Description
How to Know If You Need a New Cylinder Head?
Every engine is due for repairs from time to time. Among the most
important pieces of most engines is the cylinder head, which, if
damaged, can prove increasingly perilous the longer it goes
unrepaired. Here are some warning signs and symptoms which may be
caused by cylinder head damage.
Weak Engine
Cylinder heads are responsible for containing and directing the
internal combustion of an engine’s cylinders, meaning if that
ability is hindered, the engine’s efficiency and power may take a
hit. This can be seen in lower gas mileage, sluggish acceleration,
and difficulty getting up steep inclines.
The Verdict: This is most often among the first signs of a cracked
cylinder head, and usually can be repaired if caught in its early
stage.
Cracked Cylinder Head Repair Cost
The cost of a cracked cylinder head repair job will vary depending
on the make and model of the vehicle that it’s in. You can be sure
that it will cost at least $500, which includes labor and parts
costs.
If you were to replace the entire cylinder head, it would only cost
$200 to $300 on average for parts. With labor at about $90 to $100
per hour, this comes out to roughly $500 for the job. However, this
is assuming the cylinder head is made of aluminum like they are in
most cars these days.
If the cylinder heads are hard to access (as they are on Subarus,
since they use a boxer engine layout), labor costs may be
significantly higher.
If you have an older vehicle or more expensive vehicle, you
probably have a cylinder head made of iron. Since iron is a more
expensive material than aluminum, you might be looking at $500 just
for the parts.
