Daewoo F8CV Cylinder Head Assembly – Matiz / Spark / Tico / Damas

This Daewoo F8CV cylinder head assembly is a brand new, factory-fresh replacement for the 0.8-litre inline-3 petrol engine used across the Matiz, Spark, Tico and Damas ranges. It is supplied with valves and camshaft fitted — intake and exhaust valves, springs, retainers, stem seals, guides and the SOHC camshaft are already installed, so the head arrives ready for installation after transferring your external components.

The F8CV is the 0.8-litre three-cylinder engine developed by Daewoo and derived from the Suzuki F8B architecture, marketed as the A08S3 on Chevrolet-badged models. It is a SOHC 6-valve design with an aluminium cylinder head and a belt-driven camshaft, producing 27–38 kW (44–52 PS) depending on market calibration. These engines remain in daily service across Eastern Europe, Russia, South America, the Middle East and Asia, and the cylinder head is a documented replacement item on high-mileage or timing-belt failure examples.

What’s Included – Fitted to the Head

• Complete cylinder head casting — precision-machined and pressure-tested
• 6 valves — intake and exhaust, heat-resistant (2 per cylinder)
• Valve springs, spring seats and retainers
• Valve stem seals and valve guides — fitted
• Camshaft — SOHC, 6-valve profile
• Rocker arms and rocker shaft — fitted
• Camshaft bearing caps — torqued to specification
• Core plugs and oil gallery plugs — installed

What you transfer from your original head: valve cover, timing belt kit, head bolts (always fit new stretch bolts), head gasket and remaining gaskets, fuel injectors, spark plugs, ignition leads or coil pack, intake manifold, exhaust manifold and any sensors or brackets mounted to the head.
