The new engine's aluminum cylinder heads' exhaust ports face inboard, toward the valley of the cylinder block. This allows the single variable-geometry turbocharger, exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) cooler, and close-coupled oxidation catalyst to reside within the valley. The layout negates the need for separate exhaust manifolds while reducing overall width.

but the thing I dont like is that it uses a 72 degree V, and a ballance shaft. . .I can see this thing leaking oil.

Wow, that is a high-tech engine. I wouldn't want to be the first guy to own that one!

This is the part that would scare me off the GM diesel:

"It was totally clean-sheet," Freese recalled. "Starting with very rough sketches, our path to every technical solution began with a 'what if.' We ended up avoiding traditional approaches."

Good luck to the first people that buy one of those.
