Topping the inline five engine is the Volvo 850 Cylinder Head, which provides the twin benefits of sealed dependability and free-breathing air, allowing each stroke of combustion to be fully felt. This Cylinder Head is installed in the tiny engine bay, where a tight flow of air and fuel goes through strengthened ports, sweeping out hot gases with equal effectiveness, thereby resulting in responsive throttle reactions and lower operating temperatures. Made of cast iron on the earlier cars and of lightweight aluminum on the later ones, it is hard to bend and can lose heat rapidly, thus power is gained without the banging that might have been expected. It is firmly clamped by torque-to-yield bolts against the block so that the gasket won't be forced open by the combustion pressure, the coolant flow, or the oil passages, and allow leaks that cause misfires or overheating and dangerous conditions. The unit is compatible with all body styles in the 850 series, including the sensible saloon and estate car and the lively T-5R and R models, with which it offers a consistent fit that makes sourcing and fitting simple. The design of the head has the history of Volvo manufacturing in its trusted design, power, and life of daily use and spirited runs. Its aluminum version, which Volvo developed to replace the previous cast iron, dissipates heat more quickly and allows more compression to be made without detonation, with the same amount of extra horsepower but without extra weight. This detailing respects the Volvo tradition of safety, as a correctly sealed combustion chamber will keep out the intrusion of coolant that could otherwise interfere with braking or steering functions due to heat soak. The choice of a sound Cylinder Head will keep an 850 running well over several years, maintain the enviable fuel economy, and retain the driver confidence that the Swedish marque is known to have.
