MAIN ENGINE CYLINDER COVERS/ HEADS

Main Engine Cylinder Cover is the housing which sits on the Top of the cylinder liner (thereby terming its name as the Cylinder Head as well). It is usually made of cast iron and comprises the Air starting Valve, Injectors and Air relief Valve mechanism. The Cylinder Cover Acts as a Supplier of Fuel to the Piston& Cylinder Liner chamber thereby creating the pressure to blast the Engine with power to move. The Cylinder Cover normally takes the beating due to the high pressure in the Engine and develops thermal cracks. Thus we procure Cylinder Covers from the Ships coming to the Ship Recycling Yard after careful examination of its cracks if any. Once found ok, these Cylinder covers are Pressure tested to check for leakages in its cooling pockets. After that we service the complete Cylinder Cover and make it ready for further supply on ships.
