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.

Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or description:
“Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man’s image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
