Cummins KTA19 QSK19 Diesel Intake Valve 3052820
The diesel intake valve is a precision-engineered poppet valve that controls the admission of fresh air into the combustion chamber during the intake stroke of the Cummins KTA19 and QSK19 series heavy-duty diesel engines. Part number 3052820 is the OEM Cummins intake valve specified for these 19-liter inline-6 powerplants, which are found in Komatsu, Caterpillar, Hitachi, and Liebherr heavy construction equipment, mining trucks, and large-capacity forklifts. A worn, tuliped, or bent intake valve causes incomplete cylinder filling, reduced volumetric efficiency, black exhaust smoke at full load, and eventual compression loss across affected cylinders.
Each valve is forged from premium high-temperature alloy steel with a precision-ground stem and a hardened seat face. The valve head is designed with an optimized tulip profile for maximum airflow during the intake stroke, improving volumetric efficiency and combustion quality. The stem is chrome-plated and micro-finished for smooth operation within the valve guide, while the stem tip is induction-hardened to resist wear from the rocker arm or crosshead contact. All critical dimensions — stem diameter, head diameter, overall length, and seat face angle — are held to Cummins OEM specifications with 100% inspection.
This intake valve is specified for the Cummins KTA19 (19-liter, mechanically governed) and QSK19 (19-liter, electronically controlled) diesel engines used in Komatsu HD785/HM400 dump trucks, Caterpillar 785 mining trucks, Hitachi EX1200/EX1900 excavators, and select large-capacity Toyota and TCM forklifts with KTA-series Cummins power. For engine overhaul and cylinder head reconditioning, replacing all intake valves as a complete set ensures balanced airflow and uniform combustion across all six cylinders. Installation requires cylinder head disassembly, valve guide inspection, and proper valve seat grinding or replacement.
