Abstract
A cylinder head for an air-cooled internal combustion engine having its intake and its exhaust ducts each arranged transversely to the direction of cooling air flow and having groups of cooling fins arranged vertically and perpendicularly with respect to the cylinder axis and air leading surfaces. The groups of cooling fins and the air-leading surfaces are located with respect to each other such that the cooling air is split into a number of partial cooling air streams, thus enabling controlled cooling of the entire cylinder head and a uniform temperature distribution in the cylinder head.
