Can A Broken Engine Cylinder Head Be Repaired?

When the cylinder head of a car engine is damaged, don't worry too much. In most cases, it can be repaired. The repair strategy of the cylinder head can be selected by welding repair or direct replacement according to the damage.

The reasons for the damage of the cylinder head are various, and the corresponding repair methods are also different:

1. If the cylinder head is deformed due to excessive temperature or uneven tightening torque, it may cause the engine power to weaken, acceleration to be difficult, and leakage to occur during driving. In this case, the cylinder head needs to be professionally repaired or replaced.

2. Cylinder gasket ablation is also a common cylinder head problem, which may cause abnormal operation of individual or multiple cylinders, accompanied by abnormal sounds, and the radiator may be short of water, bubble, or even oil and cooling water mixed. In this case, in addition to replacing the cylinder gasket, other related parts need to be checked and repaired.

3. If the damage to the cylinder head causes the oil to mix with the substances produced by combustion, the oil turns white, and water droplets are discharged from the exhaust pipe, this indicates that the engine water temperature is abnormally high, and a professional technician is required to diagnose and repair it.

4. When the cylinder head gasket is severely damaged, the engine performance is greatly reduced or even cannot start, it is usually necessary to replace the damaged cylinder head gasket and related oil and parts.

In general, although the damage of the engine cylinder head may cause a series of problems, as long as professional diagnosis is carried out in time and appropriate repair measures are taken, effective solutions can be found in most cases to ensure that the car remains in good running condition. Therefore, once a problem is found in the engine cylinder head, it should be sent to a professional repair station for inspection and repair immediately.
