^ Combustion chamber in the cylinder head is a compact, pentroof design and spark plug is located at the center of combustion chamber which feature a wide "squish" area for increased combustion efficiency.
^ Four valves (two intake and two exhaust), which are arranged in a cross-flow design, are used per cylinder.
^ The cylinder head gasket is made from carbon material (not asbestos). Its core is metal provided with metal hooks to increase resistance to both heat and wear.
^ The inner side of grommets used in the cylinder bore are reinforced with wire to withstand both high combustion pressure and temperature.
