Abstract: A single piece, installation indicating clip to secure a foam part to a substrate is provided. The clip includes a pair of spaced apart and opposed curvilinear retention clip arms, a planar foam part retaining member, a bridge having first and second ends, and an installation indicator. The insulation part is captured between the planar foam part retaining member and the clip arms. The installation indicator includes a movable indicator pin. The pin is provided within a pin enclosure having a biasing member that urges the pin to its retracted position. A portion of the pin extends between the clip arms. Upon attachment of the retention clip to the fluid line, the indicator pin is pushed by the fluid line from its retracted position to its attachment indicating position, thereby visually verifying to the installer that successful installation of the retention clip has been made.

Abstract: A modular integrated intake manifold (10) for a V-type internal combustion engine (20). A fuel module (16) nests between cylinder heads (28, 30) and has through-passages (42) leading to intake valves in the heads. An air cleaner module (12), which has an air box (60) within which intake air is filtered, also closes on one of the heads (28) to cover the exhaust and intake valves and the valve operating mechanisms of that head. A plenum/runner module (14) has a plenum that closes on the other of the heads (30) to cover the exhaust and intake valves and the valve operating mechanisms of that head. Runners (160, 162, 164, 172, 174, 176) have respective combustion air entrances disposed within a plenum chamber space (142) of the plenum and run to the through-passages of the fuel module. The runners are part of a runner pack (132) that has both complete (160, 162, 164) and incomplete (166, 168, 170) runners and that when assembled into the plenum, completes the incomplete runners.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine with charge stratification and directed air flow is provided. A charge motion control valve is positioned in the upper intake manifold and bifurcated intake ports are utilized in the cylinder head which direct the air flow into one intake port when desired. This provides improved engine performance, emissions, and fuel economy with easier packaging and consequently reduced cost.
