How is a crankshaft position sensor used to monitor misfiring?

by sensing engine RPM it can teel if engine is not running smooth by sensing the rotation of the rpm's of the engine.


Which components is part of the crankshaft?

The crankshaft is a single piece of steel going the length of the engine. The offsets, called journals, the attachment points for each rod/piston to transfer the explosive force of fuel combustion in the cylinder. The "parts" of an assembled crank or "sections" of a forged crank include; Crank nose where the pulley and dampener are attached, Crank journals where the rods/pistons attach, main journals around the primary axis of rotation, and counter weights to smooth out the rotation.


What is the difference between a reverse rotation and a standard rotation water pump impeller?

Reverse rotation water pumps turn in the oposite direction of the crankshaft and are typically used with surpentine belts. The back (smooth) side of the belt is routed around the water pump pulley, thereby rotating it in the oposite direction of the crankshaft.Standard rotation water pumps turn in the same direction as the crankshaft and are typically used with V-Belts.Turning a water pump in the wrong direction will cause overheating.


Marine engineering crank shaft deflection of an new engine?

Crankshaft used to transforms the linear motion of the pistons into a rotational motion that is transmitted to the load.Piston connected with crankshaft by connecting rod.Each units of the crankshaft supported by crank bearing(usually journal bearing) In multi-cylinder engine every units piston connected with crankshaft create rotational motion according to firing order.Crank shaft alignment is necessary for smooth engine operation.


Why do you have clutches in bike and cars?

To create a smooth transition between the rotation of the engine to the gearbox.


Why is a shadow of a cylinder a square or a rectangle?

Because of the dimensions of the cylinder, once shadowed, the shadow resembles a rectangle due to the flat top of the cylinder and the smooth surfaces.


What tool is used to removed a piston?

the tool you are looking for is called a piston remover, sold at every local auto zone As the rings in the piston wear on the wall of the cylinder, a ridge forms at the top of the cylinder. This has to be removed with a Ridge Reamer. It cuts the ridge down until the cylinder is smooth otherwise the rings in the piston would catch on it and the piston cannot be removed. Once the cylinder is smooth, you can tap the piston out using the handle of a wooden handled hammer. To install the piston back in, you use a Ring Compressor that squeezes the rings into the grooves of the piston. Put lengths of plastic tubing over the Rod Bolts so that you don't nick the crankshaft and tap the piston into the cylinder with the same wooden hammer handle.


What is the anti polishing ring?

Anti-polishing rings are used to prevent carbon build-up in the cylinder liner. The carbon polishes the cylinder liner leaving it with a smooth surface. A smooth cylinder liner is bad because the lube oil won't be able to stick to the liner.

Why do cars have so many cylinders?

Cars have multiple cylinders to produce more power and reduce vibrations. The more cylinders in a car, the more explosions that are taking place, and the more power is produced. Multiple cylinders also contribute to smooth operation. Here's why: The cylinder is filled with a piston, attached to a rod. The other end of the rod is attached to the crankshaft. As the piston moves up and down, so is the rod, which spins the crankshaft to create the circular drive motion. Now, as the crankshaft is spinning around, each cylinder is igniting to drive the piston and rod down to turn the shaft. Imagine if the engine only had one cylinder - the crankshaft would have to make a full revolution before it would receive another "push" from the rod. This produces very little power, and lots of vibration (your weedwacker is a single-cylinder engine. The next time you use it, feel how numb your hand becomes from the vibrations caused by a single cylinder). Compare that to a four, six, or even eight cylinder engine. Now one revolution of the crankshaft is receiving up to eight "pushes" to help it spin along its way. This smooths out the engine, balances the rotational forces and reduces vibration. Not to mention, eight explosions is a lot stronger than four, so you get more horsepower and torque. Hope this answers your question. -- Jesse


What does a motor bearing do?

A main bearing gives the crankshaft a smooth surface to spin on, and a rod bearing, provides a surface for the connecting rod to rotate on.


What is meant by replace brake cylinder repair?

Brake cylinder repair is that wheel cylinder that holds the oil to keep your brakes running smooth on your back brakes. If you don't repair those you will mess up your rotors and your rims.
