Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to an internal combustion engine cylinder head. In one example embodiment, the cylinder head includes a combustion chamber, a fire deck, an intermediate deck remote from a combustion chamber, a central receptacle that receives an injection or ignition device, at least one valve bridge, at least two adjacent gas exchange valves, a top-down cooling system, at least one first transfer opening, and at least one second transfer opening. The top-down cooling system including a first sub-cooling chamber and a second sub-cooling chamber. The at least one first transfer opening positioned between the first sub-cooling chamber and the second sub-cooling chamber. The at least one second transfer opening positioned between the first sub-cooling chamber and the second sub-cooling chamber is arranged in the region in the region of the at least one valve bridge between the at least two adjacent gas exchange valves.
