	The Turbo-Air 6 is a [[flat-six engine]] that is primarily air-cooled. The engine's major components include an [[aluminum]] [[crankcase]], two three-cylinder aluminum cylinder heads with integral [[intake manifold]]s, and six individual iron cylinder barrels. The #1 cylinder is at the right rear with cylinders 1, 3, and 5 on the right, while #2 is the left rear with cylinders 2, 4, and 6 on the left.<ref name="fiorebook"/>{{rp\|24}} The [[firing order]] is: 1-4-5-2-3-6.

	Each cylinder head has two overhead valves per cylinder activated through stamped-steel [[rocker arm]]s and [[hydraulic tappet]]s by pushrods that run through tubes below each cylinder barrel. The engine developed a reputation for leaking oil past the seals of the pushrod tubes. New seals of [[Viton]] solved the problem.<ref name="hemmings-feb2009"/><ref name="lvcc=may2017"/><ref name="startribune"/>		Each cylinder head has two overhead valves per cylinder activated through stamped-steel [[rocker arm]]s and [[hydraulic tappet]]s by pushrods that run through tubes below each cylinder barrel.
