a w16 is a type of block its two V8's connected plain and simple its shorter and putting a row of 16 cyclinders in a row which would result in a cars balance being thrown off and a very huge front end so basically its better because it has more cyclinders but its a different design to fit a bigger engine in a smaller car hope that answered your question

Is wd40 good for bikes?

WD stands for Water Displacement. It's not meant to be a lubricant.It's better than spit, poorer than 3-in-1 oil, and a lot poorer than, say a dribble of a regular engine oil.If WD-40 is all you have, it's better than nothing. But do look for something better.


What is the relation of CC with power and mileage?

How can a engine number tell you the size of the engine?

Can displacement can be zero even when distance is not zero?

No. Distance can be greater than displacement, but not less. The magnitude of the displacement between two points is also the minimum possible distance of a path between the same points.However, the displacement can be zero if the distance is not if the object's starting point and ending point are the same.


Is there more power in petrol engine than diesel engine?

There is more energy in one gallon of diesel than one gallon of gasoline. To elaborate, the word "petrol" is defined in different ways in different places..... but if you have two internal combustion engines of the same displacement the diesel will produce more power than the gasoline engine, especially in 'torque' measurement

Why does a diesel engine develop more torque than a gasoline engine of equivalent displacement?

Diesel engine runs at a higher compression ratio than a gasoline engine. A typical diesel engine may also use a longer stroke and smaller bore than a gasoline engine. Diesel fuel has a higher energy density than gasoline.


How many liters in a 6 cylinder car?

The number of cylinders alone does not determine the displacement. If someone desired to, they could make an engine with less than a liter of displacement with however many cylinders they pleased. Likewise, heavy duty trucks tend to use an inline six engine, with displacement ranging from ten to 16 liters.
