Pontiac Phoenix Cylinder Head

The Pontiac Phoenix Cylinder Head allows for proper breathing of the engine by directing the air fuel mixture in and the exhaust gases out while sealing combustion for better efficiency and power. The piece that sits on top of the cylinders and anchors the spark plugs, valves, and coolant passages is the Cylinder Head. Any warpage or a cracked Cylinder Head will cause misfires, overheating, and fluid mixing. The highly common problems with the Phoenix are worn valve guides, tired springs, and burnt valves leading to a dead cylinder. Engineered torque to yield head bolts help give the Pontiac block even clamp load for a dependable gasket seal. The Phoenix line has witnessed the emergence of two notable material styles for the Cylinder Head, the traditional cast iron and the lighter aluminum. While cast iron is very strong, the aluminum one is much lighter, will dissipate heat faster, can handle higher compression without detonation, and will sharpen throttle response and power to weight ratio. Performance tuning ensures that every Pontiac Phoenix is delivered with optimal cooling and performance, allowing some port areas to be shaped and targeted portions of the Cylinder Head to be strengthened to minimize flow restrictions, regardless of the material.

Each OEM Pontiac Phoenix Cylinder Head we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.

Pontiac Phoenix Cylinder Head Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: What steps should be followed to remove the cylinder head in four cylinder engine on Pontiac Phoenix?
    A:
    If the engine has been removed from the car, disregard the following steps which do not apply. Begin by removing the Intake Manifold and the Exhaust Manifold. Next, take out the bolts securing the generator bracket to the cylinder head and disconnect the NC compressor, swinging it out of the way for clearance without disconnecting any NC lines unless the system has been depressurized. Disconnect all electrical and vacuum lines that would interfere with cylinder head removal, ensuring to label the lines for their locations. Remove the upper radiator hose, disconnect the spark plug wires, and remove the spark plugs, labeling the wires accordingly. Take off the Rocker Arm cover, breaking the gasket seal if necessary by striking the cover gently. When disassembling the valve mechanisms, keep all components separate for proper reinstallation, using a numbered cardboard box or rack for organization. Remove each rocker arm nut or bolt, then lift the rocker arms off their studs. Proceed to remove the Pushrods and detach the thermostat housing from the cylinder head. Remove all vacuum valves and switches from the cylinder head, followed by the engine lifting "eyes" and the A/C compressor mounting bracket. Loosen each of the 10 cylinder head mounting bolts one turn at a time until they can be removed, noting the length and position of each bolt for reinstallation. Finally, lift the head free of the engine, using a hammer and block of wood if it is stuck, and remove the old cylinder head gasket.
