Oil drains in a cylinder head serve to facilitate the efficient removal of excess engine oil that accumulates during operation. This helps maintain optimal oil levels in critical areas, preventing oil from pooling and potentially causing issues like hydraulic lifter failure or increased friction. By directing excess oil back to the oil pan, these drains ensure proper lubrication of the engine components and contribute to overall engine performance and longevity.
