What does oil do to make your car run?
Lubricates and cools the moving metal parts. and helps keep your engine running smoothly
What would cause engine howlling and grinding after running low on oil what?
Lol everything! When you run an engine without sufficient engine, all the moving parts get hot and wear increases. And this may cause distortion from the extreme heating and cooling of the moving parts. Distortion means they are not the right shape and so it grinds as it tries to do what it used to.
Can you just put gas in your 2 stroke engine and what would happen to your engine if you dont mix the oil with the gas?
Have you noticed there is no place to put oil in your 2 cycle engine? Inside your engine there are several moving parts used to convert gasoline to rotary motion. Without oil these parts will create a great deal of friction and heat causing permanent failure in minutes at best. Beating the engine with a sledge hammer will do not more damage than running an engine without oil. The oil for these moving parts in a 2 cycle engine is provided by the mist of gasoline and oil that is routed around the moving parts before it is burned in the engine.
What is the problem if the timing belt isn't moving?
if the timing belt is not moving when engine is cranking,it means you have broken a cam,or a belt pulley.do not keep cranking as you can damage other parts of the engine such as the valves
Why is smoke coming from the oil filler cap when engine running on my Saab 93?
This is a normal result of running the engine. Hot oil, or most any hot liquid, will vaporize to some extent depending on the temperature and pressure involved. The oil pump forces the oil through the engine passageways at about 50 psi (more or less) so that all moving parts are lubricated. The oil becomes heated through the friction of the moving parts, to around 250 degrees F. What you are seeing is the vaporization of the oil.
What does engine oil do to a diesel engine?
The engine oil helps in lubricating the machine. Oil helps in cooling the engine and lubricates the moving parts properly. The moving parts are constantly shifting and are connected to each other. Oil is needed to grease the parts so that the components move properly without causing harm to the machines.
How is friction between the moving parts of a car engine reduced?
Friction between the parts of an engine is reduced by applying oil between its parts. mobiloil is particularly used for this purpose.
Which two parts of the human body does blood get pumped to?
Blood gets pumped to all parts of the body, including the heart.
What is extremely important for the moving parts of your engine?
the timebelt it connects everything together
What are the risk involve when working with running engines?
Carbon Monoxide poisoning, Burns from touching hot engine parts, Injuries from rotating engine parts,
Why is oil needed for a gas engine?
To make it run. Oil lubricates the moving parts in an internal combustion engine, and helps in cooling the parts. Without oil, the engine would "run tight" effectually welding or melting the engine parts together.
Does valve lifters damage in an engine that has ran with very low oil?
Yes, it will damage all moving parts in the engine.
