Engine Component View
The concept of modularity allows engine designs to share concepts and hardware. The following illustrations represent the modular V10 engine. The four modules are
- intake module
- cylinder head module (RH)
- cylinder head module (LH)
- lower engine module
Due to the modular design, 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
- two valves per cylinder
- balance shaft
- sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI)
- aluminum cylinder heads
- cast-iron, 90-degree V-cylinder block
- individual ignition coils for each spark plug
- two-piece intake manifold system
- composite-material lower intake manifold
- large-bore throttle body
