< the head is made as an integral part of the cylinder. This is also common for motorcycles, and such head/cylinder components are referred to as barrels. >

Common? Really? (There must be some such, although I cannot think of one offhand. 2A00:23C7:D29D:4E01:703B:5D58:9248:FE06 (talk) 18:24, 13 August 2023 (UTC)


 * See monobloc head, as the article suggests.
 * I make no claim as to the commonness of such for modern motorbikes, although it did have its day when cylinders were on their own (air-cooled singles or V-twins). Andy Dingley (talk) 18:57, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
