CONSTRUCTION
The cylinder head structure is simplified by separating the cam journal portion (camshaft housing sub-assembly) from the cylinder head.

The cylinder head sub-assembly, 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.
Long nozzle type fuel injector assemblies are installed in the cylinder head sub-assembly to reduce the distance from injector to intake valve, thus preventing the fuel from adhering to the intake port walls, and reducing HC exhaust emissions.
