V-Type multi-cylinder internal combustion engine

摘要

A V-type multi-cylinder internal combustion engine has a horizontal joint plane between the cylinder block and the intake manifold. Cylinder heads are mounted on the two banks of cylinders and each cylinder head has an inclined surface cooperating with a similar surface on the intake manifold to form fluid tight joints between them. Engine coolant passes through these joints to circulate through a heating water jacket to heat passages in the intake manifold.
