Pentroof Spark Ignition Engines," International journal of Engine Research 2(3):209-227, 2001, doi:10.1243/1468087011545442.
The engine head has a 40[degrees]
pentroof design, with centrally located spark plug and DI injector.
The combustion chamber features a very high efficiency
pentroof design in which the top of the combustion chamber is angled.
That same year, across the Pacific, Honda was rediscovering the
pentroof four-valve combustion chamber, first raced by Peugeot in 1913.
Experiments were performed using a direct injected single-cylinder metal engine with a prototype Volvo
pentroof cylinder head; details of the engine's specifications are presented in Table 1.
The combustion chamber features a shallow with valves flush with the
pentroof surface.
