Cylinder Head Assembly: Description and Operation

Cylinder Head





^ The cylinder head is made of aluminum casting.
^ Each combustion chamber in the cylinder head is a compact, pentroof design. The spark plug is located at the center of the combustion chamber, which contributes to creation of a wide "squish area" for increased combustion efficiency.
^ The two intake and two exhaust valves are arranged on opposite sides for a cross-flow feature.
^ The cylinder head gasket is a metallic gasket consisting of three layers of the stainless steel sheets. The gasket is highly resistant to heat and maintains high level of sealing performance for a long period.
