Engine Component View
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, 2003 Ford Excursion, and 2003 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The concept of modularity allows engine designs to share concepts and hardware. The following illustration represents the basic cross sectional view of a modular V10 engine. The four modules are:
- intake module
- cylinder head module (RH)
- cylinder head module (LH)
- lower engine module
Due to the modular design, most out-of-vehicle repairs benefit in reduction of time and labor needed to repair the engine.
Bi-fuel vehicles differ from gasoline vehicles through the addition of hardened valves and valve seats.
The basic engine components consist of:
- single overhead camshafts
- two valves per cylinder
- balance shaft
- sequential multiport fuel injection (SFI)
- aluminum cylinder heads
- cast-iron, 90 degree V-cylinder block
- individual ignition coils for each spark plug
- two-piece intake manifold system
- composite-material lower intake manifold
- large-bore throttle body
