11.1 Preparatory Data
Function of cylinder head:
Cylinder head is used to seal cylinder and form a combustion chamber with piston to hold high-temperature
and high-pressure fuel gas. It accomplishes air intake and exhausting operation with valve mechanism.
Precautions on Operation
To ensure sealing between cylinder head and cylinder body, there is a great bolt pretension on the cylinder
head. Pre-tightening force value 12 N·m; Locking force value: 30 N·m.
All the components shall be cleaned before inspection and test, and purged with high-pressure air.
