What Is a Cylinder Head?
The cylinder head sits atop the engine block to seal the combustion chamber. This part houses the engine components that manage air intake and exhaust gases.
Core functions of these engine parts include:
- Sealing combustion gases to maintain the compression ratio.
- Supporting intake and exhaust valves for airflow.
- Housing fuel injectors for precise fuel delivery.
- Managing coolant flow to prevent the engine from overheating.
- Protecting the head gasket to ensure a tight seal.
A faulty cylinder head reduces horsepower. It also increases fuel use and negatively impacts your income statement.
When Should You Replace a Volvo Cylinder Head?
A faulty cylinder head is a liability for any fleet. You should consider cylinder head replacement if:
- The engine overheats frequently due to cooling failure.
- Coolant leaks enter the combustion chambers.
- Cylinder head gaskets show signs of failure or "blowing."
- The compression ratio drops, causing sluggish hydraulics.
- Repair costs exceed a cost-effective replacement option.
Replacing the component restores balanced combustion. It also prevents additional internal engine damage.
