Cylinder Block

The engine block is cast in aluminum using the lost-foam process and has 4 in-line cylinders. The cylinders have press-fitted iron liners. The block has 5 crankshaft bearings with the thrust bearing located on the second bearing from the front of the engine. The cylinder block incorporates a bedplate design that forms an upper and lower crankcase. This design promotes cylinder block rigidity and reduced noise and vibration.
