In a flathead or side valve engine, the
cylinder head contains parts of the valve train and the
cylinder head is bolted to the top of the block itself. This
cylinder head assembly variation minimizes moving parts inside the
cylinder head and enables simpler manufacturing and repair. That’s why these types of motors having this kind of
cylinder head were very popular in earlier motor cars and are still in use today in smaller engines. If you possess such a motor with that type of
cylinder head in your vehicle, we can fix it if it needs repair. Many older cars have that sort of
cylinder head limiting air flow’s ability to proceed in a straight manner for better motor performances. These
cylinder head designs are still in use in some of the older vehicles we still take pleasure in repairing.

No matter what type of motor, a cylinder head has to play its part to achieve full engine power. On the inside of a cylinder head, airways allowing fuel and air to pass must also allow exhaust gasses to be expelled through the same cylinder head structure. A water-cooled engine also has cylinder head integral ducts and passage ways for the engine’s coolant mixture to transfer built-up heat away from the cylinder head and the whole of the engine, reducing cylinder headmetal torque or wear and tear from exceedingly high temperatures. Fixing a cylinder head depends on the type of motor and requires special machining tools to properly fit the cylinder head to the motor’s body

For an Overhead Valve design, the
cylinder head contains poppet valves as well as the motor’s spark plugs. The
cylinder head also holds the needed space to let the air and fuel mixture to get into the cylinder, and to get out as exhaust fumes. Valves are operated by a crankshaft fitted into the cylinder block itself. The
cylinder head also includes the valve’s pushrods and the rocker arms allowing for power to be driven to the transmission. A perfect
cylinder head will hold everything running smoothly, but if a
cylinder head doesn’t perform perfectly, the
cylinder head must be fixed, remade or changed to get back all the motor’s power. RMMOTEUR can fix, remodel or replace any type of
cylinder head in no time at all.

A cylinder head can also be found in another type of motor. This OVC design has a cylinder head also containing valves, spark plugs and intake – exhaust tracts. In this design, the camshaft is kept inside the cylinder head. These design variations are basic to cylinder head repair and only expert mechanics can do what’s right to get a perfectly working cylinder head do its job properly. So many motor and cylinder head designs exists that you’ll always be better served for your cylinder head repairs if you deal with the best cylinder head mechanics around, like the ones at RMMOTEUR, in Montreal.
