Cylinder Head Assembly: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION

The aluminum cylinder heads (Figure 1) are designed to create high flow combustion chambers to improve performance, while minimizing the change to the burn rate in the chamber. The cylinder head incorporates the combustion chamber. Two valves per-cylinder are used with inserted valve seats and guides. A multi-layer steel (MLS) type gasket is used between the cylinder head and engine block.
