Cylinder head (Opel Frontera B)

            0

Contents: Removal ⬇ Installation ⬇
The valve timing components are installed and operate in the cylinder head. To improve thermal conductivity and reduce weight, the cylinder head is made of light alloy. It is exposed to high temperatures and gas pressures and therefore has a rigid lower support surface and is intensively cooled by liquid, and the wall thickness is made as uniform as possible to reduce internal stresses from thermal expansion. The valve seats are pressed into the cylinder head. Each combustion chamber has threaded holes for spark plugs. The threads in the holes can be damaged if the spark plug is tightened too much or is screwed in at an angle.

Warning! To avoid damaging the cylinder head due to temperature changes, remove the cylinder head on a cold engine.


Removal
