Does the Cylinder Head Affect Power?

[Gilbert]

The cylinder head does affect power. As a component of the combustion chamber, the quality of the cylinder head design influences engine efficiency. A better cylinder head results in higher engine efficiency. The functions of the cylinder head are: 1. To cover and seal the cylinder, keeping the oil inside while keeping out dirt and moisture contaminants; 2. To separate the oil from the air; 3. To serve as an oil filler port; 4. To act as a mounting bracket for sensors, including the camshaft position and camshaft timing sensors. The cylinder head endures mechanical loads from gas forces and the tightening of cylinder bolts, as well as high thermal loads due to contact with high-temperature combustion gases. To ensure good cylinder sealing, the cylinder head must neither be damaged nor deformed. Therefore, the cylinder head must have sufficient strength and rigidity.
