A cylinder head directs air/fuel into the cylinder and seals off the top of the cylinder. By controlling the size and shape of the runners and size/number of valves can makes the cylinder better suited for a certain power/displacement range. Bigger isn't always better as too large of a runner can reduce low-end hp/tq due to low velocity of the air/fuel mixture. The cylinder head's combustion chamber is a major part of the engine's compression ratio which has a large effect on engine efficiency, torque/hp and fuel octane requirement.
