Abstract
An improved porting and cylinder head arrangement for a multi-valve overhead valve internal combustion engine. The porting arrangement in the cylinder head permits the use of two separate and relatively large intake passages beneath which a fuel injector can be conveniently positioned without obstruction of the shape or configuration of these intake passages. A separate control valve body is fixed to the cylinder head for controlling the flow through the intake passages independently of each other while providing a common intake that can be valved by a single throttle valve.
