What is the purpose of a cylinder head?

The cylinder head forms the top portion of the combustion chamber. It seals the cylinders, houses valves and ports, supports combustion, and facilitates cooling and airflow.

How do I choose the right cylinder heads for my engine?

Match by engine family, port type (rectangular, cathedral, etc.), valve layout (2-valve, 4-valve, etc.), and intended use (street, racing, forced induction). Ensure compatibility with your block, camshaft, intake manifold, and valvetrain.

Can I reuse the head gasket or old parts when updating cylinder heads?

It’s highly recommended to always use new head gaskets and proper fasteners when installing a new or remanufactured head. Reusing old components can compromise sealing, performance, and reliability.

What are signs that a cylinder head is damaged or failing?

Common symptoms include:

• Overheating
• Misfires or poor compression
• Coolant in oil or oil in coolant
• White exhaust smoke
• Leaking or cracked head
• Loss of power or rough running

How important is proper head bolt torque?

Very important. Correct torque ensures the head is clamped evenly and the head gasket seals properly under combustion pressure. Improper torque can lead to warping, leaks, or gasket failure.
