Cylinder Heads – The Heart of Your Engine’s Performance

A cylinder head is one of the most crucial components of any internal combustion engine. It sits atop the engine block, sealing the combustion chamber and managing the flow of air, fuel, and exhaust gases through its valves. At our store, you’ll find both original and used cylinder heads for a wide selection of car makes and models – from passenger vehicles to vans and trucks. We ensure that each cylinder head, whether new or refurbished, meets the highest standards for quality and performance, tested for leaks and cracks and ready for installation.

What are the symptoms of a failing cylinder head?

Common signs of cylinder head failure include loss of engine power, excessive oil consumption, white smoke from the exhaust, engine overheating, and the presence of coolant in oil or vice versa (often "milky" oil). You might also notice engine misfires, difficult starting, irregular operation, loss of compression, and oil leaks. Prompt identification and repair of these symptoms can prevent further, more costly engine damage.

Why is cylinder head quality important?

A high-quality cylinder head ensures the longevity and reliability of your engine. Damage to the cylinder head can cause severe issues across the powertrain, including piston, camshaft, or head gasket failure. That's why it’s essential to choose tested, warrantied cylinder heads from trusted sources. We offer parts from reputable manufacturers and a wide array of models to suit your car’s exact needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cylinder Heads

What causes cylinder head damage?
Most often, cylinder head damage is due to engine overheating, excessive pressure in the cooling system, improper installation, low-quality fuel, or inadequate lubrication. Mechanical failures (like cracks or burnt valve seats) occur, especially in high-mileage engines or after cooling system malfunctions.

Should I choose a new or refurbished cylinder head?
Refurbished cylinder heads are an excellent balance between quality and price. Professionally reconditioned heads often match the performance of new parts at a fraction of the cost. All our parts come with a warranty and compatibility check service.

How do I find the right cylinder head for my vehicle?
You'll need your vehicle’s make, model, year, and engine size to select the right cylinder head. Our team can help match the correct part and answer any technical questions.
