Cylinder head

What are the benefits of a Mercedes‑Benz Genuine Remanufactured truck cylinder head?

The truck cylinder head as a genuine remanufactured part from Mercedes‑Benz is just as dimensionally accurate, efficient and reliable as a new part, because it is remanufactured in accordance with the same quality standards as are applied to series production. The cylinder head undergoes concentric turning, the combustion chamber joint faces are repeatedly induction-hardened and valve seat rings are aligned and adjusted fully automatically. The result is a cylinder head that allows the best possible compression as well as performance characteristics and longevity at the same level as a new part. This genuine remanufactured part offers affordable options for an engine overhaul to suit the damage suffered.

How does a cylinder head work?

The cylinder head closes off the top of the combustion chamber in a combustion engine. It separates the combustion chamber from the engine block, forms part of the combustion chamber geometry and transfers some of the heat from the combustion process. It houses valves and valve springs. At the top, the cylinder head is enclosed by the valve cap. It therefore contains the essential component parts for mechanically controlling gas interchange.

How to identify a defect:

• Loss of coolant
• Exhaust gas in the cooling system
• Oil in the coolant
• Coolant in the engine oil
• Clouds of smoke billowing out of the exhaust pipe
• Rapidly rising engine temperature
