Chery SQR473F Cylinder Head Assembly – A1 / A3 / QQ6 / Riich M1 / Kimo / X1
This Chery SQR473F cylinder head assembly is a brand new, factory-fresh replacement for the 1.3-litre petrol engine used across the A1, A3, QQ6, Riich M1, Kimo and X1 ranges. It is supplied with valves and camshafts fitted according to your confirmed stock configuration — the standard OE reference is 473H-1003015MA (and the related 473H-1003015MB for Riich M1 applications), but aftermarket suppliers also sell bare and valves-only variants, so confirm your stock physically before ordering.
The SQR473F is the 1.3-litre member of Chery’s ACTECO engine family, developed with technical cooperation from AVL and fitted to a wide range of compact models from the mid-2000s onward. It is a DOHC 16-valve design with an aluminium cylinder head and chain-driven camshafts, producing between 61 kW and 64 kW depending on market calibration. These engines remain in daily service across China, Russia, South America, the Middle East and Africa, and the cylinder head is a documented replacement item on high-mileage or overheated examples.
What’s Included – Fitted to the Head (Confirmed Configuration Only)
- Complete cylinder head casting — precision-machined and pressure-tested
- 16 valves — intake and exhaust, heat-resistant (4 per cylinder) — if your stock is a valves-installed or fully assembled version
- Valve springs, spring seats and retainers — if valves are fitted
- Valve stem seals and valve guides — fitted
- DOHC camshafts — intake and exhaust — only if your stock is a fully assembled configuration; bare and valves-only heads do not include camshafts
- Camshaft bearing caps — torqued to specification — if camshafts are fitted
- Core plugs and oil gallery plugs — installed
What you transfer from your original head: camshafts and bearing caps (if not included in your stock), hydraulic lifters, valve cover, timing chain kit, head bolts (always fit new stretch bolts), head gasket and remaining gaskets, fuel injectors, spark plugs, ignition coils, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and any sensors or brackets mounted to the head.
