CYLINDER HEADS
“The cylinder head is the part that closes the top of the cylinders and groups together certain functions of a reciprocating piston engine.”
To ensure that the explosion is ignited in the cylinders, the cylinder heads are the key parts. We need intake and exhaust valves that will open and close millions of times over the life of your engine, so it’s vital to check the condition of these valves during an engine overhaul. Check Engine’s teams are at your service for these operations, which require a high level of expertise and state-of-the-art machinery.
TEST
Over time, some cylinder heads can become porous, disintegrate or even crack. In the event of deterioration, pieces could become detached and damage valves, or even turbos at the outlet of exhaust manifolds… On cracked cylinder heads, a water/oil mixture can occur, or even significant water consumption…. This is why pressurising the cylinder head in a bath will enable us to detect problems that are imperceptible to the naked eye, and this will be David’s job, assisted by his SERDI SPT1501.
