G3 (Mexico and USA) 2009-2010 F14D3 F16D3 96446922 96389035 F14D3 F16D3 Gasoline Cylinder Head Assembly for Chevrolet Gentra Kalos Lacetti Optra Buick/Ror – OEM 96446922

Product Overview: This complete cylinder head assembly is a direct-fit replacement engineered for Chevrolet F14D3 F16D3 engines. The assembly arrives complete with valves fitted and machined combustion chambers, making it a practical solution for a warped, cracked or valve-damaged original cylinder head. Designed for 1.4 L / 1.6 L engines, the casting is produced from aluminium alloy.

Key Features: CNC machining holds deck flatness, valve seat concentricity, valve stem protrusion and port geometry to original equipment limits. Valve guides and seats are pre-installed and honed, and combustion chamber volumes are matched cylinder to cylinder for balanced compression and a smooth idle. The manifold mounting faces are machined flat so intake and exhaust gaskets seal correctly. Coolant passages are cast to the original profile to maintain uniform temperature distribution across the head.

Vehicle Compatibility: This part is listed for Chevrolet, covering model families such as Aveo (NON CANADA AND US), GENTRA (T255), Cruze Hatchback - Europe, Cruze (Thailand), Aveo (T250 / T255) and Cruze Notchback - GMSA. Documented fitment covers model years 2009-2018, 2004-2020 and 2003-2010.

Specifications: Key specifications: engine code F14D3 F16D3; displacement 1.4 L / 1.6 L; cylinder configuration Inline-4; material Aluminum Alloy; size STD; condition New; warranty 12 Months. Further specification details: valve train DOHC 16V. Manufacturing is carried out under ISO 9001 / TS16949 quality systems.

OEM / Reference Numbers: No alternative reference numbers are published for this listing; identification should be made from the engine code and vehicle application details.

Applications: It is intended for repairing cylinder heads damaged by overheating, cracking or valve contact, and for complete engine overhauls. The part is a sensible stock item for workshops that service this engine family regularly and want to minimise vehicle downtime. It also suits preventative maintenance programmes where a failed unit is replaced before secondary damage occurs.

Benefits / Replacement Information: Installing a new head assembly restores lost compression, corrects coolant loss and combustion leakage caused by cracking or distortion, and returns the engine to reliable service. Delivered ready to fit, the assembly removes the extensive machining work normally needed to revive a failed head. A new casting removes the risk that a repaired original head will crack again after the engine has been rebuilt.

Installation or Fitment Notes: Check the reference number and engine code first, then inspect the block deck for flatness and distortion. Use new head bolts where they are torque-to-yield, a correct replacement gasket, and clean, dry head bolt holes before assembly. Record the fitted part number and mileage in the service history so future maintenance references the correct replacement.
