Chery SQR481F Cylinder Head Assembly – A3 / A5 / Tiggo / M11 / Eastar / Fora

This Chery SQR481F cylinder head assembly is a brand new, factory-fresh replacement for the 1.6-litre petrol engine used across the A3, A5, Tiggo, M11, Eastar and Fora ranges. It is supplied with valves and camshafts fitted according to your confirmed stock configuration — the raw casting blank is catalogued as 481FB-1003015MA, while the complete assembly is 481F-1003010BA or 481FB-BJ1003001C, so confirm your stock physically before ordering.

The SQR481F is the first 1.6-litre engine developed by Chery in cooperation with AVL, and it forms the backbone of the ACTECO 481-series family. It is a DOHC 16-valve design with an aluminium cylinder head and chain-driven camshafts, producing approximately 87.5 kW (119 PS) and 147 Nm of torque. These engines are still 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 complete assembly (481F-1003010BA / 481FB-BJ1003001C); the raw casting 481FB-1003015MA is a bare blank
• 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 complete assembly; the raw casting 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.
