That head design appears to have provisions for Direct Injection. It's obviously not being done with the motor in the picture, but after reading the pattents it's clear the design will accommodate direct injection in the future. That's interesting.

Take a look at the pattent on file, detail #68 specifically...

Quote from the text:

"Spaced longitudinally on the other end of the outside of the cylinder from the exhaust valve location is an igniter in the form of a spark plug 66 or similar device. A fuel injector 68 may also be located at a position inwardly adjacent to the spark plug when the engine is provided with direct cylinder injection. However, the same cylinder configuration absent the direct fuel injector may also be utilized for an engine having manifold injection of the fuel."

Neat, ain't it?
