I'm assuming that by "down draft furnace" you mean a counterflow or downflow furnace. This furnace takes its "cold air return" at the top, and blows the warm air out the bottom (typically, into ductwork that runs under the floor).

Older downflow furnaces were dedicated to that configuration, and could not be mounted in other positions.
Nowadays, most furnace manufacturers make "multi-poise" furnaces. They can be mounted in downflow, upflow, or side-flow positions, when they are installed according to the manufacturer's certified instructions.

Why does hydraulic jack for main engine cylinder head gets stuck while opening?

If you are using the jacks to undo the head nuts you must back the jack off a full turn, pump the jacks up to pressure and you should then be able to back the nut off less than 1 full turn. If the nut is brought up to a stop against the jack and tension is released it will bind. On tightening down you can screw the jack down onto the nut without backing off, as when you tension you turn the nut down and away from the jack.


How does a furnace multi speed motor work?

Mutli speed furnace motors work on a basis of horse power verses work load. The motor actually contains multiple windings or you could say multiple motors. Each of the windings has a specific horse power rating at a given work load. For example, a 3 speed 1/2 horse power motor is actually 3 different horse powers. High is 1/2 hp - medium is 1/3 hp - low is 1/4 hp. As the motor horse power is decreased the motor will slow down under a given or constant work load. Technically there is no such thing as a multi speed motor but in actuality a multi horse power motor.
