Replace a Spare part Cylinder head – a defective one or if the limit of use has been already reached. Find out useful information about Cylinder head
The cylinder head forms enclosed combustion chambers and allows exhaust gases to escape. It is located in the upper part of the engine and houses valves, camshafts, inlet and exhaust manifolds, sensors, injectors and other components.
5 tips on how to use and replace it
It is recommended to install a new part if the old one is greatly damaged or when the engine is overhauled. Its service life isn’t limited.
It is important to avoid engine overheating. This can lead to the premature wear of the part.
If the engine is overheated, pour water on it by no means: because of sudden temperature change, the cylinder head can crack.
Use a new gasket any time you dismantle and install the part in order to replace valves or remove deposits, for instance.
It is recommended to check how flat is the surface that contacts the main part of the power unit before you install the part. The allowable amount of deflection, as a rule, is specified by the manufacturer in the vehicle manual. A slight unevenness can be eliminated by cutting or polishing if it is allowable.
Malfunctions of a cylinder head, their causes and symptoms
Cracks. They can result from long continuous work of the power unit or its overheating. They can also appear because incorrect tightening torque was applied to the fasteners. The indirect indicator of this defect is thick white steam coming out of the exhaust pipe. It’s caused by the coolant getting into the combustion chamber through the crack.
Deformation. It appears, in particular, because low-quality antifreeze is being used, which leads to cooling system failures. This results in the reduction of the working fluid level and engine overheating. The corresponding warning lights on the instrument panel notify you about these malfunctions.
