DESCRIPTION
Otto cycle – 4 intake stroke engine, 12 V cylinders at 60°; timing system with 4 valves for each cylinder, double overhead camshaft
controlled by double chain, phase variator on intake, indirect MPI injection (one injector for each cylinder), static electronic ignition
(one coil per cylinder), liquid cooling with double radiator, forced lubrication with oil radiator, exhaust six in two in one with catalyst.
Aluminium alloy and H+T silicon “open deck” type crankcase with wet inserted liners.
Steel alloy liners with Nikasil treated internal surfaces. This treatment ensures a very high surface hardness.
This type of liner cannot be lapped.
Cr Mo hardened and tempered steel crankshaft, the working surfaces are hardened by gaseous nitriding. The crankshaft bearings
are smooth. The main bearing caps are integrated in a block structure to give maximum stiffness.
Each time the crankshaft is undersized, it is most important to restore the surface hardness by the special heat treatment.
Titanium alloy connecting rods with modular head, smooth bearings at big and small ends.
The pistons are in pressed light alloy with three rings, two seals and one oil scraper.
The cylinder heads are aluminium alloy and H+T silicon, with bronze valve guides and cast iron valve seats.
The timing system consists of two overhead camshafts for each cylinder bank, controlled by double chains with phase variator on
the intake shafts.
Motion is transmitted directly from the crankshaft to two gear wheels by means of a double chain. Each of these gear wheels in its
turn controls the two camshafts of each head by means of double chains.
The chain tension is ensured by hydraulic chain tighteners that operate with the lubrication circuit oil.
The cooling system with two cooling radiators is a closed loop system with forced circulation by a centrifugal pump belt driven by
the crankshaft.
The lubrication is forced by a gear pump with a vented gas recycling system and radiator to cool the oil.

Cylinder numbering and direction of crankshaft rotation
The engine rotation is anticlockwise (as seen from the timing side).
The engine cylinder banks are defined as right and left hand as seen from the flywheel.
The No. 1 cylinder is the first of the left hand cylinder bank near the flywheel, the numbering continues following a U towards the
right hand cylinder bank.
