-It is a double concentric valve in which first the central valve opens the exhaust and in the next step in the sequence a jacket that surrounds the valve opens the intake passages, and the exhaust valve closes.

-Four types of SHK engines were made, the most common being the 70 CV 7-cylinder.

-The 14 cylinder gave 110 HP.
