Introduction The Cylinder Head is made of a single casting. It

is bolted on the top of the Cylinder Block. It has passages for oil and water circulation. It accommodates valves, spark plugs/ injectors (in case of the diesel engines) and heater plug. A combustion chamber is also provided in some

cylinder heads. In case of the overhead valve system, the

cylinder head supports the rocker shaft assembly.

The lower surface of the cylinder head is machined to the specified accuracy and a gasket is used in between the cylinder head and cylinder block to avoid leakage.

MATERIAL OF CYLINDER HEADS:CAST IRON

ALUMINIUM ALLOY

Four types of cylinder heads are used in an automobile engine as per the valve arrangements.

TYPES OF CYLINDER HEAD

Page 6: Engine Valves Arrangements

•L-HEAD  —The   intake   and   the exhaust valves are both located on the same side of the piston and cylinder. •The valve operating mechanism is located directly below the valves, and one camshaft actuates both the intake and the exhaust valves .(Eg. Dodge)

Arrangement of Valves•The majority of internal combustion engines also are  classified  according  to  the  arrangement of the intake and exhaust valves, whether the valves are located in the cylinder head or cylinder block.

Page 7: Engine Valves Arrangements

•I-HEAD —The   intake   and   the exhaust valves are both mounted in a cylinder head  directly  above  the  cylinder.  

•This arrangement requires a tappet, a pushrod, and a rocker arm above the cylinder to reverse the direction of valve movement. •The valves are operated by a single cam shaft through the tappet, pushrod and rocker arm mechanism. •It was rapidly superseded by the overhead camshaft. •Eg. Ambassador, Ashok Leyland.

‘I’ HEAD

•The  intake  valves  are normally located in the head, while the exhaust valves are located in the engine block.•The valves are operated by single cam shaft.•The intake valves in the head are actuated from the camshaft through tappets, pushrods, and rocker arms. •The exhaust valves are actuated directly by tappets on the camshaft.•Eg. Mahindra Jeep CJ-3V Model

‘F’ HEAD

Page 10: Engine Valves Arrangements

The  intake  and  the exhaust valves are located on opposite sides of the cylinder in the engine block.Two camshafts are used to operate the valves, one for inlet and the other for exhaust.The valves operated by the tappet directly.each requires their own camshaft. Eg. Ford.

SINGLE OVERHEAD CAMSHAFT•The  camshaft  is  located  in  the cylinder  head.  •The  intake  and  the  exhaust  valves are  both  operated  from  a  common  camshaft.  •The valve train may be arranged to operate directly through the lifters, as shown in view A, or by rocker  arms,  as  shown  in  view  B.  •This configuration  is  becoming  popular  for  passenger car gasoline engines.

Page 13: Engine Valves Arrangements

DOUBLE OVERHEAD CAMSHAFT • When   the   double   overhead camshaft is used, the intake and the exhaust valves each operate from separate camshafts directly through the lifters. •It provides excellent engine  performance  and  is  used  in  more expensive automotive applications.

Cam Shaft Material: Forged from alloy steel or cast from hardenable cast iron and is case hardened.Construction: Consists a number of cams at suitable angular positions for operating the valves at appox. timings relative to the piston movement in a sequence according to the selected firing order.Functions: Provides a means of actuating the opening and controlling the period before closing, both for the inlet as well as the exhaust valves. Also provides a drive for ignition distributor and mechanical fuel pump.

Page 16: Engine Valves Arrangements

Cam Shaft Drive The Camshaft rotates at half the crankshaft speed so as to open and close the valves once in every two revolutions of crankshaft. Drive is either a chain drive or gear drive. Camshaft gear or sprocket wheel is twice as large as the crankshaft or sprocket wheel, consists of timing marks on the sprockets or gears of the camshaft and the crankshaft to ensure correct valve timing. Latest type of drive is made of toothed rubber belt, since they are relatively silent and need no lubrication.

Page 17: Engine Valves Arrangements

Valve TappetThe Valve tappet i.e. cam follower follows the shape of the cam lobe on the camshaft. Location: placed in between the push rod and the cam.Function: Converts angular movement of the cam into a reciprocating motion in the valve train. Push RodFunction: Serves to transmit the reciprocating motion of the valve lifter to the rocker arm. It also serves as a passage for oil for lubrication of the valve actuating mechanisms.

Rocker Arm & Rocker ShaftFunction: To reverse the upward motion of the push rod to downward motion of the valve and vice versa.
