Further features are a belt-driven double overhead camshaft, and four valves per cylinder with finger followers for each valve. The engine features a central direct injector and a separate, cooled EGR. The block features an incorporated vacuum pump and the oil pump is a rotary vane type. The twin, gear-driven balance shaft assembly is mounted to the underside of the block in the oil sump for additional engine refinement.
