The cylinder head along with a gasket reside on top of the engine and create a vacuum so that air and fuel can be compressed and the combustion process can commence. Cylinder heads are often lightweight and can become susceptible to damage; however, cracks or leaks in your car’s cylinder head can cause catastrophic damage to your car’s engine resulting in costly engine repairs or replacements. A cylinder head that is cracked can cause the engine to perform poorly, overheat, or fail all together.
