Cylinder head

Engineers carefully install a crucial component called the cylinder head. This vital part plays a key role in every internal combustion engine. The cylinder head serves as a sealant and a housing unit for valves that control airflow into the engine's cylinders, where fuel is ignited to produce power. Typically made from durable materials like aluminum or cast iron, the cylinder head is designed to withstand high temperatures and pressures within the engine. Its primary function is to ensure efficient combustion by precisely regulating air and fuel intake, as well as exhaust gases that are expelled after burning. In modern engines, the cylinder head often features advanced technologies such as multi-valve systems and turbocharging to enhance performance and reduce emissions.
