4-Valve Head Layout
These programs analyse the geometrical layout of a 4-valve cylinder head. They permit the basic design of four-valve cylinder heads in that the physical sizes of the valves are determined with respect to their clearances from each other, the dynamic motion of the piston, or the cylinder walls within a cylinder bore of a given size. The cutouts in the piston are also determined.
This information can then be used in the EXHAUST and INTAKE VALVE DESIGN Programs.
