Discover our range of aircraft tugs engine cylinder heads
The cylinder head is the upper part of the aircraft tugs engine. It's located above the cylinders and is fitted on top of the cylinder block. This part houses many components such as the intake and exhaust valves, springs, lifters and the combustion chamber. The cylinder head is also responsible for channelling the coolant into the aircraft tugs engine block and cooling its components. This makes the cylinder head extremely important.
A damaged cylinder head can subsequently cause problems with many other components. If there are signs of damage or wear, it is advised to replace the head straight away. This will save costs and unwanted downtime of the aircraft tugs later on.
Diagnosing a engine cylinder head defect is quite easy. A engine cylinder head replacement is highly necessary when your aircraft tugs engine has one or more of the following symptoms:
- Overheating engine
- Decreased engine performance: loss of power and trouble starting
- Oil leaks
- Drop in coolant level
- White smoke coming from the exhaust
When it comes to cylinder heads there is no 'one size fits all' replacement. You will need the exact matching cylinder head depending on your aircraft tugs and engine type. If you decide to replace the engine cylinder head, we advise you to change all wear parts of the engine cylinder head as well. This ensures your engine will last longer, costs can be eliminated and downtime avoided.
