What is the function of the cylinder head?
1 Answers
The function of the cylinder head is to seal the cylinder, forming an enclosed space that allows the piston to properly compress fuel and air mixture to generate power. The cylinder is a cylindrical metal component that guides the piston to perform linear reciprocating motion inside it, consisting of cylinder barrel, end cover, piston, piston rod, and sealing elements. The removal method for the cylinder head is: 1. Secure the engine on a turnover stand and place the stand on the workbench; 2. Remove the valve cover; 3. Remove the oil deflector cover on the cylinder head; 4. Loosen the cylinder head bolts and remove all bolts in sequence from both sides to the center; 5. Gently tap the joint between the cylinder head and cylinder block with a soft hammer to loosen it, then remove the cylinder head.
