Genuine Used Engine Heads for All Makes

A cracked or warped cylinder head doesn't have to mean the end of your vehicle. At Falcon Car Parts, we specialize in providing genuine used cylinder heads that deliver factory-level reliability without the massive dealership markup. Why pay thousands for new castings?

Every used engine head we ship is pulled from low-mileage vehicles and undergoes a rigorous cleaning and inspection process. We check the valve seats, spark plug threads, and mating surfaces to ensure they meet OEM specifications.

  • Pressure Verified: Confirmed no leaks in the cooling or oil galleries.
  • Flatness Checked: Deck surfaces are measured for total precision.
  • Thread Inspection: All bolt holes and plug threads are chased and verified.

Our 6-Point Quality Check for Cylinder Heads

Engine components require zero-margin for error. Every used head passes this strict inspection:

  • 1. Pressure Leak Test: We block all ports and pressurize the unit to detect microscopic cracks.
  • 2. Straight-Edge Flatness Test: We verify the deck surface meets tight factory tolerances.
  • 3. Camshaft Journal Inspection: We check for scoring or wear in the overhead cam support areas.
  • 4. Valve Seat Condition: We inspect for pitting or carbon buildup that could affect seal.
  • 5. Thread Integrity: Every bolt hole and spark plug port is visually and physically checked.
  • 6. Ultrasonic Cleaning: Heads are professionally cleaned to remove oil sludge and carbon deposits.

Common Questions About Buying Used Cylinder Heads

Used cylinder heads typically range from $200 to $800 depending on the vehicle's make, model, and engine type. V-type engines often require buying a matched pair for optimal performance.

Yes. Every cylinder head undergoes a professional pressure test to check for internal cracks in the water jackets or oil passages, ensuring the unit is structurally sound.

Our cylinder heads usually come as "complete" assemblies, including valves, springs, and often the camshafts. However, specific accessories like sensors or manifolds are usually removed.

If your head is cracked, repair is often impossible. If it's warped, machining costs can be high. Buying a tested OEM head is often the faster and more cost-effective solution.

While we verify flatness before shipping, we highly recommend a light resurfacing ("decking") at a machine shop to ensure a 100% perfect seal with your new head gasket.

Common symptoms include engine overheating, white smoke from the exhaust, loss of coolant, or oil looking like "chocolate milk" due to coolant contamination.

No. Valve clearances should always be checked and adjusted to your vehicle’s factory specifications by a certified mechanic during the installation process.

Often yes, but we use your VIN to ensure total compatibility. Small changes in EGR ports or sensor locations can occur even within the same engine generation.

The most common cause is extreme overheating. Other causes include frozen coolant (lack of antifreeze) expanding in the block or pre-ignition damage.
