Patent ID: 7096849

Claim:
In an internal combustion engine, wherein said internal combustion engine includes at least one cylinder, wherein said at least one cylinder includes a first and a second intake valve, wherein said first intake valve is disposed in a first intake port and said second intake valve is disposed in a second intake port, said internal combustion engine including an air induction system, said air induction system including an air intake manifold, said air intake manifold including an air conduit for each said at least one cylinder, said air conduit including a charge motion control valve for substantially restricting an air flow to at least one of said intake ports during low speed operation of said internal combustion engine, a kit for replacing said charge motion control valve comprising: at least one valveless charge motion control plate, each said valveless charge motion control plate including a first surface and a second surface, said first surface constructed and arranged to be positioned juxtaposed to an intake surface of a cylinder head, said second surface constructed and arranged to be positioned juxtaposed to an intake manifold mounting flange, wherein said at least one charge motion control plate is positioned between said air intake manifold and said first and said second intake ports, wherein said at least one charge motion control plate includes a single air flow aperture for each said cylinder, wherein each said air flow aperture is constructed and arranged to receive air flowing through said air conduit and divide said air, for delivery into said first and said second intake ports whereby substantially equal portions of said air flow enters said at least one cylinder through said first and said second intake valve throughout the entire range of engine operation speeds.
