Abstract
An internal combustion engine cam drive arrangement and coolant manifold. The engine comprises an engine body that is formed with an coolant opening that is circumscribed by a flexible transmitter that drives cam shafts from the engine crankshaft. A coolant manifold communicates with this opening and overlies in part the flexible transmitter. At least a major part of the remaining portion of the flexible transmitter is covered by a timing cover. The timing cover and the coolant manifold each may be removed from the engine body independently of the other.
