SwRI engineers have
worked extensively with major foundries in
the development of cylinder heads and
cylinder head cores. |
A successful cylinder head design depends to a great degree
on its manufacturability. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) engineers have worked extensively with major foundries in the development of cylinder heads and cylinder head cores. Through this
process, techniques have been developed that avoid common design errors such as:
Core breakage and high scrap rate Residual burned-in sand resulting in reduced cooling capability and cylinder head life Residual loose sand resulting in reduced life for both coolant and lubricating pumps
