I. What is an Engine Cylinder Head?

An engine cylinder head is a core engine component that seals the top of the cylinder block, forming the combustion chamber and providing mounting support for critical parts like valve trains and fuel injectors. As a leading diesel cylinder head manufacturer, we ensure precision machining for optimal sealing, heat dissipation, and airflow efficiency, suitable for turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines—particularly optimized for high-load applications in commercial vehicle and marine engine cylinder heads. Our products pass high/low-temperature cycle tests, complying with ASTM A159 (aluminum alloy) and DIN EN 1561 (cast iron) standards.


II. Cylinder Head Product Series & Models

We offer a diverse engine cylinder head portfolio across multiple industries:

Commercial Vehicle Diesel Cylinder Heads

IV. Key Components of Diesel Cylinder Heads

(Take heavy-duty commercial diesel cylinder heads as an example)


  • Combustion Chamber Surface: Withstands 250bar pressure (typical for diesel engines), laser-quenched to HRC50-55 for extreme durability.

  • Valve Seat Inserts: Inlaid with Stellite alloy, compatible with high-pressure fuel injection (up to 2000bar), with wear resistance exceeding 1,000 hours.

  • Spiral Coolant Channels: Engineered for high thermal loads, delivering 30% improved heat dissipation and reducing hot-spot temperatures by 50℃.

  • Bolt Holes: CNC-machined for ±0.02mm positional accuracy, ensuring airtight sealing with the diesel engine block (leakage rate < 0.1%).


V. Tiegu Cylinder Head Advantages

Reliable Commercial Vehicle Cylinder Heads

  • Custom cast iron heads for heavy trucks and machinery (HT350 material), with 20% enhanced corrosion resistance, operating reliably from -30°C to 120°C.

Professional Marine Cylinder Heads

  • Vermicular graphite iron marine heads certified by DNV GL, featuring independent oil cooling circuits for 10+ years of saltwater corrosion resistance.

Innovative Aluminum Alloy Cylinder Heads

  • Passenger vehicle aluminum heads with 4-valve designs, improving air intake efficiency by 25% and fuel economy by 15%.

VI. Manufacturing Processes 

Sand Casting for Diesel Cylinder Heads

  • Three-box molding process solves complex internal cavity challenges (e.g., EGR cooling channels), with molds lasting >50,000 cycles and dimensional accuracy of ±0.15mm.

Nondestructive Testing for Marine Cylinder Heads

  • 100% ultrasonic testing (UT) optimized for CGI material, detecting defects ≥0.2mm to ensure marine-grade reliability.

VII. Application Fields

  • Commercial Vehicles: Specialized heavy-duty diesel cylinder heads for tractors and dump trucks, compliant with Euro VI b/dpF emissions.

  • Marine Industry: IMO Tier III marine engine cylinder heads compatible with <0.1% sulfur fuel.

  • Construction Machinery: Loader/excavator cast iron heads tested for 1,000+ hours of continuous operation, with fatigue life 30% above industry standards.

  • Power Generation: CGI cylinder heads for diesel generator sets, designed for 24/7 operation with ≤50Hz vibration tolerance.

VIII. Cylinder Head vs. Cylinder Block: Core Differences

Cylinder Head vs Block - Material/Weight/Process Comparison - Engine Component Selection Guide

FeatureCylinder HeadCylinder Block
FunctionSeals cylinder, controls airflow/fuelSupports pistons/crankshaft, forms engine structure
MaterialsAluminum alloy/cast iron/CGIGray cast iron/aluminum (lightweight)
Weight15-150kg (passenger vehicles-marine)50-500kg (passenger vehicles-heavy machinery)
Key ProcessesValve seat insertion, high-precision surfacingCylinder honing, crankshaft bearing boring
Failure ModesThermal fatigue cracks, valve seat wearCylinder bore deformation, water jacket leaks


While both are core engine components, cylinder heads and blocks differ fundamentally in function and structure. Heads focus on sealing the combustion chamber and supporting critical components, while blocks serve as the engine’s structural skeleton, housing moving parts like pistons and crankshafts. Heads require precision design and surface treatment, while blocks prioritize overall strength and heat dissipation.
