The Modular engine focuses on low friction, excellent sealing and increased block stiffness. The design results
in an extremely smooth running engine using aluminum heads and having all accessories rigidly mounted to the engine.
Both the engine block and head are machined to close tolerances to produce a very precise assembly. The head bolts of
modular engines actually extend past the cylinder bores into the bearing webs, eliminiating bore distortion and providing
a better head gasket seal. The overhead cam design uses roller finger followers to lower friction and increase
the RPM potential of the engine. Like I said I found what I was looking for.
