Cylinder Head Assembly:

- The V8 engine has cast aluminium cylinder heads and cylinder block. The two banks of steel cylinder liners which are pressed down to stops in the block, are set at 90� to one another. The three ringed aluminium pistons transmit the power through the connecting rods to a cast iron five bearing crankshaft, which drives the centrally located camshaft via a duplex type chain.

- The electronic ignition distributor is driven by a gear off the front of the camshaft and the lubrication oil pump is driven by a gear off the front of the crankshaft. The overhead inlet and exhaust valves are operated by rocker shafts, pushrods and self adjusting hydraulic tappets.

- Multiport fuel injection ensures that engine performance, economy and exhaust emissions are automatically correct for the demands of highway and off road operation.
