Precision fuel metering at any speed.

The overhead camshafts provide highly efficient fuel charge delivery and a very favorable torque range.      Engine oil cooling by an air/oil heat exchanger next to the radiator. Fan with viscous coupling.      Forged crankshaft carried in five multi-layer, steel-backed bearings. Connecting rods carded in multi-layered, steel-backed bearings. Overhead camshafts driven by a noiseless Duplex chain with automatic adjustment.
