🔌 Function

Closes the top of the cylinders and carries the valves, seats and injector bores that have to seal against full combustion pressure.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Coolant disappearing with nothing visible leaking outside the engine
• White vapour from the exhaust that never clears once warm
• Coolant in the oil, or oil and pressure in the coolant
• Bubbling in the header tank or coolant pushed out of the filler
• Cracks around the valve seats or injector bores found once the head is off

🛠️ Service Notes

• At better than 37 kg this is a hoist or two-person lift onto the block
• 3803525 is only 1.36 kg lighter, so check the engine designation rather than judging by size
• Renew the head gasket and head bolts, have the block face checked for flatness, and return the core against deposit 3806286 once the engine is running again
