Each cylinder has 2 inlet, 2 exhaust valves and a central spark plug.
The block and cylinder heads are all alloy with many plastic parts.

Each of the 2 cylinder heads has its own distributor feeding 2 of its own spark plaugs and 2 plugs on the other bank.
Uses plastic head bolts and 6 plastic mains caps bolts for each piston.
Runs on leaded and unlead fuel but leaded fuel can destroy the catalytic convertor (if fitted).
Exterior dimensions are compact enough to fit into any RWD Celica (requires fitting of rack and pinion steering for clearance).

Valves are adjusted by shims.
Other accessories are driven by a single V ribbed belt with automatic tensioner.
