Control Module (ECM) controls the fuel injection system and the ignition system.
The cylinder block is of aluminum alloy construction with cast iron liners and a pressed aluminum bedplate section bolted to the
bottom of the block to improve lower structure rigidity. The single-piece oil sump is also of a pressed aluminum construction. The
cylinder head and the camshaft bearing housing are manufactured from cast aluminum. The exhaust manifolds are of a fabricated
stainless steel twin skin design incorporating catalytic converters and a moulded plastic acoustic cover is fitted over the upper
engine to reduce engine-generated noise.
