cylinder head cover

Aluminium is also used for the timing chain case and cylinder head cover.

The crankcase ventilation valve is incorporated in the aluminum cylinder head cover.

The locomotive's marker lights, headlight, handrails, coupler lifting rods, cylinder head covers, and back valve chambers were nickel plated.

The cylinder head is a single unit for all cylinders, and the cylinder head cover and air intake are shared by a single cast aluminum alloy.

To lower the engine's weight, Mitsubishi used die-cast aluminium for the cylinder block, plastic for the cylinder head cover and intake manifold, and stainless steel for the exhaust manifold.

M+H has, for example, developed and started serial production of a cylinder head cover made from such material - in this case, consisting of waste and over-production polyamide fibres from the carpet manufacturing industry.

Changes included a lower compression ratio, special pistons, high-strength valves, higher-pressure springs (to avoid float), better-sealing rings, a special cam, select-fit bearings, a special exhaust manifold, and a diecast aluminum cylinder head cover.

The responsive V8 with its red-painted cylinder head covers accelerates the RS 4 Avant from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 4.7 seconds on its way to a governed top speed of 250 km/h (155.34 mph).
