L-head engine

An engine having both valves in the block and on the same side of the cylinder. The arrangement of the valves in the block and the combustion chamber forms an "L" shape. This type of valve train was used in the early years of automotive engineering and is no longer found - with some minor exceptions - in modern engines. Also called "side-valve engine." See flathead.
