Cross-section cutaway schematic of a Ford DOHC engine showing valvetrain, pistons, and crankshaft.

AI caption · Photo 259 of 274

This document is a single page from a Ford technical/reference publication, headed "MAINTENANCE" in large orange lettering. The page consists almost entirely of a detailed cutaway technical illustration, captioned "Figure 21 – Longitudinal Cross Section of Ford D.O.H.C. Competition Engine." The drawing shows the internal construction of the engine along its length: the dual overhead camshaft valvetrain with valve springs and valves at the top of the cylinder head, a front-mounted accessory/drive housing, the pistons and connecting rods, the crankshaft with its main bearing caps and connecting rod journals across all cylinders, the flywheel/damper end, and the oil pickup tubes and oil pan plumbing at the bottom of the crankcase. No part numbers, torque specifications, dimensions, or descriptive body text appear on this page — it is purely an illustrative cross-section figure within a maintenance section. A reader can learn the general internal layout and component arrangement of the Ford DOHC competition (racing) engine, including how the camshafts, valvetrain, crankshaft, bearings, and oiling system components are situated relative to one another in longitudinal view.
