Types of cylinder head
The cylinder head may be classified depending upon the layout of valves and ports. There are mainly three types – Loop-flow type, offset cross-flow type, or in-line cross-flow type.
In the loop-flow design, the inlet & exhaust manifolds are on the same side which helps pre-heating of the intake air.
However, when the inlet and exhaust manifolds are on different sides of the cylinder head, it is an offset cross-flow type. Additionally, this arrangement provides lower exhaust valve temperatures.
The inline cross-flow type positions the valves transversely and inclined to each other. However, the inlet and exhaust manifolds are on different sides of the head. This arrangement provides better performance; however, it is costlier.
How to Calculate Maximum Pitch of Studs for Cylinder Head?
Maximum Pitch of Studs for Cylinder Head calculator uses Pitch of Engine Studs = 28.5*sqrt(Nominal Diameter of Cylinder Head Stud) to calculate the Pitch of Engine Studs, The maximum pitch of studs for cylinder head is the maximum distance between two consecutive studs used in cylinder head assembly. Pitch of Engine Studs is denoted by p symbol.
