What are the main features which determine whether the engine is ether air or liquid cooled?
The main features that determine whether an engine is air or liquid cooled include the cooling medium used and the design of the cooling system. Air-cooled engines rely on ambient air to dissipate heat, often utilizing fins to increase surface area, while liquid-cooled engines circulate coolant through a closed system involving a radiator and water pump. Additionally, air-cooled engines are typically simpler and lighter, whereas liquid-cooled engines provide more efficient temperature regulation and can handle higher power outputs. The choice between the two often depends on the application and performance requirements.
Is same kind of engines for cars made airplanes possible?
the first airplanes used engines very similar to ones found in automobiles, later aircraft often featured air cooled rotary engines for their light weight before being replaced by jet engines.
How often do you have to change a timing chain on a crv?
CR-V engines are equipped wiht timing BELTS not chains. The factory recommended replacement interval is 105,000 miles.
Does a Subaru have a cambelt?
Most Subaru models use a timing belt, often referred to as a cambelt, particularly in their older and non-turbocharged engines. However, many of their newer models, especially those with turbocharged engines and certain boxer engines, utilize a timing chain instead. It's important to check the specific model and engine type to determine whether it has a cambelt or a timing chain. Always refer to the owner's manual for maintenance recommendations.
How do you set the timing on a 1986 Chevy Caprice 262 43L V6?
Go to your library and see if they have a Chiltons manual otherwise go to a bookstore and buy one, they are cheap. I have never worked on one of the V-6 engines but setting the timing usually involves rotating the distributor and using a timing light. I am not sure if this is the case on computer controlled engines since I have never had to set the timing on any newer car I have worked on. If it is bad and you have a lot of miles, you may have a timing belt going bad. They get loose when they get old and often jump a notch. VBD
How often does a 2002 Ford Focus timing belt need to be changed?
The 2002 Ford Focus Maintenance Guide shows ( 120,000 miles ) for the 2.0 liter engines ( SOHC and DOHC )
How often do you replace a timing chain on a Honda CR-V?
Up through the 2001 models CR-V's are quipped with timing BELTS that the factory recommends be replaced every 10 years or at 105,000 miles, whichever comes first. Starting with (and including) the 2002 models, the engines have timing CHAINS which do not require replacement.
How often do you change the timing belts for an ford escort 99?
I was looking at the 1999 Ford Escort scheduled maintenance guide and the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc . ) and both show to inspect the timing belt at 120,000 miles , replace if necessary ( that applies to both the 2.0 liter SOHC and DOHC engines )
What if you dont use stihl geniune two stroke mix what would the ratio be for regular two stroke mix?
Most oils nowadays are 50:1. The great thing now is that an air cooled engine two cycle oil often comes in a package that mixes a gallon of gas to the correct amount. Beware of outboard motor oil as those engines are water cooled, not air cooled (heat is different.)
What is timing set at?
Timing refers to the precise scheduling of events or processes, often in relation to engines or systems. In automotive contexts, timing is typically set to ensure optimal performance, usually controlled by the timing belt or chain that synchronizes the crankshaft and camshaft. In broader contexts, timing can also pertain to the coordination of activities or the execution of tasks at specific moments for maximum effectiveness. The exact setting for timing can vary based on the specific application or system requirements.
Do you need to replace a timing chain on 1995 jeep grand Cherokee limited?
I believe that its just the timing belts that should be changed every 80,000 miles or so and not the chain. Belts exist in smaller four cylinder engines and in some six cylinder engines as well. Timing chains typically don't break any more often than other metal parts on the inside of your engine. A call to a dealer will get you more free and correct information. Good luck !!
What are the reasons for ignition timing checking?
The reason to check the ignition timing, is to get the best efficiency out of the engine. Fuel economy and power. The spark has to ignite the fuel/air at just the right time, to be efficient. Most modern engines have this done automatically, by computer and sensors. You may need to check it after a rebuild, or you suspect problems. Older engines need to be checked more often, as things wear or bed in.
