hem-i Show Spelled Pronunciation[hem-ee] –noun Automotive. an internal-combustion engine having hemispherical combustion chambers. [Origin: shortening of hemi-head]
The Chrysler Hemi-6 engine is a family of inline six cylinder petrol engines produced by Chrysler Australia in three piston displacements and multiple configurations. Hemi-6 engines were installed in Australian-market Chrysler Valiants from 1970 through 1981. The Hemi-6's combustion chambers comprise about 35% of the top of the globe. This creates what is known as a low hemispherical shaped chamber. Although the Hemi-6 does not contain truly hemispherical combustion chambers, the "Hemi" moniker was used primarily for its marketing cachet based on the reputation of Chrysler's 1950s-1970s (true) Hemi V8 engines. The Hemi-6 Valve arrangement is 18 degree opposed valves up to 1.96" valve head. The cylinder head is a non-crossflow design, meaning the intake and exhaust ports are on the same side of the engine. All Hemi-6s share a robust crankshaft supported by 7 main bearings, and this family of engines quickly developed a reputation for excellent performance, economy, and durability.
