🔌 Function

Forms the top of the combustion chambers and houses the valve gear, injectors and coolant galleries, sealing against the block through the head gasket.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Steam or white smoke from the exhaust and unexplained coolant loss
• Coolant and oil mixing, showing as emulsion on the dipstick or filler
• Pressurised cooling system and bubbling in the expansion tank
• One cylinder low on compression, with rough running and hard starting
• Cracking between the valve seats or corrosion of the gasket face found on strip-down

🛠️ Service Notes

• Pressure test and crack test the old head before ordering - reconditioning is often the cheaper route
• Fit new head bolts and gasket, and renew injector seals and any sealing washers at the same time
• At 272 kg this needs lifting gear and freight handling
