively but also contributes to the overall structural integrity of the engine top end.
Robust Casting – The high‑pressure die‑cast aluminum of the 612650040026 provides excellent strength‑to‑weight ratio, resisting warping and cracking under thermal cycling.
Corrosion Protection – The advanced coating ensures long‑term resistance to engine oil, coolant, and environmental moisture.
Precision Machining – The sealing face is machined to a high flatness, ensuring a perfect gasket seal and eliminating oil weepage.
Thermal Stability – The aluminum alloy maintains its dimensions across a wide temperature range, from cold starts to full operating heat.
The 612650040026 cylinder head cover is dimensionally identical to the original equipment cover used in HOWO, Sitrak, and Shacman heavy‑duty engines. It is specifically designed for the WP10, WP12, and WP13 engine families, as well as the WD615 series. The cover’s bolt pattern, profile, and height match the cylinder head exactly, ensuring a straightforward bolt‑on replacement with no modifications required. By choosing this genuine OEM part, you eliminate the risks associated with aftermarket covers that may have incorrect bolt hole spacing, poor material quality, or inadequate sealing surfaces, which can lead to oil leaks, excessive noise, or premature cover failure.
The 612650040026 has been validated through rigorous engine testing and field use, confirming its ability to maintain a leak‑free seal and structural integrity over hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Fleets that have switched to this cover report a notable reduction in oil consumption and noise levels. Its robust design ensures dependable service in the harshest operating conditions, from high‑temperature desert hauling to cold‑climate operation.
Correct installation of the 612650040026 is critical to achieving a leak‑free seal and avoiding damage to the cover or the gasket. Begin by thoroughly cleaning the cylinder head sealing surface and the cover’s mating face, removing all old gasket material, oil, and debris. Inspect both surfaces for any nicks, scratches, or warpage; if any defects are found, they must be repaired or the cover replaced. Install a new, high‑quality cylinder head cover gasket (such as the 612650040011) onto the head, ensuring it is correctly positioned over the alignment dowels.
Carefully place the 612650040026 cover over the gasket, aligning the bolt holes. Hand‑tighten all bolts, then torque them in a crisscross pattern to the manufacturer’s specified value (typically 8–10 Nm for M6 bolts). Do not over‑tighten, as this can distort the cover or extrude the gasket. After installation, run the engine and check for any oil leaks. Re‑torque after the first heat cycle if necessary. Regular inspection of the cover and its bolts during routine maintenance is recommended. With proper installation, this cylinder head cover will provide years of reliable, leak‑free service.
Each 612650040026 cylinder head cover is produced in an IATF 16949‑certified facility, adhering to the highest quality standards. The aluminum alloy is spectrographically analyzed to ensure proper composition. The casting process is closely monitored to eliminate porosity and inclusions. After casting, each cover undergoes a shot‑blasting and surface preparation process before machining. CNC machining ensures that all critical dimensions—including bolt hole centers, sealing face flatness, and overall height—are held to micron‑level tolerances.
A 100% dimensional inspection is performed, and random samples are subjected to pressure testing, thermal cycling, and accelerated corrosion testing. The covers are also visually inspected for any surface defects. This comprehensive quality regimen ensures that every 612650040026 delivers the same reliable performance as the original OEM component, giving you full confidence in your engine rebuild.
Engine rebuilders and fleet maintenance professionals choose the 612650040026 because it delivers consistent, reliable sealing and long‑term durability. The cover’s robust casting and precision machining eliminate the fitment issues common with aftermarket covers, saving time and ensuring a proper seal. Many workshops report a significant reduction in oil leak comebacks after switching to this genuine OEM cover, leading to higher customer satisfaction and lower warranty costs.
The 612650040026 is available with all necessary hardware and is packaged to protect the precision surfaces during shipping.
