Cylinder Head Assembly: Description and Operation

Cylinder head





The cylinder head is made of aluminum and has four valves per cylinder. The combustion chambers are pentroof type. Two camshafts are mounted in the cylinder head with four bearing caps. The bearing cap closest to the camshaft sprocket has cast ducts for transferring oil to the CVCP pinion of the intake camshaft.

The cylinder heads also house a position sensor for the intake camshaft and valves for CVCP control.
