Cylinder Head Problems.

After the big thaw many motorists will counting the cost of the big thaw. As thousands find that having no antifreeze is likely to have cracked the cylinder head on their car. These costly car parts can be found used by logging on to car parts finder and making a simple request.

In an internal combustion engine, the cylinder head sits above the cylinders and consists of a platform containing part of the combustion chamber and the location of the valves and spark plugs. In a flathead engine, the mechanical parts of the valve train are all contained within the block, and the head is essentially a flat plate of metal bolted to the top of the cylinder bank with a head gasket in between; this simplicity leads to ease of manufacture and repair, and accounts for the flathead engine’s early success in production automobiles and continued success in small engines, such as lawnmowers. This design, however, requires the incoming air to flow through a convoluted path, which limits the ability of the engine to perform at higher rpm, leading to the adoption of the overhead valve head design.

Ford RS

The Ford Focus RS has been described as a “worthy” winner after coming away from a Scottish awards ceremony with a prize.

Bill Caven is president of the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers, which chose the motor as the best in the sporting category at the Scottish Car of the Year bash.

He said a combination of excellent features – affordability, power and poise – made the auto leader of the pack.

“The Ford Focus was the winner at the inaugural awards in 1998 and Ford has had winners almost every year, proving that Ford cars deliver what the Scottish market demands,” Mr Caven added.

A total of 17 journalists comprised the panel of judges, selecting the model as the winner above competitors such as the Volkswagen Golf GTi, the Nissan 370Z and the Audi R8 V10.

The win represents the second milestone celebrated by the manufacturer this month.

Earlier in November, it announced that sales of the Fiesta had breached 100,000 so far in 2009
