Cylinder head for internal combustion engines with compression ignition

Claim 1

A cylinder head for an internal combustion engine having compression ignition, said cylinder head comprising: a one piece cylinder head member; ceramic precombustion chambers; ceramic intake and exhaust ports and ceramic valve seats and guides respectively associated with respective cylinders of the engine, wherein said precombustion chambers, exhaust ports and valve seats comprise elements entirely cast and positioned within said cylinder head member during casting of said cylinder head member so as to be free from machining while within said cylinder head member, and wherein said precombustion chambers define holes for fuel injection into said precombustion chambers for communication with a glow plug and for communication with a main combustion chamber of said engine, said precombustion chambers being in surface contact with said cylinder head member, and being narrow adjacent said hole for communication with said main combustion chamber, as compared with a remaining portion of said precombustion chambers, whereby the shape of said precombustion chambers prevents removal thereof from said cylinder head members.
