Claim Text:
1. An engine assembly, the engine assembly comprising, in combination: a uni-cast, piston-enclosing chamber structure, the chamber structure comprising a piston-receiving chamber, a gas intake port, an intake valve port, a gas exhaust port, and an exhaust valve port, the gas intake port and the intake valve port being in communication with one another, the gas exhaust port, and the exhaust valve port being in communication with one another; and a convectively air cooled solenoid pack, the solenoid pack comprising a gas intake valve-receiving column, a gas exhaust valve-receiving column, a gas intake solenoid valve assembly, and a gas exhaust solenoid valve assembly, the gas intake solenoid valve assembly comprising a first solenoid assembly and an intake valve, the gas exhaust solenoid valve assembly comprising a second solenoid assembly and an exhaust valve, the solenoid pack being attachable and externally mounted to the chamber structure such that the intake valve port is in axial alignment with the gas intake valve-receiving column, and the exhaust valve port is in axial alignment with the gas exhaust valve-receiving column, the intake valve being bi-directionally displaceable as received in the intake valve port and gas intake valve-receiving column, the exhaust valve being bi-directionally displaceable as received in the exhaust valve port and gas exhaust valve-receiving column, and wherein a uni-cast bracket mounts the gas intake solenoid valve assembly and the gas exhaust solenoid valve assembly to the uni-cast, piston-enclosing chamber structure, and wherein the uni-cast bracket includes an open-ended side opposite a close-ended side, and wherein the uni-cast bracket is oriented such that the open-ended side abuts the piston-enclosing chamber structure.
