The engine is built around a very stiff, lightweight, enclosed V, deep skirt cylinder block. A structural windage tray is bolted to the bottom of the cylinder block to further improve the block stiffness, minimize the Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) and help reduce oil foaming. To further enhance the stiffness of the lower engine structure, a heavily ribbed oil pan is installed. The oil pan also helps to reduce engine noise.
