Engine Component View
The concept of modularity allows engine designs to share concepts and hardware. The illustrations represent the basic cross sectional view of a modular V8 engine.
The four modules are:
^ intake module
^ cylinder head module (RH)
^ cylinder head module (LH)
^ lower engine module
Due to the modular design, most out-of-vehicle repairs benefit in reduction of time and labor needed to repair the engine.
Bi-fuel vehicles differ from gasoline vehicles through the addition of hardened valves and valve seats.
The basic engine components consist of:
^ single overhead camshafts
^ two valves per cylinder
^ balance shaft
^ sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI)
^ aluminum cylinder heads
^ cast-iron, 90 degree V-cylinder block
^ individual ignition coils for each spark plug
^ two-piece intake manifold system
^ composite-material lower intake manifold
^ large-bore throttle body
