Technical Description
All variants (naturally aspirated and forced induction) displace 2,383 cubic centimetres (145.4 cu in) from a cylinder bore of 76.48 millimetres (3.01 in), and a piston stroke of 86.4 millimetres (3.40 in). Its inline six cylinder block is constructed from grey cast iron, and has seven main bearings to support the die-forged steel crossplane crankshaft. The cast aluminium alloy cylinder head contains two valves per cylinder each with two concentric valve springs, and shim-adjustable bucket tappets. The valves are opened via a timing belt-driven single overhead camshaft (SOHC), and the combustion chamber compression ratio is 23.5:1.
Attached to the cylinder head is a cast aluminium alloy intake manifold on one side, and two cast iron exhaust manifolds on the same side (it's a non cross flow engine) (one manifold for three cylinders) followed by a two in one exhaust pipe system. The fuel system uses a Bosch mechanical distributor-type( bosch VE type) injection pump which feeds indirect fuel injection into a remote whirl pre-combustion chamber.
The initially available variant of the D24 produced a DIN-rated motive power output of 55 kilowatts (75 PS; 74 bhp) at 4,500 revolutions per minute (rpm); and it generated a torque turning force of 155 newton metres (114 lbf·ft) at 2,800 rpm. Subsequent minor evolutions and revisions resulted in differing power and torque ratings.
