Nissan Juke F15 1.6 16V Petrol HR16DE Cylinder Head Assembly

The cylinder head is mounted directly on top of the engine block. The head gasket seals the joint between the cylinder head and cylinder block. Above the head sit the upper valvetrain/cam-related components and rocker/cam cover.

The cylinder head forms the upper section of the combustion chambers and provides the working structure for the intake/exhaust valve system, spark-plug locations and the engine's oil and coolant passages through the head. Correct sealing and valve operation are essential for compression, combustion, cooling and gas flow.

A correctly matched original-vehicle component retains the mounting geometry, port positions, sensor interfaces and internal oil/coolant passage layout intended for the application. Low-cost pattern components can vary in manufacturing quality or specification, so accurate matching is especially important on a major engine component such as a cylinder head.

A quality pre-owned component can also represent a substantial saving compared with purchasing a new dealer-supplied assembly. The exact saving depends on the vehicle, component and current new-part price.

For best results: match the engine code, casting/engineering marks, port layout and photographs before purchasing.

1. Confirm F15 chassis, HR16DE engine code and cylinder-head casting/layout before dismantling.
2. Disconnect the battery and make the vehicle safe to work on.
3. Drain coolant and any fluids required by the repair procedure.
4. Remove intake ducting, ignition components, electrical connectors and associated hoses as required.
5. Remove intake and exhaust components necessary to access the head.
6. Set the engine correctly for timing work and use the appropriate timing/locking procedure.
7. Remove rocker/cam-related components, front/timing components and timing chain equipment as required by the workshop procedure.
8. Remove the head fasteners in the correct specified sequence and lift off the existing cylinder head.
9. Inspect the block deck, head, gasket surfaces and cooling system. Check for distortion, cracks or other root causes of the original failure.
10. Pressure testing and/or machining should be carried out where the diagnosis or measurements require it.
11. Install the correct new head gasket and replacement fasteners where specified.
12. Use the correct vehicle-specific tightening sequence, torque stages and angle procedure from professional workshop data.
13. Re-establish engine timing exactly and rotate/check the engine safely before first start.
14. Refill and bleed the cooling system, replace oil/filter where required and check all fluid levels.
15. Start, diagnose, check for leaks, monitor temperature and verify compression/running quality before road use.

Please do not rely on registration year by itself. Verify the engine code and compare the existing component with the actual photographs before installation.

Where eBay's rules and applicable law permit a deduction for loss in value caused by use, damage, alteration or handling beyond what is reasonably necessary, any such deduction will only be dealt with in accordance with the applicable eBay process and legal requirements.

International delivery may be available through eBay's Global Shipping Programme where the item, destination and buyer order are eligible. The availability and final delivery options shown by eBay at checkout always take priority because eBay can update destination coverage.

With more than 25,000 parts stocked on the shelf at any one time, ThePartPilot focuses on supplying reusable automotive components efficiently while providing detailed compatibility information designed to reduce incorrect orders.

Thank you for supporting an independent automotive parts business. Reusing a serviceable vehicle component keeps useful material in circulation and can reduce the need to manufacture another replacement component from new raw materials.

♻️ Every correctly matched reusable part given another working life is one more component kept in productive use rather than being discarded unnecessarily.
