Its purpose is to seal the combustion gases within the cylinders and to avoid coolant or engine oil leaking into the cylinders. [1] Leaks in the head gasket can cause poor engine running and/or overheating.
This is also common for motorcycles, and such head/cylinder components are referred to as barrels. Some engines, particularly medium- and large-capacity diesel engines built for industrial, marine, power generation, and heavy traction purposes (large trucks, locomotives, heavy equipment, etc.) have individual cylinder heads for each cylinder ...
Cleaning methods encompass solvent cleaning, hot alkaline detergent cleaning, electro-cleaning, and acid etch. In industrial settings, the water-break test is a common practice to assess machinery cleanliness. This test involves thoroughly rinsing and vertically holding the surface.
Honda's first production V6 was the C series; it was produced in displacements from 2.0 to 3.5 liters.The C engine was produced in various forms for over 20 years (1985–2005), having first been used in the KA series Legend model, and its British sister car the Rover 800-series (and Sterling).
The new engine had bimetallic pistons to lower oil consumption and a new 8-port cylinder head, which improved power output and allowed the engine to run on unleaded fuel. To fit the new cylinder head, the engine block also had to be modified. In 1993, this engine became available with Bosch single-point injection system and a catalytic converter.
