Car Engines
Engine power is measured in horsepower.
Depends largely on engine size. Bigger engines need more oil. Tractors require both engine and hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil is used both by the hydraulic pump and by the transmission.
Victor Hatherley was a hydraulic engineer concerned with the flow and conveyance of fluids not unlike the blood that flowed from his wound nor the leakage he discovered in the hydraulic press.
The question can't be answered in this form. The most compact form of engines are hydraulic motors, though.
Both the 1.5 & 1.6 Ltr. engines use "Hydraulic Valve Lash Compensators" No tappet settings are provided.
The TIE in TIE Fighter stands for Twin Ion Engines. Third Intergalactic Empire was another possibility for the acronym's meaning.
The 1.6L and 1.9L Ford engines have hydraulic camshafts, and the valves do not require adjustment, and can not be adjusted.
The valves on all engines in a 1989 Chrysler New Yorker are not adjustable. The hydraulic lifters are self adjusting.
On some engines the cam-shaft does not directly operate the valves, but uses a lever (the Cam Follower) to transmit the force from the cam to the valve. Basically they are levers, and they are used to open the valves.
I'm no mechanic, but from what I have read, the later model engines have hydraulic lash adjusters that can be tested and replaced(Haynes manual).
