A cooling apparatus for an integrated exhaust manifold includes: a first cooling jacket configured to surround a portion of an exhaust manifold; and a second cooling jacket configured to surround another portion of the exhaust manifold. The first cooling jacket includes a first portion sitting atop the second cooling jacket and a second portion adjacent the second cooling jacket and positioned lower than the first portion.

Cooling strategy for engine head with integrated exhaust manifold

Systems and methods for ventilating engine crankcase gases are described. In one example, crankcase gases flow from a first cylinder bank to a second cylinder bank via tubes placed between exhaust gas manifold runners. The systems and method may improve crankcase gas ventilation.

Integrated positive crankcase ventilation vent

A system for processing PCV gases is disclosed. In one example, the system includes an oil passage solely linking an oil separator to an engine crankcase. The system can provide an oil column that provides for continuous oil return from the oil separator to the engine crankcase even during conditions of higher levels of engine vacuum.
