ABSTRACT:
A V-type four-stroke cycle internal combustion engine is provided with an exhaust manifold disposed in the valley of the V-shaped engine. The exhaust from the cylinders passes through the cylinder heads to an exhaust collection cavity formed in the exhaust manifold. The manifold is provided with water jackets above and below the exhaust collecting cavity to cool exhaust collected therein. An air intake manifold is also provided in the valley of the V-shaped engine, located above and adjacent the exhaust manifold. The air intake manifold has a central cavity, with induction tubes extending from the manifold to outside the valley of the V-engine for introducing air to the cylinders therefrom. The induction tubes provide induction tuning to the engine, to increase the torque provided by the engine. The arrangement of the engine components provides compact packaging for a V-type engine.
