Joseph, R C

This patent describes a cylinder head for an internal combustion engine, the cylinder head having a top surface, a bottom surface with means defining at least one combustion chamber therein, and opposite side surfaces, means defining an intake port leading to the combustion chamber from a side surface, and means defining an exhaust port leading from the combustion chamber to a side surface, the intake and exhaust ports extending upwardly at an angle relative to the bottom surface of the head through the head from the combustion chamber to the respective side surface and being substantially straight. It comprises the intake and exhaust ports being skewed in the head, leading angularly through the head from a respective side surface to the combustion chamber, the intake port having a generally rectangularly shaped inlet end in the head side surface, and the exhaust port having a generally rectangularly shaped outlet end in the head side surface, the inlet and outlet ends being tilted to one side in the plane of the side surface; an intake valve being provided in the intake port for controlling flow therethrough, and an exhaust valve being provided in the exhaust port for controlling flow therethrough, the intake port and exhaust ports being substantially axially aligned with the axes of the respective valves where the port enter the combustion chamber.
