Abstract
A cylinder head having an exhaust valve port comprising a throat defined by a wall of substantially circular cross section and a bevelled valve seat circumscribing the wall. The bevelled valve seat has an axially extending annular portion adapted to be engaged by a valve head to close the port, the bevelled valve seat extending axially outwardly from the axis of the throat at an angle to the wall. The improvement comprises the application of a small wall diverter within the exhaust port to force separation of the high temperature exhaust gas stream from the exhaust valve seat when the valve is open.
