Zusammenfassung:A cylinder head for use with an internal combustion engine, the cylinder head including a body having a fire deck and defining a water jacket in fluid communication with a cooling system. The cylinder head also includes a first runner defined by the body and open to the fire deck to at least partially form a first valve seat, a second runner defined by the body and open to the fire deck to at least partially form a second valve seat, and a channel defined by the body, where the cooling channel is in fluid communication with the water jacket and positioned between the first runner and the second runner, and where the cooling channel includes a flow diverter configured to produce a turbulent region proximate the fire deck.
