Top Dead centre (TDC) In a reciprocating engine, the dead centre is the position of a piston in which it is farthest from, or nearest to, the crankshaft. The former is known as top dead centre (TDC) ...
Engine Poppet valve A poppet valve (also called mushroom valve) is a valve typically used to control the timing and quantity of gas or vapour flow into an engine. It consists of a hole, usually round ...
Engine Multi-valve History In automotive engineering a multi-valve or multivalve engine is one where each cylinder has more than two valves. A multi-valve engine has better breathing and can operate ...
Engine Valve timing In a piston engine, the valve timing is the precise timing of the opening and closing of the valves. In four-stroke cycle engines and some two-stroke cycle engines, the valve timi ...
Vacuum delay valve A vacuum delay valve is a valve with a small orifice, which delays a vacuum signal. These are commonly used in automobiles to alter the behavior of vacuum switches, vacuum motors, ...
Variable valve lift Variable valve lift is a technology which is increasingly used in automotive piston engines. It varies the height that a valve opens, in order to improve performance, fuel economy ...
Engine Valve train A valve train or valvetrain is a device that controls the operation of the valves.,in which a sequence of components transmits motion throughout the assembly. A traditional recipro ...
Engine Variable valve timing In internal combustion engines, Variable valve timing (VVT), also known as Variable valve actuation (VVA), is any mechanism or method that can alter the shape or timing o ...
Vee belts Vee belts (also known as V-belt or wedge rope) solved the slippage and alignment problem. It is now the basic belt for power transmission. They provide the best combination of traction, spe ...
Viscous Fan clutch A fan clutch is a thermostatic device that exists as an integral component of certain automotive cooling systems. Function When the engine is cool or even at normal operating tempe ...
Water injection In internal combustion engines, water injection, also known as anti-detonant injection, is spraying water into the cylinder or incoming fuel-air mixture to cool the combustion chamber ...
Water Pump Works and replacement A water pump is used to circulate coolant throughout the engine block,cooling and heater systems. The water pump is driven by the engine viaserpentine belt in most ca ...
Engine Welch plug The Welch plug,(misnomer: Welsh Plugs), is a thin, domed, disc of ferrous metal which is pushed, convex side out, into against an internal shoulder in the casting holes. Alternative ...
Automobile wet sump A wet sump is a lubricating oil management design for piston engines which uses the crankcase as a built-in reservoir for oil, as opposed to an external or secondary reservoir use ...
