Cylinder head, spark plug, and piston configuration

摘要

In an internal combustion engine, the combination of a cylinder head with a plane lower surface and a cavity, a piston with a plane upper surface and a cavity, the plane surfaces of the piston and the cylinder head cooperating to form a squish area on one side of the cylinder bore, and a spark plug protruding into the combustion chamber defined by the cavities so that its igniting tip lies substantially in the squish plane on the other side of the cylinder bore.
