How engine modifications and driving conditions affect cylinder heads
Preventative measures to avoid cylinder head failure

Step-by-Step Guide/Tutorial:
Step 1: Identify Common Causes
Cracks often result from extreme temperatures and pressures inside the cylinder. This can weaken the material over time, leading to cracks. Common issues include blown head gaskets, improper engine timing, and increased cylinder pressures from engine modifications.
Step 2: Check for Engine Modifications
Engine deletions or modifications, such as changes in horsepower or turbo setups, can create conditions that lead to cylinder head cracking. Ensure any modifications are done correctly and don’t cause undue stress on the engine.
Step 3: Monitor Driving Conditions
Driving in mountainous areas or under heavy loads can strain the engine. Proper driving techniques, like avoiding excessive engine temperatures and maintaining boost pressures, can help prevent cracks.
Step 4: Consider Upgrades
For high-stress conditions, such as with high horsepower engines like the C15, consider upgrading to a cylinder head with fire rings. This can provide added reliability under extreme conditions.
