1.3 Engine Serial Number
The engine serial number is located on the machined pad
(1) at the left-hand rear of the cylinder block.
The following is a breakdown of the engine serial number,
using an example of 10H7E H051230001:
• 10 = Component ID (i.e. 10 = Assembly)
• H7E = Engine Broadcast Code
• H = Assembly Plant Code
• 05 = Build Year
• 123 = Julian Date
• 0001 = Four Digit Daily Sequence Number

1.4 Engine Construction
Cylinder Block
The cylinder block (1) is constructed from aluminium alloy
with cast-in-place iron cylinder bore liners.
Each of the four copper-inf iltrated sintered steel main
bearing caps are attached to the cylinder block by six bolts.
Along with two outer and two inner bolts, two side bolts are
used in the deep skirt block fo r increased block stiffness.
The crankshaft thrust bearing is mounted in the third main
bearing cap.
To prevent aeration, oil retu rn from the valve train and
cylinder heads is channelled away from the reciprocating
components through oil drain back passages incorporated
into the cylinder heads and engine block. Pressure
actuated piston oil cooling jets are mounted between
opposing cylinders.
Figure 6A1 – 14
Cylinder Heads
The cylinder heads (1) are semi-permanent mould cast
aluminium with powdered metal valve seat inserts and
valve guides.
Figure 6A1 – 15
Each cylinder head contains four valves per cylinder. The
valves (1) are actuated by the rocker arms (2) that pivot on
stationary hydraulic lash adjuste rs (3), which are oil-fed to
maintain valve / rocker lash.
The separate exhaust and intake camshafts are supported
by four bearings machined into the cylinder head. The front
camshaft bearing cap is used as a thrust control surface for
each camshaft.
A tube (4) is pressed into each cylinder head in three
places that shields each spark plug. An ignition coil
assembly is mounted directly on each spark plug, through
each spark plug tube.

Crankshaft
The crankshaft is a forged steel design with four main bearings. The number three main bearing controls crankshaft
thrust. A crankshaft position reluctor wheel is pressed onto the rear of the crankshaft, in front of the rear main journal.
The crankshaft is internally balanced with an integral oil pum p drive machined into the nose in front of the front main
journal.
Pistons, Pins and Connecting Rods
The piston assembly (1) is fitted with two low tension
compression rings and one multi-piece oil control ring. The
top compression ring is plasma sprayed, while the second
compression ring is cast iron Napier.
The oil control ring incorpor ates a steel expander and two
chrome plated steel rails.
The connecting rods are sint er forged steel and have full
floating piston pins. The piston pi ns are a slip-fit type, into
the bronze bushed connecting rods. Round wire retainers
are used to retain the piston pin into the piston.
The cast aluminium pistons incorporate a polymer coated
skirt to reduce friction.
