#1
1 cylinder at a time.
#1 is the cylinder closest to the front of the engine (where the belt is). On a V engine that is harder to tell unless you can see both heads at the same time.
A tachometer works by measuring how many time a spark plug fires. If the tachometer is designed to determine the rpm of an 8 cylinder engine it will not show the correct speed of a 2 cylinder engine. If I remember correctly if the tachometer designed for an 8 cylinder is used on a 4 cylinder engine it will show twice the number of actual rpm. So an 8 cylinder tachometer used on a 2 cylinder engine will show 4 times the actual rpm of the 2 cylinder engine. If you check around there are special tachometers designed for 2 cylinder engines.
The labor time for a 2000 Ford Ranger with a 4 cylinder engine is 10 hours, or roughly $900. It could be more depending on the year of your vehicle and for the 6 cylinder engine.
this is rhetorical when you think about it. when you have more cylinders, you have more power, but less fuel efficiency, and vice versa. In this answer its not all completely correct in some cases a multi-cylinder engine can have a better fuel economy compared to a single cylinder engine, it depends on the capacity of the of the cylinder, the size of the valves and how much they allow the fuel and air mixture (in S.I engines A.K.A petrol engines) or air for diesel engines. One reason that i know of for a multi-cylinder engine to be preferred to a single cylinder engine is because it gives less stress to the engine when running it also causes the engine to be more stable. In addition a multi-cylinder engine has less time between power strokes so the engine is more efficient.
anything is possilble but the only thing is that if u have the money and time to do this type of project
Yes it can but it is very time consuming.
No, not at the present time. The last 4 cylinder was installed in the Cadillac Cimarron, which was nothing more than a re-badged Cavalier.
No , on the Ford Ranger 2.3 L and 2.5 L with 2 spark plugs per cylinder , 1 spark plug fires on the power stroke of the engine cylinder and the 2nd spark plug fires on the exhaust stroke of the engine cylinder to reduce emissions
A four-cylinder engine does not require as much fuel as a six-cylinder, which requires half again as much fuel every time the pistons fire. A six-cylinder is more powerful, too, and accordingly uses more fuel. Four-cylinders are more economical, and if they are properly maintained, are more efficient.
probably not your engine, sounds like its time for new brake pads. if this doesnt correct it have the master brake cylinder checked
Controls air intake and exhaust gas out from cylinder in correct time periods.
