Low- And High-Compression Fuel Economy Engines: The Techniques Are About The Same, But The Approach To Each Is Somewhat Different. A.Most stock cylinder heads have factory-cut undercuts of the type ...

As we face the end of the internal-combustion era, the straight-six has made an unlikely comeback. Well, unlikely might not be the right word for an engine configuration of such fundamental rightness.

2.Reduced engine rpm (without attending losses in net torque) tend to improve overall fuel economy and driveability. 3.Treat multi-cylinder engines as a combination of several single-cylinder engines, ...

Apart from the very curious, not many people ask why diesel engines, compared to gasoline, run higher compression ratios. The argument is reasonably straightforward and starts with fuel ...

Garage 54 calls it free horsepower. We call it glorious Lada carnage. A combustion engine makes power by compressing fuel and air in a cylinder, then igniting it. The tighter you compress the mixture, ...

The Milwaukee-Eight sits at the top of the Harley engine hierarchy and the biggest one edges really close to the 2,000cc mark ...

Air flowing into a four-stroke diesel engine gets cleaned as it passes through the air filter. It then flows through tubing until it is compressed in the spinning blades of the turbo. As a result, the ...
