A cylinder head assembly includes a cylinder head casting, and an injector sleeve within an injector bore in the cylinder head casting. The injector sleeve includes a first sleeve end, and an injector clamping surface formed by an inner sleeve surface adjacent to a cylindrical second sleeve end. The injector sleeve further includes a sleeve clamping surface in contact with an upward facing middle deck surface of the cylinder head casting, and a reaction wall extending between the injector clamping surface and the sleeve clamping surface to transfer an injector clamping load to the upward facing middle deck surface.

A cylinder head, where a pivot member configured to pivotably support a rocker arm is fastened with a bolt, is provided. The cylinder head includes a bottom wall part forming an inner bottom surface of a cam chamber that is a space where the rocker arm is disposed, and a side wall part forming an internal surface continuously rising from the inner bottom surface. A bolt hole into which the bolt is inserted is formed in the inner bottom surface. The side wall part has a protrusion protruding inward in the cam chamber from the internal surface at a position separated from the inner bottom surface, and a support hole configured to support the pivot member is formed in the protrusion.

A valve seat insert includes a top convex arcuate blend for improving fluid flow, and a valve seating surface for slowing down valve recession. The valve seating surface includes a radially outer convex arcuate segment defining an outer radius of curvature forming a first wear crown for contacting the valve at an early wear state, a radially inner convex arcuate segment defining an inner radius of curvature forming a second wear crown for contacting the valve at a later wear state, and a linear segment extending between the radially outer convex arcuate segment and the radially inner convex arcuate segment.

A piston for an internal combustion engine includes a plurality of valve pockets formed in a piston rim, the valve pockets forming fluid flow paths through the piston rim. Each of the valve pockets includes a central step standing proud of a pocket floor to limit a fluid flow area through the pocket and slow combustion gas flow from a combustion bowl toward a cylinder liner and thereby reduce displacement of an engine oil film thereon.

A retention member is configured to be supported within a cylinder head of an engine and includes a body portion and a plurality of arms. The body portion has an opening configured to receive a fuel injector of the engine. Additionally, the plurality of arms extends from the body portion and is configured to be positioned over a portion of a cross-head of the engine. The plurality of arms is spaced apart from the cross-head during routine operation of the engine.
