Cylinder head for Volkswagen AXD

The cylinder head 070103063R is a component that mounts to the top of the engine block to seal the combustion chambers. It houses the intake and exhaust valves, valve seats, valve guides, and camshafts. By forming the upper boundary of the cylinders, this part manages the flow of air and gases while containing the pressures generated during the combustion cycle. It also facilitates the transfer of heat away from the combustion process to the cooling system.

This component is compatible with several Volkswagen engine configurations, specifically the AXD, AXD LEVAS/WITH, BKD, BNZ LEVAS/WITH, and CXEB models. The part is manufactured to the specifications required for these engines to maintain proper compression and fluid separation between the oil and coolant channels. Proper installation ensures the integrity of the combustion chamber and the mechanical timing of the valve train.

In an internal combustion engine, the cylinder head provides the structural housing for the valve train and the ports for air intake and exhaust gas exit. It acts as the interface between the engine block and the intake and exhaust manifolds, ensuring that the combustion process remains contained and efficient throughout the engine's operating range.
