Abstract
A combustion seal for a fuel injector assembly mountable within a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine is provided. The combustion seal is energized by combustion gases within a combustion chamber to effect sealing of an injector tip portion of the fuel injector assembly with respect to the cylinder head, thereby preventing the leakage or escape of combustion gases from the combustion chamber. A cylinder head assembly including the combustion seal is also disclosed.
