Ensuring That You Have Quality Dodge Cylinder Heads Is Literally Vital

By Iva Cannon


Engine parts for any make of motor vehicle can be pricey but to keep the level of performance up it is worth the cost. Depending on the make, the Dodge cylinder heads can go for about $689.00 for a 360 magnum jeep. A rebuilt one can go for about $225.00 for makes of 2008 and older.

This part of the engine closes over the top of the cylinder which forms a combustion chamber. This is then sealed by a head gasket and in most engines it provides a space for the air and fuel to feed into the cylinder. It also houses the intake valves and the exhaust as well as the fuel injector. For those engines that are water cooled it contains passages and ducts for the coolant so that it can move excess heat away from the head.

In order to fix a misfire in the cylinder one needs to first determine where it is occurring then to try diagnose the problem and lastly to replace the part. In some cases the whole head might need to be replaced. To find the problem attach a scan tool to the OBDII port, it will then give out a diagnostic code. It could either indicate that there is a problem with the spark plugs or wire and if the code ends with a zero the problem could be with two or more of the cylinders. It is easier to use a scanning tool as it prevents one from having to remove the plug wires individually to find the problem.

As the years progressed into the nineteenth century things such as the hand brake, multi speed transmission and better handling were developed. In 1815 a professor at Prague Polytechnic built an oil fired steam car which resulted in the London steam buses. In 1838 a four seat steam sporty open carriage was built.

It goes over the Straits of Mackinac which connect Lake Michigan and Lake Huron which are considered to be Great Lakes. It is thirty seven metres deep and about eight kilometres wide. This strip of water is a major shipping lane and there are ferries that carry passengers over to Mackinac Island.

A Dodge Engine Gasket Set going for $83.95 can be found on Auto Parts Warehouse which includes a nine cover bolt, two exhaust manifold gaskets, two cylinder head gaskets, one exhaust pipe gasket as well as six intake manifold gaskets with eleven rubber seals. This is available for the Ram 1500 and Dakota as well as the Durango makes. There is a saving of over $150.00.

The history of the Dodge motor vehicles started in 1914 when John and Horace produced their first car. They were engine builders as well as stockholders for the Ford Motor Company. The Dodge 4 was used by the American army because it was tough and was also used in World War 1 for staff cars and ambulances.

Auto Parts Warehouse is an online retailer that sells parts as well as accessories for many different cars, trucks and vans. It is a publicly traded company and was founded in 1995. Its headquarters are in Carson, California.
