Cylinder Heads

Cylinder Head Catalogue for Heavy-Duty Vehicle Engines

In this section, we offer a technical selection of cylinder heads specifically designed for the engine block of industrial vehicles and heavy machinery. This component is a key part in ensuring the airtight sealing of the combustion chambers, allowing proper compression and the correct flow of intake and exhaust gases.

Our range is aimed at professional mechanical workshops and fleet managers seeking reliable spare parts for corrective maintenance or major repairs. Here you will find options compatible with various brands and models, facilitating the replacement of parts damaged by overheating or structural wear, helping to restore the vehicle’s operational efficiency.

How to choose the correct cylinder head

• Engine code: Verify that the replacement reference exactly matches the engine block code of your vehicle.
• OEM reference: Consult the manufacturer’s original part number to ensure absolute geometric and functional compatibility.
• Part configuration: Determine whether you need a bare cylinder head (metal casting only) or a complete cylinder head (including valves, springs and camshafts).
• Manufacturing material: Consider whether the engine requires an aluminum alloy for lower weight or cast iron for greater thermal resistance.
• Additional components: Check whether new head bolts or gasket sets are required to ensure airtight assembly during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What function does the cylinder head perform in the engine?

The cylinder head is the upper cover that seals the cylinders of the engine block. It houses vital components such as valves, injectors and, in many cases, the camshaft. Its integrity is essential for controlling combustion, lubrication and cooling in the upper part of the engine.

What is the difference between a bare and a complete cylinder head?

The bare cylinder head is supplied only as the cast and machined metal block, requiring the transfer or purchase of internal components. The complete version is delivered assembled with valves, springs and, depending on the model, seals, ready for direct installation, saving labor time.

How can I know if a cylinder head is compatible with my industrial vehicle?

The safest way to validate compatibility is through the vehicle’s chassis number (VIN) or by cross-referencing the OEM number of the old part. In each product’s technical sheet, we specify compatible applications and engine models to avoid errors.

What are the symptoms of a faulty cylinder head?

Failures usually manifest through engine overheating, the presence of oil in the expansion tank, excessive white smoke from the exhaust or power loss due to lack of compression. When these signs appear, it is necessary to check the flatness of the component and the sealing integrity of the gasket.
