At Behind the 8, we know the heartbeat of your diesel engine depends on the cylinder head. With over 25 years of hands-on experience, we’ve mastered the art of providing top-quality cylinder heads that push your engine’s performance to its peak.
Whether you run a busy repair shop, tinker with engines in your garage, or need parts for your fleet, we’ve got you covered.
The cylinder head sits right on top of your engine block, sealing in the cylinders and holding critical parts like valves, spark plugs, and injectors. Think of it as the quarterback of your engine, directing airflow, aiding combustion, and managing heat.
Inside the cylinder head, the combustion chamber is where the action happens. Fuel and air mix here, igniting under high temperatures to power your entire engine. This chamber needs to handle intense heat and pressure.
Now, let’s talk rocker arms. These little levers are crucial—they transfer the camshaft’s motion to the valves, making sure the intake and exhaust valves open and close at the right times. When the intake valves open, a mix of air and fuel enters the combustion chamber. After combustion, the exhaust valves let out the spent gasses.
Managing heat is another big job for the cylinder head. Diesel engines run hot, and the cylinder head needs to keep things cool to avoid overheating. This heat management is vital for the engine’s overall performance and longevity.
So, in short, the cylinder head isn’t just another part. It’s a hardworking component that supports the intake and exhaust processes, keeps the combustion chamber in check, and ensures your engine stays cool even under heavy loads. Without it, your engine would struggle to run efficiently, if at all.
Our cylinder heads are engineered to boost airflow, ensuring your diesel engine gets the air it needs to run efficiently—turning it from a sluggish performer to a powerhouse. They manage the serious heat diesel engines produce, keeping things cool under pressure so your equipment runs smoothly. Plus, they improve compression, ensuring your fuel burns completely, which means better performance, more power, and fewer emissions.
When it comes to cylinder heads, precision and quality are non-negotiable. Our products meet or surpass OEM specs, so they fit perfectly and perform reliably. With a wide array of options, we cater to various diesel engines, making it a breeze to find what you need.
But it’s not just about the products. Our team knows engines inside and out, and we’re here to help every customer get the right parts for their needs.
