According to valve

arrangement
 1) T- Head Engine
• All valves are located
on both side of the
cylinder block.
• This type is used in
early models of
automobile
 2) L – Head Engine
• It has it’s intake and exhaust
valves located at one side of
the cylinder block
• The valves are directly
operated by tappets and cam
followers.
• There is only one cam shaft,
simple in construction and can
be built in low height.
 F – Head Engine
• It’s intake valves are located in the
cylinder head and operated by push rods
and rochet arms while the exhaust valves
are located on one side of the cylinder
block and are operated by cam followers
and tappets.
• There is only one cam shaft
• It permits large intake valve for improve
volume of fuel charge.
• It is a combination of the I – head engine
and the L – head engine.
 I – Head Engine
• All intake and exhaust valves are
mounted in the cylinder head
• This type of arrangement can
obtain higher volumetric
efficientcy and mean effective
pressure.
• It is due to capacity designed
combustion chamber.
• Thermal efficiency is also achieve
in this design.
 Overhead Camshaft (OHC)
• Improved version of I – Head
Engine
• Push rod and cam followers
are eliminated
• There is usually a timing chain
or belt connecting the
camshaft and crankshaft.
 Double Overhead Cars (DOHC)
• Latest model of cars
equipped with.
• One set of cars operate
the intake valves and the
other set the exhaust
valves.
