CYLINDER HEAD MOUNTING APPARATUS FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES

摘要

A V-engine includes angularly oriented cylinder banks with an outer enclosing rectangular cooling jacket wall and outwardly opening cylinders closed by an outer cylinder head. Bolt attaching lugs are integrally formed on the exterior of the cylinder walls within the cooling chamber and are spaced from the jacket wall to maintain a continuous cooling passageway. The head is bolted to the cylinder block at such lugs. The inner and outer vertical edges of the head are beveled with the outer edge reducing the overall width and inner edge increasing the spacing between the cylinder banks.
