Cylinder Head Bolts

 

Cylinder head bolts are the fasteners that attach the heads of an engine to the block.

Cylinder head bolts are typically made of stainless steel or iron, although some high-performance engines may use aluminium fasteners instead.

What are cylinder bolts made of?

Cylinder head bolts are typically made of stainless steel or iron, although some high-performance engines may use aluminium fasteners instead but mostly the cylinder head bolts are made of steel, which is a hard metal. Steel has high tensile strength and malleability, which means it can be easily bent or shaped. This makes it ideal for cylinder head bolts because they have to be able to withstand the heat generated by the engine's combustion process while simultaneously being able to withstand forces generated by the engine's rotation. 

The Use Of Cylinder Bolts.

Cylinder-head bolts connect the engine block, the cylinder-head gasket, and the cylinder head. The bolt tightening force is critical for the mutual sealing of the combustion chamber, lubricant, coolant channels, and ambient air.

When tightening these bolts, surface tension is generated by means of surface pressure. The tighter the bolt is torqued, the greater the surface pressure becomes—and it is this pressure that ensures a perfect seal. Achieving this requires use of an appropriate method for torquing these bolts—one that can be used both in extreme temperatures and under various pressures.
