The all new CVH (Compound Valve Hemi-Head) H-cylinder engine was designed specifically to squeeze the most power possible from every precious drop of fuel. By wing a hemispherical (half-round) head, and dishing out the top of the pistons, the fuel/air mixture is literally gathered in the center of the chamber and thoroughly mixed.
