Signs You Need Cylinder Head Repair
Detection of the indications of cylinder head failure at the earliest possible moment can prevent you from expensive repairs in the future. The most frequent indications that inform you about the necessity to repair the cylinder head are as follows:
- Engine Overheating and Loss of Coolant. If your engine components are constantly overheating, or low coolant levels are reported, but no leaks are seen, then it could be caused by a cracked cylinder head. A malfunctioning head leads to head leakage and thus coolant leakage, which causes overheating and possible engine failure.
- White Exhaust Smoke. White smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe can be an indication of the cooling fluid ingress into the combustion chamber. This usually points to a cracked cylinder head or a blown head gasket, both of which require repair by expert technicians at a specialized car garage. With these kinds of issues, it's not safe to drive a vehicle.
- Decreased Engine Power and Responsiveness. Loss of engine power or responsiveness is a sign that something is wrong with the cylinder head. If your car cannot accelerate or maintain speed, then repair time for the cylinder head is now.
- Coolant or Antifreeze Oil Contamination. When you detect oily fluid in your antifreeze or coolant, it most likely indicates a cylinder head leak. These contaminants can lead to fatal engine issues if not discovered and addressed in a timely manner.
- Loss of Compression in the Cylinders. Decreased compression in one cylinder or all cylinders may be an indication of cylinder head damage. Decreased compression reduces the power of the engine and causes the engine to misfire and idle.
- Head Gasket Failure. Head gasket issues are closely related to cylinder head problems, as both involve the seal between the head and the engine block. It occurs when the gasket can't contain combustion pressure or keep fluids separate. Since the head gasket is an important component that prevents coolant and oil from mixing, its failure can lead to significant car damage. A common cause is cracks or warping in the head or block due to overheating. If ignored, it can lead to severe engine damage and higher repair costs.
These issues are often caused by an engine running under harsh conditions, extreme temperatures, or due to wear over time.
Cylinder Head Repair Process
If you are looking for a damaged head repair or replacement, our service center in Dubai will offer you the best cylinder head repair process that will make your engine run at its best. Here is a step-by-step description of what we do:
- Disassembly and Cylinder Head Inspection. We begin the repair by taking the cylinder head off the engine. We will sift through it, trying to find any minor damage in the form of warping or cracking, and inspect the head for overall condition.
- Cleaning and Micro-crack Test. After we disassemble the cylinder head, we will thoroughly clean it so that no dirt or impurities are left. At our workshop in Dubai, we use state-of-the-art inspection tools, including dye penetrant testing kits and magnetic particle inspection equipment, to check the cylinder head for micro-cracks that are not visible to the naked eye. Dye penetrant testing involves applying a fluorescent dye to the surface, which seeps into any cracks and is then revealed under ultraviolet light, allowing us to identify even the smallest fissures. Magnetic particle inspection, on the other hand, uses magnetic fields to detect surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. We ensure that no crack is missed.
- Mating Surface Resurfacing. If the mating surface of the cylinder head is also damaged, we will resurface it to factory specification. This is an important step to allow the head to seal when rebuilt on the engine.
- Valve Guide/Seat Replacement. While the valves are being repaired, valve guides or seats may also be replaced or repaired if damaged or worn out. This way, valves work properly and deliver maximum engine performance.
- Sealing and Reassembly. Lastly, our expert mechanics use good-quality sealants and reassemble the cylinder head with utmost care so that everything goes on just like before. We will do the reassembly extremely carefully to ensure that every part is as good as before refitting it back into the engine.
