Pentroof chambers are the most commonly used on engines made in the past thirty years. Pent-roof combustion chamber is similar to hemi chamber but with flattened surfaces that make it possible to accommodate four valves per cylinder. The spherical nature of a hemi chamber makes it difficult to accommodate multiple valves which are used on the majority of engines today. With the spark plug centered in the chamber there is a short flame path to the piston head. Hemi-chamber is a dome-shaped recess which is generally used on single valve crossflow heads. This is a cold-flow run at 1600 rpm, with a constant 98-kPA manifold pressure. Wedge shaped chamber, the compression stroke forces the mixture from the narrow end of the wedge into the wider end, creating turbulence and concentrating the mixture around the spark plug. high-performance 4-valve gasoline engine with a pentroof combustion chamber. The shape of the combustion chamber has developed over the history of the engine.

The fuel needs to be mixed and this is achieved by creating turbulence - very rapid swirling - of the mixture as the piston moves upwards on the compression stroke. A side-valve type internal-combustion engine has a cylinder head formed with a recess or recesses each of which forms a combustion chamber with the. The objective is to achieve complete combustion of the fuel with an even spread of the flame across the chamber. The shape of this recess determines how the fuel mixes with the air, and how that mixture burns. The shape of the combustion chamber is formed by a recess in the bottom of the cylinder head. It is formed by the cylinder head at the top, the cylinder walls, and with the piston as its floor. The combustion chamber is the space where the fuel and air mixture is burned.
