Used Cylinder Head

• Do your research about cylinder heads before you buy one.
• Choosing the appropriate cylinder head for your needs begins with determining the primary application for your cylinder head. Keep in mind whether you’re driving on the street or off-road, or if you’re doing drag, circle track, or road racing.
• By comparing stock exhaust port volume and valve size for your cylinder head, select a good-flowing exhaust port that is the proper size and will be compatible with your vehicle. 
• Try to bring a mechanic with you to check the condition of the used cylinder head.
• Check for any leakages, spills, broken parts, cracks, etc. on the used auto parts. 
• Always try to purchase used heads that are salvaged from a low mileage car, which minimizes the likelihood of the auto component being worn-down and damaged.
• Always buy from a reputable dealer and ensure that there is a standard warranty on the used cylinder head.

• Rough running and misfiring of the cylinder head

For full combustion, an cylinder head requires three components: appropriate spark, the appropriate air/fuel ratio, and appropriate compression. A broken cylinder head can cause compression loss, causing the cylinder head to run rough and misfire.

• Combustion gases in the cooling system 

The entry of combustion gases into the cooling system can be facilitated by a broken cylinder head. As a consequence, you may observe a lot of bubbles in the coolant before it starts to boil. You may also notice that the cooling system is under a lot of strain.

• Warning lights may turn on

A broken cylinder head might cause the check cylinder headlight, low coolant level light, and cylinder head overhead light to illuminate. If your vehicle has a temperature gauge, you may see it begin to rise.

Benefits of Buying Used Cylinder Heads

Did you know that a used cylinder head costs up to 80% less than a brand-new cylinder head? The number one reason to buy used auto parts would be the price factor. A used cylinder head replacement costs only a fraction of the price of a new cylinder head while giving a very similar output. 

Another advantage of a used head is that it is an excellent way to help the environment. This is because reusing auto parts such as cylinder heads from salvaged vehicles help keep these materials out of the landfill. This means that you are increasing the lifespan of these materials instead of throwing them away. 

Used OEM components are also highly dependable since they are custom-made to meet the specifications of a given make and model of a vehicle. In layman’s words, this means that when you purchase a used OEM cylinder head, you will receive an auto part that is specifically designed to fit your vehicle, thus increasing the lifespan of your vehicle.
