CYLINDER HEAD
DESCRIPTION
The cylinder head is made of high temperature
resistant aluminum alloy and features optimized spi-ral swirl intake ducts and a separate camshaft hous-
ing made of die cast aluminum. The combustion
chamber features four valves per cylinder, central
injectors and glow plugs arranged slant wise. The
intake and exhaust valves have solid valve stems and
conical valve springs. The cylinder head is not ser-
viceable and must be replaced should a repair
become necessary.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
