In this study, three dimensional finite element model of a diesel engine cylinder head was made to accomplish heat transfer analysis and also thermal stress and deformation analysis. Heat release analysis and Nusselt-Reynolds relations were applied to determine the convective boundary conditions which is required for heat transfer analysis to calculate temperature distribution. Thermal stress distribution was also investigated in via of heat transfer analysis results. Steady state temperatures and heat fluxes were measured using K-type thermocouples and compared with numerical results to give a guarantee for the plausibility of numerical analyses.<br/>
