Engine Component View

The concept of modularity allows engine designs to share concepts and hardware. The following illustration represents the basic cross sectional view of a modular V10 engine. The four modules are:

• intake module
• cylinder head module (RH)
• cylinder head module (LH)
• lower engine module

Due to the modular design, most out-of-vehicle repairs benefit in reduction of time and labor needed to repair the engine.

Bi-fuel vehicles differ from gasoline vehicles through the addition of hardened valves and valve seats.

The basic engine components consist of:

• single overhead camshafts
• two valves per cylinder
• balance shaft
• sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI)
• aluminum cylinder heads
• cast-iron, 90 degree V-cylinder block
• individual ignition coils for each spark plug
• two-piece intake manifold system
• composite-material lower intake manifold
• large-bore throttle body
