If one piston moves 10cm how far will the large piston move if the small piston has 100 N going down?

1000cm


On a 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme if the plunger in the rear brake caliper will not go in so you can change the brake pads and the C-clamp will not work what should you do?

IT WON'T COMPRESS BECAUSE THE PISTON HAS TO BE SCREWED BACK IN WHILE COMPRESSING THE PISTON AT THE SAME TIME - THAT IS ALSO HOW THE BRAKE'S (BRAKE PEDDLE) IS ADJUSTED.ALSO THEY MAKE SPECIAL TOOLS TO DO THAT - IF YOU REALLY NEED THEM.& ALSO THE BLEEDER SCREW SHOULD BE LOOSENED (if calipher is removed) so as NOT TO PUSH COMTAMINATED FLUID BACK INTO THE (ANTI-LOCK) SYSTEM (if equiped) & NOT TO PUSH BAD FLUID BACK INTO THE MASTER CYLINDER. Autozone sells a neat little tool that attaches to your 3/8" ratchet, just like a socket. It has grip devices that will grip the top of the piston and allow you to easily screw the piston back into the caliper. The little tool is inexpensive (around 2.00) and is a lifesaver if you are going to do rear disc brakes .


How do you avoid gasoline going in the oil?

The gasoline is avoided to go into the oil by few piston rings placed on the piston of the engine. Actually, the piston rings are made for this purpose only.


Is there any 3 stroke engine?

No. How could there be? The "stroke" of an engine is the piston going up or down. If the spark plug fires and piston goes down, then up,and then fires again, then it's a two-stroke engine. IN a 4-stroke engine, the spark plug fires, piston does down, then up to exhaust the cylinder, then down to suck in fresh air and cool the cylinder, and up again to compress, and the spark plug fires every other "up". How could you have a "three-stroke" engine? The spark plug fires and the explosion pushes the piston down, and the crankshaft pushes it back up. Then back down. If the spark plug fires while the piston is DOWN, the engine will seize up. Nope. In a piston engine, the number of "strokes" is always an even number. For radial or Wankel engines, things are different - but in those there is no piston, and no "stroke".


Differentiate between a reciprocating mortion of a cylinder piston and a rotary motion?

Rotary means going around, like in a Wankel. Reciprocating means going back and forth. like in a ordinary piston engine.

How do you move the rear brake caliper on a 97 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme to fit the brake pads?

they must be screwed in because the e=brake is built into caliper. there is a tool kit that uses the grooves on piston but you can use channel lock pliers to turn piston don't chew up dust seal around piston .the right side is clockwise to turn in i think the left is ccw to turn in when piston starts moving in you going the right way. make sure you line the slots on the piston with the pins on the brake pads if not lined up you never get caliper on good luck ps when all done pump and release the e brake 20 time to self adjust the pistons


What are valves for on a motor?

A internal combustion engine works by exploding fuel inside a confined space, over the top of a piston. first the explosion pushes down the piston then the piston has to come up again. For this to able to take place there has to be a way for the fuel to get into the space over the piston and a way for the burnt gas to get out again. So a system of valvesUsually two valves for each piston (although sometime it can be more) One valve Inlet valve) opens to allow fuel into the cylinder head as the piston goes down, it then closes. as the piston moves up it compress the fuel gas, the spark plug fires and as the piston starts to head back down again the fuel explodes forcing the piston down faster. When the piston with the spent fuel reaches the bottom of the stroke it the other valve( exhaust valve) opens up to allow the spent fuel to exhaust out of the motor into the exhaust pipe. and closes again. in a motor all of this is very cleverly timed so that all of the pistons work as a team and keep the engine going.


How does the intake valve work?

The intake valve opens as the piston is going down. It lets in an air fuel mixture. The valve then shuts as the piston reaches the bottom.


How do you replace a piston on a small engine?

need to be more specific on what kind of small engine to give you exact information on how to pull the piston. . . but generally you just need to pull the head and cylinder off. . . the remove the wrist pin that holds the piston to the piston rod and your piston will come out. . . now getting the new one back is is going to be a different story :) . . . you are going to have to stagger the ring gaps to make sure you are holding compression . . . basically just make sure none of the ring gaps on your piston rings line up when you put the new piston back in and oil your cylinder pretty good too helps with putting it in and with breaking in the new piston.

How a 350 engain works?

The gas Engine is a 4 stroke engine, Nother words the piston must make 4 stroke's to run. Here's the 4 strokes. Entake, compression, power and exhaustWhen you turn the engine over with the starter a piston starts moving, As it starts going down the intake valve starts opening witch lets air and fuel come into the cylinder. That's the intake stroke.When the piston is compleatly down the intake and exhaust valves are closed, When the piston starts back up it will compress the air and fuel, this will be the compression stroke. As soon as the piston reaches the top of the cylinder the spark plug fires witch Explodes the air and fuel mixture that's in the cylinder and drives the piston down. This will be the power stroke. When the piston is all the way down and starts up again, The exhaust valve will open and the piston will push the exhaust gases out into the exhaust pipe. This will be the exhaust stroke. Then the piston starts down, intake valve opens and it does all over again.I hope you understand now. This is all happin real fast
