Engine Component View

The concept of modularity allows engine designs to share commonization between concepts and engine hardware. The illustration (modular engine-typical) represents the basic cross sectional view of a modular V8 engine. The four modules are the:

• Intake Module
• Cylinder Head Module (RH)
• Cylinder Head Module (LH)
• Lower Engine Module

The modular engine concept supports efficiencies during repairs by allowing the removal and installation of these modules. While not all in-vehicle repairs can take advantage of the modular concept, most out-of-vehicle repairs benefit in reduction of time and labor needed to repair the engine.

The basic engine components consist of:

• Single Overhead Camshafts (6250)
• Two Valves Per Cylinder
• Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection (SFI)
• Aluminum Cylinder Heads (6049)
• Cast Iron, 90-Degree V-Cylinder Block (6010)
• Individual Ignition Coils (12029) For Each Spark Plug
• Composite-Material Lower Intake Manifold (9424) With Noise Insulator
• Large-Bore Throttle Body (9E926)
