GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Engine
The engine is a water-cooled, in-line 3 cylinders,
4-stroke cycle gasoline unit with its S.O.H.C. (single
overhead camshaft) valve mechanism arranged for
“V”-type valve configuration.
The single overhead camshaft (S.O.H.C.) is mounted
over the cylinder head; it is driven from crankshaft
through timing belt. Unlike conventional overhead
valve (O.H.V.) engines, this engine has no pushrods.
Thus, drive for valve is more direct and enables the
valves to follow the crankshaft without any delay.
