This comprehensive guide offers a detailed overview of the Nissan Frontier 2.5 16V cylinder head, including its specifications, applications, benefits, installation, and maintenance.

What is a Cylinder Head?

The cylinder head is a fundamental component of the internal combustion engine system. It is located at the top of the engine block and performs several functions essential to the vehicle's performance. The cylinder head contains valves, rocker arms, and, in some cases, injectors, all of which are essential for controlling the flow of air and fuel within the cylinders and the expulsion of exhaust gases.

Main Functions of the Head

1. Valve Control: The cylinder head houses the intake and exhaust valves, essential for the intake of air and fuel and the exhaust gases.
2. Fuel and Air Distribution: Ensures that fuel and air are evenly distributed to the cylinders, resulting in efficient combustion.
3. Engine Sealing: Forms a critical seal with the engine block to prevent oil and coolant leaks.
4. Integration with the Cooling System: It works in conjunction with the cooling system to keep engine temperature under control.
