First, let’s keep it simple—this isn’t just a “metal cover” for your Chery QQ’s engine. It’s the engine’s “top seal and control center” , a heavy-duty aluminum component bolted directly onto the QQ’s 372-series engine block (the part where fuel burns). Think of it as the engine’s “upper lid”: its main jobs are to seal the combustion chamber (so high-pressure gas from burning fuel doesn’t leak out), hold key parts like valves and spark plugs, and help cool the engine (via built-in channels for coolant). Without it, your QQ’s engine would lose power, leak oil/gas, or overheat in minutes—total engine failure.
This cylinder head is exclusively made for Chery QQ models with the 372 engine—always confirm your QQ’s engine type and VIN to be sure! It’s tailored to fit perfectly: its bolt holes line up exactly with the 372 engine block (no forced installation), its internal channels match the engine’s coolant flow (prevents overheating), and its valve seats (where valves sit) are sized for the QQ’s original valves (no air leaks). Grab a generic cylinder head? You’ll run into disaster: it won’t seal the combustion chamber (loses power), misaligns with valves (causes engine misfires), or can’t handle the 372 engine’s pressure (cracks under use).
It’s make-or-break for your QQ’s engine—here are 4 key things it does:
Seal the combustion chamber: When fuel burns in the engine block, it creates intense pressure. The cylinder head clamps down (with a gasket) to trap this pressure, so it pushes the pistons (which makes the car move) instead of leaking out.
Hold critical engine parts: It has pre-drilled holes for spark plugs (to ignite fuel) and slots for valves (intake valves let air/fuel in; exhaust valves let smoke out). It also has guides to keep valves moving straight.
Cool the engine: It has tiny channels inside that let coolant flow through. This soaks up heat from the combustion chamber and carries it to the radiator—preventing the engine from getting too hot.
Control air/fuel flow: The valve seats (smooth metal rings inside the head) ensure valves close tightly. This stops unburned fuel from escaping (saves gas) and keeps exhaust smoke from flowing back into the engine (reduces emissions).

This 372-1003010BA cylinder head only fits Chery QQs with the 372-series engine—seriously, if it’s the wrong fit, your engine’s toast.
Any Chery QQ that uses the 372 engine. It lines up with the engine block’s bolt holes, matches the valve size, and works with the coolant system—just double-check your VIN to be 100% sure.
Chery QQs with other engines (like the 372 series): The block’s too big/small, and the valves don’t line up. It won’t attach right, and even if you force it, it won’t work.
Other Chery models (think Arrizo 5 or Tiggo7 Pro): Their engines are way bigger or smaller—this 372 head is too tiny or too bulky for ’em.
Non-Chery cars: Even if it looks similar, the engine block’s specs are totally different. You’ll end up with huge, messy leaks that’ll wreck things.
Installing this thing takes precision—if you try to DIY, you’ll destroy your QQ’s engine. Here’s how the pros do it:
First, prep the engine: They drain out the coolant and oil, take out parts like the camshaft and valves (to get to the old cylinder head), then unbolt the old head from the block.
Clean and check: They wipe off all the old gasket gunk from the engine block and look for cracks—if the block’s damaged, they fix that first (otherwise, the new head won’t seal).
Put the new head on: They slap a new head gasket down (super important for sealing!), lower the 372-1003010BA into place, and tighten the bolts in a specific order (Chery has exact rules for this—mess up the order, and the head bends).
Put everything back and test: They reinstall the valves, camshaft, and spark plugs, refill the coolant and oil, then start the engine. They’ll check for leaks, make sure it doesn’t overheat, and confirm it’s not misfiring.
Check for leaks every month: Keep an eye out for oil or coolant stains around the cylinder head. If you see ’em, the gasket’s going bad—fix it fast, or your engine will overheat.
Only use Chery-approved coolant: Cheap coolant clogs up the little channels inside the head. That causes hot spots, and the aluminum head will bend (super expensive to replace).
Never let the engine overheat: If your QQ’s temperature light comes on, pull over right away! Overheating bends the aluminum head—you’ll be stuck with a huge repair bill.
Get it serviced every 60,000 km: Have a tech check the valve seats and guides. If those wear out, you’ll get leaks and burn more gas than you need to.

This aluminum piece only fits Chery QQs with the 372-series engine—definitely check your VIN to be sure! It bolts right onto the engine block, and here’s what it does: seals the combustion chamber (keeps that pressure in so the engine makes power), holds the valves and spark plugs, and cools the engine down using little coolant channels inside.
Cheap off-brand ones are no good—they either bend out of shape, don’t line up right with the valves, or start leaking. You gotta have a pro put it in, too. For upkeep? Check every month for oil or coolant leaks, use only the coolant Chery recommends, and never let the engine overheat. Only the original one’ll keep your engine running reliably.
