Cylinder heads

What is the function of a cylinder head?

A cylinder head is an essential part of the combustion engine of your scooter or moped. It sits on top of the cylinder and closes it off, while also providing space for the intake and exhaust valves, spark plug and any camshaft. The main function of the cylinder head is to close the combustion chambers and provide a good seal, allowing the compression of the fuel-air mixture to take place and optimizing combustion.

Sealing and compression

The cylinder head ensures precise sealing of the combustion chambers, which is essential for optimal compression of the fuel-air mixture. This contributes to efficient combustion and maximum power development of the engine.

Cooling and heat dissipation

In addition to sealing the combustion chambers, the cylinder head also acts as part of the engine's cooling system. It helps remove heat from the combustion chambers, keeping the engine at the correct temperature and preventing overheating.

How do you know if your cylinder is broken?

Recognizing a broken cylinder can cause various symptoms. Here are some signs that something may be wrong with your cylinder:

Coolant leakage

If you notice coolant leaking around the cylinder head, this may indicate a leaking head gasket or a damaged cylinder head.

Oil consumption

Abnormally high oil consumption may indicate wear or damage to the cylinder wall or piston rings, which may be caused by a defective cylinder head.
