Purchasing a used cylinder head which hasn\'t been cleaned and inspected is a risky venture. Many sellers will list heads without regard to its condition. Most don\'t know the true condition of the head they\'re selling because it hasn\'t been properly cleaned and inspected. Some even try and trick buyers by posting a couple of out-of-focus photos and providing little to no details, others will leave the gasket on it so you can\'t judge the condition of the mating surface. And since it arrives just as dirty as when they sold it, if you clean it and discover defects, you usually cannot return it regardless. Some 90% of the heads we remove from good running engines are warped to some degree and are not suitable for use unless they are machined. Doing the job right the first time will increase your tractor\'s productivity, decrease downtime, and insure your engine operates up to its full potential.Did you know that carbon buildup on the cylinder head acts similar to a sponge and absorbs raw fuel which contributes to poor cold starting conditions and rough operation when engine is running? Any major tune-up should include the removal and decarbonizing of the head. Removing any paint and grease from exterior of head promotes more efficient cooling by allowing heat to travel to cooling fins where it can dissipate into the air. Never paint the head as paint holds in heat and prevents equal dissipation through the cooling fins. Always insure the engine tins are installed. They force air to flow through the cooling fins on the cylinder and the head. Otherwise air will take the path of least resistance and flow around the engine. Lastly, check the screen on the flywheel and make sure it\'s clear of grass clippings and debris. Cool air is pulled in through the screen and if it\'s restricted it will greatly decrease the volume of air needed for cooling.
