A cylinder head gasket (3) is used between the engine block and the cylinder head in order to seal combustion gases, coolant, and oil. The inlet and exhaust ports are designed to improve air flow.The cylinder head assembly has two overhead valves (10) for each cylinder. Each valve is held in place by a single valve spring (9), a valve spring retainer (7), and two valve keepers (6). The cylinder head has steel valve seat inserts (4) for both the inlet and exhaust valves. The valves move in steel valve guides (1). Each valve guide is equipped with a synthetic rubber valve seal (8). The exhaust valve guides have a counterbore in order to prevent seizure of the valve stem that is caused by a buildup of carbon underneath the head of the valve. Both the valve seat inserts and the valve guides can be renewed.The overhead valves are operated by a rocker shaft assembly that is installed under a valve mechanism cover. The forged steel rocker arms are operated by cold drawn pushrods with hardened heads. The rocker shaft is supported by four steel brackets that support the rocker shaft between each pair of valves. The rocker shaft assembly and valve components are lubricated by an oil flow from the hollow rocker shaft. The rocker shaft receives a reduced oil flow from the oil feed of the camshaft.Valve lash is adjusted by adjustment screws and locknuts at the pushrod end of each rocker arm.The valve mechanism cover also contains an oil fill cap and breather pipe.Pistons and Connecting Rods

The piston crater ensures an efficient mix of fuel and air.Piston rings (1) consist of two compression rings and an oil control ring. The groove in the piston for the top ring has a hard metal insert that reduces wear of the groove. The piston has a full skirt. The fully floating piston pin (3) is held in an axial location by retaining rings (4). The piston pin is placed off-center in order to reduce the noise level.Some engines are equipped with piston cooling jets. The piston cooling jets are located on the main webs of the cylinder block. The piston cooling jets spray lubricating oil onto the inner surface of the piston in order to cool the piston.The correct piston height is important in order to ensure that the piston does not contact the cylinder head and that the fuel has efficient combustion. The pistons and connecting rods (6) are matched to each cylinder.The connecting rod and the connecting rod cap are machined on the surfaces in order to provide a smooth mating surface. The cap is held in position by a pair of bolts with nuts.Crankshaft
