Cylinder head for liquid-cooled multicylinder internal combustion engines

Claim 1

A cylinder head, producible by the pressure die-casting method, for liquid-cooled multicylinder internal combustion engines comprising: series-arranged combustion chambers; suspended inlet and outlet valves; valve bushings disposed in at least one row for the suspended inlet and outlet valves; water spaces which can be connected to a cylinder block, wherein the water spaces are disposed around the combustion chambers and are formed in a niche-like manner toward a dividing plane of the cylinder head to the cylinder block; at least one longitudinal duct arranged in parallel to the series of combustion chambers and at a spacing from the dividing plane; and connecting ducts between the water spaces and the longitudinal duct, wherein the connecting ducts extend transversely to the series of combustion chambers, further comprising: the longitudinal duct located, with respect to the dividing plane, beyond the combustion chambers as well as in parallel and in close adjacency to the row of valve bushings; and the connecting ducts arranged at an angle to the dividing plane and extended linearly from the water spaces to the longitudinal duct as one of bores and diecasting grooves.
