Abstract
A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine defines first and second intake passages for supplying air through first and second intake valve openings to first and second cylinders. The cylinder head also defines first and second exhaust passages for conveying first and second streams of exhaust gas from first and second exhaust valve openings associated with first and second cylinders. The first exhaust valve opening is disposed outboard of the first intake valve opening, and the second exhaust valve opening is disposed outboard of the second intake valve opening.
