The cylinder head is one of the basic parts of an internal combustion engine. The cylinder head closes the cylinder block from above, which is attached with screws.

In this article, we will shed light on the function of the cylinder head, what materials it is made of, and how it manifests itself if damaged.

A cracked cylinder head is a serious mechanical failure and is a fear for many drivers. But what can cause cylinder head cracking, and how does this problem manifest?

How to detect a cracked cylinder head very easily? We will answer all these questions in this article.

Valve timing is a mechanism using valves to control the flow of working gases (air, fuel, exhaust gases) through a piston combustion engine. This is the most common type of mechanical distribution, used mainly in four-stroke internal combustion engines.

The opening of the valves is controlled by the respective cam of the camshaft, which is driven by the crankshaft. In four-stroke engines, the camshaft rotates 2x slower than the crankshaft, because one working cycle of the engine takes two revolutions of the crankshaft.

Modifying the cylinder head is a popular but technically demanding way to increase engine performance. So in this article, we will look at the possible modifications of the cylinder head and its accessories.

This article is only informative about potential adjustments to the cylinder head and its accessories and does not serve as a guide.

A blown head gasket is a serious problem and is a fear for many drivers. But how do you discover that the head gasket has reached its end and needs to be replaced with a new one? We will clarify this in this article.

Despite the fact that the head gasket should last for the entire lifespan of the engine, the situation is a little different. The driving style in different engine modes and ignoring the malfunctions of certain components affect the lifespan of the head gasket.

A head gasket is critical in the internal combustion engine, sealing the juncture between the engine block and the cylinder head.

Its primary function is maintaining the separation of the combustion chamber, coolant, and engine oil and ensuring each operates optimally without contamination.
