How do you get the piston top die center?
it's when the piston is all the way up
If the piston on the rear caliper screws in and out and the pad has a nipple that seats in the piston notch how will the piston twist its way out?
The piston doesn't twist it's way out. There is a ratchet screw adjustment that takes up the slack behind the piston. Screwing the piston back in resets the adjustment.
Car burns oil?
bad piston rings or a bad cylinder all together look up a rebuilder bad piston rings or a bad cylinder all together look up a rebuilder Worn piston rings and or bad valve seals. Could be from high mileage or poor maintenance either way there is no cheap fix.
Describe the position of the intake and exhaust valves during most of the power stage in four-cycle gas engine?
All right. Well, let's start from the end of the exhaust cycle (piston is up). The intake valve opens as the piston goes down, sucking in the fuel/air mixture. The valve closes when the piston reaches the bottom. As the piston makes its way back up, it compresses the mixture and near the top the spark plug ignites the mixture. This explosion sends the piston shooting down again and as it comes back up, the exhaust valve opens and the piston shoves waste gasses out of the engine. Then that valve closes and the cycle starts all over again.
What causes a Chevy 400 small block to lock up?
Overheating, running out of oil, or something falling into the carb, into a cylinder, blocking the piston from comming all the way up on it's stroke.
What is piston displacement in a motor?
It is measured in cubic inches, cubic centermeters, or liters. It is the area of the bore of the piston and the stroke of the piston. In other words how big that hole the pistons resides in when the piston is all the way down. You multiply that by the number of pistons in the engine.
When installing a cam on a 350 Chevy and both dots are lined up one on top of each other is this going to be top dead center?
It is if #1 piston is all the way up on the compression stroke.
What is a movement of a piston up or down?
A stroke is the movement of a piston up or down.
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.
Is the v timing mark on v8 vortec timing cover zero?
It is zero at top dead center as long as the #1 piston is all the way up on the compression stroke.
What is cylinder ridge?
In a internal combustion engine, a cylinder ridge is an unworn area around the top of the cylinder wall. In that engine, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder, and the rings seal the piston in that cylinder. But the rings are spaced "down a bit" from the top of the piston. And when the piston reaches top dead center in the cylinder, the rings haven't gone all they way to the top of the cylinder. They end up wearing the cylinder out "underneath" that top area. In other words, it's the top part of the cylinder that is not in contact with the piston rings. It's the "unworn" part, if you will.
2004 Subaru Outback knock on start up?
That is not a knock, that's a piston skirt slapping against the cyslinder wall. It is either #2 or #4 piston, and if you remove the piston you will find that all the moly coat has been rubbed off the skirt. A new piston is what you need.
