X Wedge Engine Rocker Box

The cylinder head's rocker box area houses roller rockers set parallel to the valves and attached to head studs instead of the rocker cover. A single beehive valve spring per valve allows for reduced spring pressure. Since the rocker cover is not structural, there is only one gasket surface to maintain, which has a wide clamping area for solid gasket sealing.
