Cylinder Head

Cylinder Head

The cylinder head is mounted on top of your car’s engine block and contains the spark plugs, intake valves, and exhaust valves. The intake and exhaust valves control the fuel-air mixture that enters the engine and the resulting exhaust that is produced, while the spark plugs help provide the engine with the initial spark required to begin the internal combustion process when accelerating.

Signs of a bad cylinder head

• Engine overheats
