CYLINDER HEAD REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT SERVICE IN DUBAI
WHAT ARE CYLINDER HEADS?
Four-stroke small cylinder heads are commonly manufactured from cast iron. We Fix Car reconditioning process involves detailed inspection to address all essential areas for the cylinder head. Before any repair or service is carried out, we conduct a pressure test to identify any leakage in the engine. Typically, engines that we recondition are Wartsile, Sulzer, Daihatsu, Yanmar, MAK, MAN B&W, and SEMT Pielstick.
JOB OF CYLINDER HEAD IN THE ENGINE
Sealing Combustion
Manage and maintain cylinder head compression for effective combustion.
Heat Transfer
Helps to transfer heat from the combustion chamber to the air conditioning system.
Preventing Leaks
Stops engine oil from leaking or mixing into the combustion chambers.
COMMON REASONS FOR CYLINDER HEAD FAILURE
Common reasons for cylinder head failure include:
- Highly corroded exhaust valve pocket
- Misalignment of valve guides.
- Exhaust valve pocket leakage
- Ovality in the intel and exhaust pocket
- Cracks near the inlet & exhaust valve pockets.
SYMPTOMS OF BLOWN CYLINDER HEADS
- Bubbling in coolant or radiator reservoir
- Coolant in engine oil
- Poor engine performance
- Engine overheating
- White smoke from the exhaust system
- Loss of coolant with no visible leaks
THE CONDITIONING PROCESS OF CYLINDER HEADS INCLUDES:
- Pre-inspection
- Renewal or grinding of valve spindles or seat rings.
- Chemical cleaning to de-carbonize
- Assembly, final inspection, and pressure testing
- Machining of landing and combustion faces
CYLINDER HEAD EREPAIRS
Due to extensive corrosion on the exhaust side pocket, the cylinder head mat has to be machined out to the next available oversize. Moreover, the ovality of the exhaust valve pocket must be removed and identified. Since cylinder heads are made of welding, cast iron, should it be required, will be done by fusion welding. Over a few years, we have observed that the use of fusion welding for repairing cylinder heads has achieved better machining properties than those of parent materials.
