General Information

Engine
A modular engine is built around four modules:
^ the intake module
^ the cylinder head module (RH)
^ the cylinder head module (LH)
^ the lower engine module While not all repairs can take advantage of the modular concept, most out-of-vehicle repairs benefit due to the reduction of necessary time and labor. The basic engine components consist of the following:
^ single overhead camshafts
^ two valves per cylinder
^ sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI)
^ aluminum cylinder heads
^ cast iron, 90-degree V-shaped cylinder block
^ individual ignition coils for each spark plug
^ composite-material intake manifold
^ large-bore throttle body
