Cylinder Head Pressure Tester
Cylinder head pressure testing equipment uses pressure and heating to detect leaks and cracks in engine heads. Available with heating up to 198°F (92°C) and 180° tilt, these pressure testing machines handle heads from cars, trucks and industrial engines. Ideal for machine shops that need to verify head integrity after resurfacing or repair work.

Frequently asked questions
What does a cylinder head pressure testing machine do?
The machine applies controlled pressure and heating to the cylinder head to detect cracks, leaks and internal fissures. Heating expands the material and pressure reveals defects not visible to the naked eye, ensuring the head is sound before engine assembly.
What's the difference between testing with and without heating?
Testing with heating up to 198°F (92°C) is more efficient because it simulates real engine operating conditions. Heating expands micro-cracks that may not appear at room temperature, detecting defects that would only surface after the engine heats up during operation.
What cylinder head size can I test in these machines?
Machines accommodate heads up to 47.2x18.5 inches (1200x470mm), handling everything from compact car engines to medium truck heads. The 14.3-gallon (54L) tank allows complete immersion testing, and 180° tilt facilitates positioning heads of different shapes and sizes.
What engine types does it work with?
Handles heads from gasoline, alcohol, diesel and flex-fuel engines in cars, light and medium trucks, tractors and industrial equipment. Works with cast iron and aluminum heads, essential for machine shops working with diverse vehicle types.
