Cylinder Head & Cylinder Head Core Solutions
Cylinder Head & Cylinder Head Core Solutions
Core-making capability and finished cylinder head casting support for automotive engine manufacturers.
Cylinder Head Core Capability
The cylinder head is one of the most geometrically complex castings in an engine, and its internal water-jacket and port passages are formed almost entirely by cores. This page covers Mahati's capability both as a core supplier to customers who cast heads themselves, and as a manufacturer of the finished cast component — so buyers with either requirement can find the right fit.
Core Geometry
Cylinder head cores involve intricate, often thin-walled internal geometry for water jackets and port passages. Core accuracy at this stage determines final wall thickness and passage geometry in the finished head, which is why core-making is presented as a distinct capability rather than a hidden step.
Sand / Shell Proces
Cores and, where applicable, the cylinder head casting itself are produced using sand and shell processes suited to this level of internal complexity.
Dimensional Control
Core dimensions and, for finished castings, critical machined features are checked against the customer's drawing, with attention to the wall-thickness consistency that cylinder heads require for structural and thermal performance.
Automotive Applications
This capability supports automotive engine manufacturers and Tier suppliers who need either cylinder head cores as a standalone supply, or a complete cast-and-machined cylinder head component.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Mahati supply cylinder head cores only, or complete cylinder head castings?
Both. Mahati supplies cylinder head cores as a standalone product to customers who cast heads themselves, and also manufactures complete cast, machined cylinder head components.
What process is used to make cylinder head cores?
Cores are produced using sand and shell core-making processes suited to the intricate water-jacket and port-passage geometry of a cylinder head.
Why is core accuracy important for cylinder heads?
Core accuracy determines the final wall thickness and internal passage geometry of the cast head, which affects both structural integrity and thermal performance.
Can Mahati work from our existing core-box tooling or design new tooling?
Both options are reviewed case by case — share your existing tooling details or your component drawing so the right approach can be discussed.
