CONSTRUCTION
The cylinder head structure is simplified by separating the cam journal portion (camshaft housing sub-assembly) from the cylinder head.
The cylinder head, which is made of aluminum, contains pentroof-type combustion chambers. The spark plug is located in the center of the combustion chamber in order to improve the engine's anti-knock performance.
A taper squish combustion chamber is used to improve anti-knock performance and intake efficiency. In addition, engine performance and fuel economy are improved.
The port configuration is an efficient cross-flow type in which the intake ports face the inside of the V bank and the exhaust ports face the outside.
A siamese type intake port is used. The port diameter gradually decreases toward the combustion chamber to optimize the airflow speed and intake pulsation.
