ABSTRACT:
A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine (ICE) includes a lower cooling jacket, an upper cooling jacket and an exhaust manifold disposed therebetween. The exhaust manifold enables exhaust of combustion gas from cylinders of the ICE. The lower cooling jacket has coolant flow paths in fluid communication with coolant flow paths of a cylinder block of the ICE. Coolant flow paths of the upper cooling jacket are in fluid communication with those of the lower cooling jacket through one of a plurality of passages. The passages can be selectively plugged to define coolant flow direction through the cylinder head. The upper and lower cooling jackets are in heat exchange relationship with surfaces of the exhaust manifold to cool exhaust gas flowing therethrough.
