Abstract: An intake air crossover arrangement for an internal combustion engine having two cylinder banks in a V-shaped arrangement in which air compressed by at least one, and preferably two, turbochargers, is delivered via air ducts to respective intake manifolds for each cylinder bank wherein the air ducts twist at least in the crossover region and have a cross-sectional shape such that they sit in flat contact with one another, preferably by use of an integrally formed crossover pipe containing portions of both ducts. The crossover pipe may further include integral connections for exhaust gas recirculation respectively for each duct.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine having a cylinder head and a cam cover, which are sealed with one another at mutually facing joint surfaces by means of a gasket, the cylinder head having at least one cut-out extending through the wall of the cylinder head at the joint surface facing the cam cover further includes a gasket has a projection extending into the cut-out which sealingly closes the cut-out and the gasket has at least one side-face projecting lip disposed on a side face of the projection to engage laterally around an edge of the cooperating cut-out.
