Abstract: A liquid-cooled, four-valve cylinder head for a multi-cylinder internal-combustion engine comprises a casting having a cooling-fluid space between the cylinder-head bottom and a cylinder-head cover in which supporting struts are arranged for reinforcing the cylinder-head bottom, valve channels of gas-reversing valves and chambers for receiving secondary combustion spaces. Above the cooling-fluid space is located a control space with guide housings for receiving the cup tappets for the actuation of the gas-reversing valves. In order to obtain a cylinder-head construction which is structurally rigid and nevertheless can easily be produced, the chambers are cast together with the valve channels within the cooling-fluid space. Further, the supporting struts are equipped with ribs projecting into adjacent combustion-space portions, and the lateral outer walls of the cylinder-head housing are connected to one another in the region of the control space by transverse booms.

Abstract: A cylinder head for air-compressing, self-ignition fuel-injection internal combustion engines has four valves per cylinder and an auxiliary combustion chamber between the inlet ducts of the inlet valves. In order to achieve a structurally stiff inclusion of the auxiliary combustion chamber in the cylinder head housing, the cylinder head top located between a coolant space and a control space is set at an angle in the transverse direction in such a way that the auxiliary combustion chambers are immediately adjacent to the cylinder head top and can be cast jointly with the cylinder head.

Abstract: A sealing passage arrangement for a pipeline through a wall aperture in a housing of an internal combustion-engine is disclosed. The sealing passage arrangement is attached so as to be sealed by its housing edge delimiting the open side of the housing on a receiving surface and is constructed so that the disassembly of the housing can be done without previously stripping down the pipeline. A pipe connection is provided inside the housing before the housing is assembled, and an arrangement of the seal element in the wall aperture which can be effected simply, are provided. It is proposed for this purpose to construct the housing aperture extending from the housing edge into the housing wall, to provide in the latter a two-part seal element, to arrange one part of the latter upright on the receiving surface and to bring it into engagement with the other part retained in the edge aperture and to extend the pipeline between the two seal element parts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for mounting two camshafts in the cylinder head of a multi-cylinder in-line internal combustion engine having especially four valves per cylinder, the device comprising bearing housings supported on the cylinder-head housing. To make it possible to provide a cylinder head with small valve angles and with more than four cylinder-head screws per cylinder, the bearing housings are accommodated in a camshaft bearing frame consisting of longitudinal and transverse webs and produced separately from the cylinder-head housing.
