Cylinder Head

CYLINDER HEAD



The four valve (per-cylinder) head is based on the M62 design and is of single piece construction as compared to the S38 cylinder head of the E34 M5. HVA (hydraulic tappets) are used to actuate the valves. Newly designed aluminum valve covers are adapted to the intake plenum and VANOS assemblies.

The cylinder head gasket is a new steel version.

The cylinder head uses a cross flow coolant design. the coolant enters from the block on the exhaust side and exits through three openings between the cylinders on the intake side.
