🔌 Function

Closes the top of the cylinders and carries the valves, seats, guides and coolant passages that let the engine breathe and stay cool.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Coolant loss with no external leak, and steam or a sweet smell in the exhaust
• Overheating, pressurised header tank or bubbles in the coolant
• Compression down on adjacent cylinders
• Cracked or corroded head found on strip-down, especially around the water passages of a raw water cooled engine
• Rough running with a misfire that does not follow the ignition components

🛠️ Service Notes

• At nearly 32 kg this is a heavy item needing freight handling and two people to lift it into place
• Have the head face checked for flatness and the seats and guides inspected before building it up, and renew the head bolts or studs where the workshop manual calls for it
• Find out what caused the original failure - an overheat or a corroded head means checking the cooling system before running again
