Abstract
This disclosure relates to a turbocharged reciprocating piston type of internal combustion engine. The engine includes a block, a head fastened to the upper side of the block, and a rocker housing fastened to the upper side of the head. The head has intake air and exhaust passages formed in it between intake and exhaust openings and intake and exhaust ports of the engine cylinders. The turbocharger is mounted on one side of the engine block, and the exhaust openings are in the head on the same side as the turbocharger. Exhaust manifold ducts connect the exhaust openings with the turbocharger. The intake openings are formed in the upper surface of the head and air intake passages are formed in the rocker housing. An air intake duct and manifold connect the turborcharger with the passages of the housing. The intake air passages of the head are formed and located to provide an advantageous heat transfer relation between the intake air and the surrounding engine ports.
