The cylinder head is of the cross-flow type, (Cross-flow = in from one side and out from the other side).

The two camshafts are supported by seven bearing caps each, directly in the cylinder head and camshaft cover. The camshaft cover works like a combined valve cover and camshaft bearing cap. The camshaft cover has cast oil ducts on the underneath which ensure good oil supply to the camshafts and the valve lifters.

The maintenance-free valve lifters, valve springs and valves are in the cylinder head.
