OPERATION - CYLINDER HEAD
The cylinder head closes the combustion chamber allowing the pistons to compress the air fuel mixture to the collect ratio for ignition. The valves located in the cylinder head open and close to either allow clean air into the combustion chamber or to allow the exhaust gases out, depending on the stroke of the engine.

OPERATION-CYLINDER HEAD COVER GASKET
The steel-backed silicone gasket is designed to seal the cylinder head cover for long periods of time through extensive heat and cold, without failure. The gasket is designed to be reusable.
