You will need to have some information ready. It is good to know the horsepower and the torque of your diesel engine.
A gas turbine engine will usually yield more power by weight than a piston engine. Main downside is that it can't be throttled very well. Energy efficiency isn't all that good to start with, and will drop right down if it has to be operated outside its optimum range.
An L4 engine, also known as a inline-four engine, is a type of internal combustion engine with four cylinders arranged in a straight line. This configuration is common in automobiles due to its compact size, lightweight design, and efficient fuel consumption. L4 engines can be naturally aspirated or turbocharged, offering a balance of performance and efficiency for various vehicle types. They are popular in many small to mid-sized cars, providing adequate power while maintaining good fuel economy.
Usually not. The seals in a rotary that does the job of the piston rings in a piston engine have a much harder job to do, and tend not to last as long. Agreed. The "Wankel" was a good concept, an engine with one moving part but never lived up to it's potential. The above answer is an excellent example. The trouble mostly came from balancing the rotor, as it did not rotate in a perfect 360 degree circle and oil seals were prone to failure
Nothing is impossible given enough money, determination and time to do it but ... I have to say that trying to do this idea is about as close as it comes! Two stroke relies on drawing the fuel mixture into the crankcase during the piston compression stroke to then pressurize it during the power stroke and thereby have pressure to force it up into the cylinder when the piston has traveled far enough to expose the cylinder intake port. The greatest challenge here is that the volume of a 2 stroke crankcase is specifically designed to be as small as possible with the piston at dead bottom so that all of the mixture is pushed up into the cylinder. A 4 stroke crankcase has no such constraint and is an enormous in comparison so it's volume has to be greatly reduced. *Then there's 4 stroke crankcase oil - can't be there anymore. *Then there's cylinder intake and exhaust ports to add plus how piston rings have ride past them - good luck on that modification! *Gonna need a rotary driven intake valve or a reed type check valve between the carburetor and crankcase * Throw out 4 stroke's valves, cam shaft, cam drive, push rods etc. *plug up 4 stroke valve ports in the head or make a new one with no ports. (Why did I waste my time answering this?)
Briggs doesn't publish engine compression specs, but 120 is good. 100 is okay. 80 is lousy.
any where from 120 lbs to 180 lbs
Any thing above 130 lbs
briggs doesn't offer compression ratings for their engines. I will usually pull it 3 to 5 times and look for 90 to 120. anything less is a problem and if it doesn't hold compression there is a problem
I just got 110 - with new rings but still doesn't run right. ...
Leak down test : Uses 70lbs pressure to test for leaks around valves and cylinders.
120 is nominal
An engine requires gas and spark to fire but it also requires compression and timing. If it has gas and spark, I would check the compression...should be over 100 to run good. If it has good compression then I would check to see if the spark occurs when the compression does. If it doesn't then you probably have a sheared key on the flywheel.
For a Briggs and Stratton 22 hp engine, good compression generally ranges between 90 to 120 psi. Values below this range may indicate wear or damage, while readings significantly above this range could suggest issues such as carbon buildup or valve problems. It's important to check both cylinders for consistency, as significant discrepancies may point to underlying issues. Regular maintenance can help maintain optimal compression levels.
Compression testing is done on engines and it establishes whether the engine has good compression. Good compression is needed for the engine to start easily and run efficiently.
90 to 120 minimum in 3 to 5 revolutions of the motor
that is not a good model number for briggs. also you need the type.
