Original is better
The engine cylinder head plays an important role in a motor vehicle: in fact, most of the activities that make the engine run have something to do with the cylinder head.
It is the seat for the valve train (intake and exhaust valves, cones, springs, rocker arms, tappets, camshaft...), spark plugs (for NG engines), injectors.
The cylinder head is responsible for the coolant getting to the engine block cooling the components of the engine. The head gasket prevents the leakage of water or oil inside the combustion chambers, and keeps these fluids separated.
Its structure is complex: it is made up of ducts (intake and exhaust) which allow the flow of air in the cylinder and the outflow of exhaust gases and coolant chambers to keep the temperature of all the parts within the given ranges.
Cylinder heads are made of aluminum alloy for light applications and cast iron for medium/heavy engines
Equipped Cylinder Head includes all the components necessary for assembly on the engine. This solution, compared to a bare cylinder head, allows you to save money on the cost of all the individual components on top of the bare cylinder head, and save up to one hour for assembly.
The equipped cylinder head comes complete with the following components:
- Bare cylinder head
- Injector holder cases
- Intake and exhaust valve guides
- Valve seats
- Bushings, caps and o-rings
- Intake and exhaust valves
- Springs
- Valve cones
- ASSEMBLY AS A SINGLE COMPONENT - The cylinder head is ready for assembly. Reduces risk of partial lack of availability when ordering every individual part. Reduces risk of assembly errors thanks to receiving the latest components direct from FPT manufacturing.
- SAVINGS OF TIME AND MONEY FOR CUSTOMERS - It saves time in the ordering process also eliminating the risk of errors.
One hour of vehicle downtime is saved by avoiding the assembly of all separate individual components.
The net price is reduced compared to the sum of the naked cylinder head plus all the individual components necessary for completion.
FPT Genuine Cylinder Heads have to withstand extremely high mechanical and thermal stresses due to the high pressures and temperatures produced in the combustion chamber; they are designed and validated to endure all potential operating conditions (and beyond) according to the application targets.
They have a core function of controlling air flow in and out of the cylinders and fuel distribution, as well as ensuring performance and emission targets.
The cylinder head is where many moving parts of the engine are located; they are designed by FPT to resist wear for every mission profile they have been developed for. The valve train must be finely calibrated to meet the needs of your FPT engine.
Only FPT Genuine Cylinder heads are designed, tested and calibrated by FPT for FPT engines to ensure maximum performance and the highest levels of quality in order to prevent engine failures in any operating condition.
FPT Genuine Cylinder Head can ensure:
- More longevity to your FPT engine
- Optimal performance
- Low consumption
- Low emission
The most common reason for cylinder head failure is overheating. An overheated engine can reach conditions far beyond these already extreme limits. Once a head cracks, coolant or oil can leak into the combustion chambers with catastrophic results, causing significant engine damage or even requiring a complete engine replacement.
To prevent this, always ensure proper maintenance by following a few tips:
- Check the thermostat and replace it with genuine parts when necessary to ensure the timely detection of any engine temperature issues.
- Inspect the distribution. Replacing them with fpt genuine parts keeps performance high, lowers fuel consumption, and prevents severe breakdowns to pistons and valves.
- Maintain the cooling system to prevent overheating, head gasket damages, and cylinder head cracks.
- Adjust the valves.
