DESCRIPTION 
The V8 engine has cast  aluminium  cylinder heads and cylinder  block. The two banks of steel cylinder  liners 
which  are pressed  down 
to stops in the block,  are set at 90° to one  another.  The three  ringed  aluminium 
pistons  transmit  the  power  through the connecting  rods 
to a cast iron five bearing  crankshaft,  which drives the 
centrally  located camshaft  via an inverted  tooth chain. 
The  electronic  ignition distributor  and lubrication  oil pump  are driven  by a skew...
