Can You Repair a Cracked Cylinder Head?
To DIY or not to DIY?
It can be tempting to just buy the spare parts needed for the
repair and attempt to replace or repair the head yourself, but
without the proper training you very well may miss cracks in more
damaging places, difficult to see with the naked eye. Professional
mechanics also have access to more sophisticated methods for
testing the damage a head has suffered. Trying to save money by
doing the repairs yourself may just end up costing far more than a
traditional mechanic may have charged in the first place. Speaking
of which…
The average cost:
Depending upon the extent of the damages, the average repair can
range from less than $100 to upwards of thousands in a worst case
scenario. The cost is usually determined by the amount of labor the
job requires, whether the head needed full replacement or a simple
repair, as well as what materials the head is built from (iron is
older, and tends to be more expensive to work with than the more
modern aluminum due to scarcity of parts). For a better price in
the long run, always be sure to get your car in for repairs as soon
as you suspect it has a mechanical issue of some kind.
When it’s time to replace:
Sadly, not every cylinder head can be repaired. In some cases, the
damage a cylinder head suffers is too great to fix. The best way to
determine whether a cylinder head needs replacement is assessment
from a professional. There are some signs you can keep an eye out
for, however, including white smoke coming from the engine, large
cracks around the valves of the head, or simply the age of the
part. Luckily, Clearwater Cylinder Heads offers new and rebuilt
cylinder heads for nearly every make and model of car, making the
ordeal of replacing a cylinder head that much cheaper and easier.
