If your vehicle has been running roughly or seems to be losing power, it's possible that there's a lack of pressure in one or more of the cylinders. Without enough pressure, the fuel/air mixture doesn ...

A remote starter switch and a top-quality, screw-in-type compression gaugeâ such as these models from Sears, Roebuck & Companyâ can be used to measure the pumping efficiency of an engine, as well as ...

A four-stroke (or four-cycle) engine is so called because in the process of producing power, the piston passes up and down the bore four times. These strokes or events are the induction, compression, ...

While we like to think of 2002 as being part of a high-tech age, our beloved internal combustion engine hasn't really changed much in the last 50 years. We're still using pushrods and overhead valves, ...

SAE International Journal of Engines, Vol. 2, No. 1 (2009), pp. 1574-1586 (13 pages) ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to examine the operating characteristics of a light duty multi cylinder ...

ABSTRACT Low temperature combustion through in-cylinder blending of fuels with different reactivity offers the potential to improve engine efficiency while yielding low engine-out NOx and soot ...

Whereas up until now the automotive enthusiast knew of roughly only two large scale-use engines, the gasoline and the diesel, technological developments and new requirements imposed by economical or ...
