Cylinder Head Castings

Cylinder head castings, as anyone familiar with engines knows, are the core of all combustion engines. Every gasoline and diesel engine, whether in a car, truck, motorcycle or boat contains a cast cylinder head.

Cylinder heads are cast out of aluminum or iron and are just one of the large numbers of engine parts that are created by investment casting. Without foundry casting there would be no automotive industry, trucking industry or airplane industry.

Here is a very brief list of some of the parts created by investment casting:

• Cylinder head bolts
• Valves
• Cams
• Rocker arm/assemblies
• Springs
• Lifters
• Engine fasteners
• Locking header bolts
• Gears
• Brackets
• Intake manifolds

Any mechanic will tell you that there can be a real difference in the quality of engine parts. The old saying, “you get what you pay for” is so true. You can buy cheaper cylinder head castings, but sooner rather than later that part will experience failure. Buy quality instead and know that that part will perform beyond your expectations.
