Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes a cylinder head and a cylinder block. The cylinder head includes a first boss cylinder head conduit portion and a first boss cylinder head cavity portion. The first boss cylinder head conduit portion is configured to receive a first fastener without threadably engaging the first fastener. The first boss cylinder head conduit portion has a first diameter. The first boss cylinder head cavity portion is aligned with the first boss cylinder head conduit portion. The first boss cylinder head cavity portion is configured to receive the first fastener without threadably engaging the first fastener. The first boss cylinder head cavity portion has a second diameter greater than the first diameter. The cylinder block is coupled to the cylinder head. The cylinder block includes a first boss cylinder block threaded portion.

Abstract: An apparatus includes an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders allocated between a first bank having a first cylinder head and a second bank having a second cylinder head. A medial space is defined between the first bank and the second bank. An exhaust system is in fluid receiving communication with the internal combustion engine and in fluid providing communication with the atmosphere. The exhaust system includes an aftertreatment system that is disposed at least in part at the medial space between the first bank and the second bank of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract: Variable counterweight apparatuses, systems and methods. The variable counterweight system includes at least one rotatable actuator, a first variable counterweight assembly, and a second variable counterweight assembly. The first variable counterweight assembly is rotatably coupled to the rotatable actuator to rotate about a first axis. The first variable counterweight assembly is configured to geometrically reconfigure so as to change a first variable counterweight assembly center of gravity position with respect to the first variable counterweight assembly. The second variable counterweight assembly is rotatably coupled to the rotatable actuator to rotate about a second axis. The second variable counterweight assembly is configured to geometrically reconfigure so as to change a second variable counterweight assembly center of gravity position with respect to the second variable counterweight assembly.

Abstract: Rib configurations for increasing the structural efficiency of a cylinder head, which relates to a peak combustion pressure capability of the cylinder head. In addition to increasing peak combustion pressure, the rib configurations may also improve sealing of the cylinder head and may improve the durability of an associated cylinder head gasket.
