The cylinder head is made of cast aluminum alloy for better strength in hardness with lightweight, and camshaft and rocker arm shaft arranged in-line support.

The combustion chambers are formed into the manifold combustion chambers with increased squish parts for better combustion efficiency and its intake and exhaust parts are installed in the cross flow arrangement. The rocker arm operates in seesaw motion to close and open the intake and exhaust valves with camshaft by turning the rocker arm shaft of each intake and exhaust part.

As the largest part of the engine components. the block has all the necessary parts attached to outer surface of it.

On the inside surface of block, there are bore surfaces by horning, which are cylinders, and on the periphery of the cylinders, there are the passages to prevent the over-heated and to lubricate the engine block.

The crankshaft is to convert the rectilinear motion into the rotation motion through the connecting rod which transmits the power generated by combustion.

On the one side of it, oil pump, crankshaft pulley and timing belt pulley are attached, and oil seal housing and flywheel are on the other side.

A special steel of high grade cast iron is used for the material to stand the bending load and distortion. The material of the main bearing is aluminum alloy. The split thrust bearings are inserted in the journal bearing part.

The connecting rods are made of forged steel, and its section is typed "Ι" with its big end connected to crankshaft and its small end to piston pin to transmit the power.

The big end is detachable, and its upper and lower parts are fastened by bolting after the metal bearings are inserted.

The piston is of the open skirt type and its crown is exposed in the combustion chamber to generate power. Its land and skirt parts are made of coat aluminum alloy which is light and has excellent heat conductivity in order to meet its continuous and high speed reciprocation movement.

It is composed of two compression rings and one oil ring and installed between the grooves of the piston to make the high speed reciprocating movement maintaining a remarkable air tightness as well as cylinders. It is a critical parts to affect the compression pressure, oil consumption, compression, blow by pressure and engine performance.

The pin is not fixed to the piston or connecting rod and its both ends are assembled by the circlip in the full floating type. The pin is used to transmit the power from the crown part of piston to connecting rod.

The timing belt connects the camshaft timing pulley and the crankshaft timing pulley. The timing belt coordinates the crankshaft and the camshaft and keeps them synchronized. The timing belt also turns the coolant pump. The timing belt and the pulleys are toothed so that there is no slippage between them. There is a tension pulley that maintains the correct timing belt tension. The timing belt is made of a tough reinforced rubber similar to that used on the serpentine drive belt. The timing belt requires no lubrication.

This is to absorb or reduce the engine vibration and impact from the wheeled road. Engine mount is attached to the engine-front side, the engine-right side and the engine-rear side and one transaxle mount is attached to the transaxle side.

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is used tolower oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emission levels causedby high combustion temperatures. The main element ofthe system is the EGR valve which is operated electrically by the ECM.

The EGR valve feeds small amounts of exhaust gas intothe intake manifold to decrease the combustion temperature.The amount of exhaust gas recirculated is controlledby variations in electrical signal and exhaust backpressure. If too much exhaust gas enters, combustionwill not take place. For this reason, very little exhaustgas is allowed to pass through the valve, especially atidle.

The EGR valve is controlled precisely by ECM according to various operating condition of the engine.
