How Long Can an Engine with a Replaced Cylinder Head Last?
1 Answers
An engine with a replaced cylinder head can last four to five years if properly maintained. After a major overhaul, if the technical conditions are met, the engine's performance can be restored to over 90% of its original state. Normally, the service life of an engine will be shortened after a major overhaul. Introduction to Automotive Engines: An automotive engine is the device that provides power to a vehicle, acting as its heart and determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental performance. Depending on the power source, automotive engines can be classified into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric motors for electric vehicles, and hybrid systems, among others. Classification of Automotive Engines: Common gasoline and diesel engines are both types of reciprocating piston internal combustion engines, which convert the chemical energy of fuel into mechanical energy for piston movement and external power output. Gasoline engines have high rotational speeds, are lightweight, produce less noise, are easy to start, and have lower manufacturing costs. Diesel engines, on the other hand, have higher compression ratios, greater thermal efficiency, and better fuel economy and emission performance compared to gasoline engines.
