Automotive cylinder head cylinders are separated by partitions with cut-outs or modified profiles to provide partial elasticity Automotive cylinder head

摘要

An automotive in-line cylinder head rests on an engine block crankcase with neighbouring cylinders partitioned by non-cooled walls. The cylinder head (1) has a cover (5), a base (6) and outer sidewalls (2) with holes for screw-fit studs that attach the head to the block. The partition walls (3) are thinner at their centre (8) than the sides, or incorporate stress-relief cut-outs.
