Engine Cylinder information
Air flow bench explained
How a Air flow bench works Typical Flow Bench schematic Used primarily for testing the intake and exhaust ports of cylinder heads of internal combustion engines. It is also used to test the flow capabilities of any component such as air filters, carburetors, manifolds or any other part that is requ ...
Cylinder
Engine Cylinder explained A cylinder is the central working part of a reciprocating engine or pump, the space in which a piston travels. Multiple cylinders are commonly arranged side by side in a bank, or engine block, which is typically cast from aluminum or cast iron before receiving precision ma ...
Cylinder bank
Engine Cylinder bank explained Internal combustion piston engines (those with more than one cylinder) are usually arranged so that the cylinders are in lines parallel to the crankshaft. Where they are in a single line, this is referred to as an inline or straight engine. Where engines have a large ...
Cylinder Bore & Pitch
Cylinder Bore & Pitch Bore is the diameter measurement of the cylinders in a piston engine. Engine displacement is calculated by: Bore pitch is the distance between the centerline of a cylinder bore to the centerline of the next cylinder bore adjacent to it in an internal combustion engine. It's al ...
Cylinder Compression Test
Car Engine Cylinder Compression Test Engine Cylinder Compression Gauge An engine depends on an equal amount of compression in each cylinder to operate smoothly. If poor compression exists in one or more cylinders it can cause a rough idle condition and low power. A compression test can be performed ...
Cylinder head
Cylinder head In an internal combustion engine, the cylinder head (often informally abbreviated to just head) sits above the cylinders on top of the cylinder block. It closes in the top of the cylinder, forming the combustion chamber. This joint is sealed by a head gasket. In most engines, the head ...
Cylinder head porting
Car Cylinder head porting explained Cylinder head porting refers to the process of modifying the intake and exhaust ports of an internal combustion engine to improve the quality and quantity of the air flow. Cylinder heads, as manufactured, are usually suboptimal due to design and manufacturing con ...
Cylinder head Reverse-flow
Engine Reverse-flow cylinder head In engine technology, a reverse-flow or non-crossflow cylinder head is one that locates the intake and exhaust ports on the same side of the engine. The gases can be thought to enter the cylinder head and then change direction in order to exit the head. This is in ...
how car engine works?
Basics how a car engine works The car engine is an internal combustion engine, of which there are a number of various types including diesel engine, gasoline engine, rotary engine and engine two times. (Two-stroke) The internal combustion engine works with the basic premise of injecting a small amo ...
Stroke ratio
Engine Stroke ratio In a reciprocating piston engine, the stroke ratio, defined by either bore/stroke ratio or stroke/bore ratio, is a term to describe the ratio between cylinder bore diameter and piston stroke. This can be used for either an internal combustion engine, where the fuel is burned wit ...
