Simply put the intake manifold is on one side and the exhaust is on the other allowing the engine to have a more direct passage of gasses.
All V 8 engines are automatically cross flow.
The gas flow on the piston affects the cross head meet in several ways. Firstly it applies a force to the piston which then transmits the force to the cross head through the connecting rod. This force from the gas flow causes the cross head to move in a linear motion. The gas flow also affects the speed at which the cross head moves as it can be adjusted by controlling the pressure of the gas flow. Finally the gas flow also affects the thermal properties of the cross head as it helps to dissipate the heat generated by the piston.The effects of the gas flow on the cross head meet can be summarised as follows: Applies a force to the piston which is then transmitted to the cross head through the connecting rod. Affects the speed at which the cross head moves through adjusting the pressure of the gas flow. Affects the thermal properties of the cross head by helping to dissipate heat. These effects of the gas flow on the cross head meet are important considerations when designing a piston-driven system.
Improve flow of air and fuel through the head.

Oil in the expansion tank indicates a leak between the internal oil channels and water channels within the cylinder head. This is usually attributed to a failed cylinder head gasket, cracked cylinder head or cracked oil cooler (where fitted).
The intake runner and the intake valve (naming only the head assembly).
Intake valves.
Intake valves.
4 valve sohc/dohc heads and hemi heads are both cross flow heads. It is because the intake valve is across from the exhaust veruses inline as with regular 2 valve wedge heads.
Intake valve/valves.
No
The cylinder head is located on top of the engine. The spark plugs thread into the cylinder head(s).....
Intake valve must be open
