I bought a 2007 379 with a C15 Acert. Looked to have a new head on it. Turns out its got a C-18 head on it which probably is why it runs like a dog on the top end. I'm guessing the head probably just has stiffer springs. I wondering if it needs to have a C18 cam or if a C15 cam will work. Also will the injectors work with that as well. I'm guessing it just needs some tuning to be getting enough fuel to run good. The injectors are 2490709. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

I'm curious how you determined it was a 18 liter head? Cause yeah I was pretty sure they were all the same too.
Doubt anything else is different either.Diesel Dave Thanks this. -

What difference would stiffer valve springs make? The cam pushes them open exactly the same regardless if they're 40 lb springs or 300 lb springs.
(I pulled those numbers out of my hat but you get the idea)Last Call and Diesel Dave Thank this.
