Volvo Cylinder Head Bolt - Reinz 6842347

Product Information

An engine cylinder head bolt is a critical fastener that holds the cylinder head firmly onto the engine block. This secure fit ensures a tight seal between the cylinder head and the engine block, allowing for efficient compression and combustion, and preventing oil or coolant from leaking into the combustion chambers. Cylinder head bolts are designed to withstand extreme pressure and high temperatures generated during engine operation and are often torque to yield fasteners, meaning once removed they are meant to be replaced.

• Coolant or Oil Leaks: A failing or loose cylinder head bolt may cause the head gasket to lose its seal, allowing coolant or oil to leak externally or into the combustion chamber
• Engine Overheating: A poor seal between the head and the engine block due to a failing head bolt can lead to coolant leaks, reducing the coolant level and causing the engine to overheat. This may trigger a temperature warning on the dashboard
• Reduced Engine Performance: A compromised head bolt may allow air or gases to escape the combustion chamber, leading to reduced compression and performance

About Reinz

Founded by Hugo Reinz in 1920, Reinz has been known for the manufacturing of Automotive gaskets for over 90 years. For almost a century Reinz has provided gaskets and sealing products for both auto manufacturers and as an aftermarket solution for car enthusiasts. Their full catalog features over 15,000 different products, providing a great selection for excellent value. Way back in 1962 Reinz became the (OEM) original equipment manufacturer for the prestigious Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen car companies, a strong partnership that still continues to this day. The company continues to innovate and stay well ahead of the curve. For example, Reinz stopped using asbestos in their gaskets 12 years before it was banned in Germany in 1993. Reinz performs because every part they manufacture meets OEM standards – meaning you're getting great value that you can believe in. Many brands and models use sealing solutions from Reinz. In 1993 Reinx became a partner to the American company, Dana, to form the largest manufactures of components for automobile and commercial vehicles. The Gasket segment of Dana was Victor at the time ahich was then merged with Reinz to form the brand name of "Victor Reinz".
