Everything about T-head engine

Type of early internal combustion engine

A T-head engine is an early type of internal combustion engine that became obsolete after World War I. It is a sidevalve engine distinguished from the more common L-head by its valve placement. In T-head engines, the intake valves are located on one side of the engine block and the exhaust valves on the other. When viewed from the end of the crankshaft, especially in a cutaway view, the cylinder and combustion chamber resemble a 'T', leading to the name "T-head". In contrast, an L-head engine has all valves on the same side. Wikipedia →
