An engine configuration includes an internal combustion engine with a plurality of cylinders, at least one turbocharger and a first and a second exhaust gas tract. A turbine of the at least one turbocharger is associated with the first exhaust gas tract. Increased torque and increased power can be achieved when a bypass exhaust gas line emerging from at least one cylinder, which is associated with the first exhaust gas tract, is connected to the first exhaust gas tract such that it bypasses the at least one turbocharger.

Engine configuration including an internal combustion engine

To simplify the manufacture of a cylinder head having at least one port liner surrounding a compression change passage, the port liner, a valve seat ring and a lift valve guide are welded together to make a unitary gas-passage-forming member and the cylinder head is cast around the gas-passage-forming member.
