Abstract
A spark ignition engine includes: a pre-chamber (PC); a main chamber (MC); and a cylinder head coupled with a water jacket. The PC includes: a spark plug; and a PC body. The spark plug is surrounded by a jacket with thermal-conductive substance. The thermal-conductive substance is solid at room temperature and liquid at working temperature of the PC. At working temperature of the PC, the liquid thermal-conductive substance conducts heat from the spark plug to the water jacket. The PC body is coated with a layer of non-thermal-conductive substance.
