How to Extend the Life of Cylinder Heads

Cylinder heads are a key part of your engine’s performance and longevity. Whether you're tuning or simply maintaining your Volkswagen Golf R, proper care of the cylinder head system can prevent costly repairs and improve power delivery.

Maintaining Your VW Golf R Engine

1. Keep the Engine Oil Fresh

Regular oil changes and using OEM oil filters help prevent sludge buildup and keep moving parts properly lubricated.

2. Monitor Coolant Levels

Low coolant levels can cause the cylinder head to overheat and lead to a warped compressor head or gasket damage.

3. Replace the Head Gasket When Needed

Neglecting a worn head gasket can result in combustion leaks and damage to the cylinder head surface.

4. Check for Early Signs of a Failing Cylinder Head Gasket

Look for symptoms like white exhaust smoke or coolant loss, which could point to a damaged cylinder head gasket.

5. Use Premium-Grade Engine Fluids

High-quality oil and coolant help your cylinder head and related components withstand high temps and pressure.

6. Inspect the Cooling System Regularly

A clogged radiator or malfunctioning thermostat can lead to overheating and cylinder head warping.
