while adding top end (valve train) lubrication, the oil will lower the octane rating of the fuel being used, cause massive carbon build-up, possible plug fouling, and lean mixtures that can cause overheating.

How do you change four stroke engine into two stroke engine?

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?)


What is a 4 way hydraulic control valve?

The number is four ways in and out of oil. Way valves in the hydraulic system with a number of ways in and out of the way oil and positioning are introduced. For example, two-position four-way valve.


What is an piston cooling oil nozzle?

It is a little nozzle which is pointed towards the beneath of a piston in an internal combustion engine. It is linked to the pressurised side of the oil system, so cool oil coming directly from the oilcooler will spray onto the piston and cooling it instead of just cooling around the cylinder. This enables the engine to run a much more efficient combustion without the chance of melting a piston or overheating the engine which could lead to engine failure.


What are the elements of a diesel power plant?

ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF DIESEL POWER PLANT Fuel Supply System It consists of storage tank, strainers, fuel transfer pump and all day fuel tank. The fuel oil is supplied at the plant site by rail or road. The oil is stored in the storage tank. From the storage tank, oil is pumped to smaller all day tank at daily or short intervals. From this tank, fuel oil is passed through strainers to remove suspended impurities. The clean oil is injected into the engine by fuel injection pump. Air Intake System This system supplies necessary air to the engine for fuel combustion. It consists of pipes for the supply of fresh air to the engine manifold. Filters are provided to remove dust particles from air which may act as abrasive in the engine cylinder. Exhaust System This system leads the engine exhaust gas outside the building and discharges it into atmosphere. A silencer is usually incorporated in the system to reduce the noise level. The exhaust system of a diesel engine performs three functions. First, the exhaust system routes the spent combustion gasses away from the engine, where they are diluted by the atmosphere. This keeps the area around the engine habitable. Second, the exhaust system confines and routes the gases to the turbocharger, if used. Third, the exhaust system allows mufflers to be used to reduce the engine noise. Cooling System The heat released by the burning of fuel in the engine cylinder is partially converted into work. The remainder part of the heat passes through the cylinder wall, piston, rings etc. and may cause damage to system. In order to keep the temperature of the engine parts within the safe operating limits, cooling is provided. The cooling system consists of a water source, pump and cooling towers. The pump circulates water through cylinder and head jacket. The water takes away heat form the engine and it becomes hot. The hot water is cooled by cooling towers and re circulated for cooling. Lubricating System The system minimises the wear of rubbing surfaces of the engine. It comprises of lubricating oil tank, pump, filter and oil cooler. The lubrication oil is drawn from the lubricating oil tank by the pump and is passed through filter to remove impurities .The clean lubrication oil is delivered to the points which require lubrication. The oil coolers incorporated in the system keep the temperature of the oil low. Engine Starting System This is an arrangement to rotate the engine initially, while starting, until firing starts and the unit runs with its own power. Small sets are started manually by handles but for larger units, compressed air is used for starting. In the latter case, air at high pressure is admitted to a few of the cylinders, making them to act as reciprocating air motors to turn over the engine shaft. The fuel is admitted to the remaining cylinders which makes the engine to start under its own power.


How is oil distributed to all moving parts within the MAN B and W engine?

MAN 9L58/64 Engine. The oil distributed in the engine by pumping the oil from a sump tank since the engine is dry sump. The oil is pumped to the main bearings and through the crankshaft which is hollow to the big end bearing and goes to through the con rod and then lubricate gudgeon pin and piston crown. The other oil goes to the cam shaft bearings and then another branch goes to the rocker arm area and lubricates the exhaust and air inlet valves rota caps and then flows down through the push rods to the cam shaft area. The cylinder liner is lubricated by cylinder lubricator pump which delivers oil in the cylinder liner. Air intake valve seat is lubricated by valve seat lubricator pump which delivers lube oil to all inlet valve seat. The idle gears, cam shaft gears and the generator end bearing are also lubricated by lube oil pumped by Lube oil main pump. The turbo charger has a header tank to ensure that oil lubricates the turbo charger bearings and also there is a direct line from lube oil main pump.

Will four stroke oil damage two stroke engine?

You can use four stroke oil for a (very) limited period in a two stroke engine in an emergency. However it is not formulated for two stroke engines and is not recommended.


Can you use 4-stroke oil in a 2-stroke engine?

It is possible to use 4-stroke oil in a 2-stroke engine in an emergency situation. You should not use this oil in the long term as it will damage the engine.


Is the 6.0 Briggs and Stratton engine a four-stroke or two-stroke?

The best way to know if an engine is 2-stroke or 4-stroke, is to look for an oil spout. If the engine has an oil spout where oil has to be poured into, it is a 4-stroke. If the engine has no oil spout and the oil has to be added to the fuel, then it is a 2-stroke.


Can you put 2 stroke oil in a 4 stroke lawnmower?

No - it is formulated very differently. The crankcase of a four stroke engine needs conventional engine oil. DO NOT use two stroke oil in the crankcase.


What is the difference between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke lawn mower engine?

Four-stroke engines have a spout where you add oil to the engine. On two-stroke engines, oil has to be added to the fuel. (Four-stroke and two-stroke are also called four-cycle and two-cycle, respectively).


How to tell if a motor is 2 stroke or 4 stroke?

if your scooter has a engine oil dip stick then it is a four stroke. if it has a oil tank that you have to put oil in then it is 2 stroke.


Do you mix oil and gas in a four stroke engine?

Usually no.


How do you tell if a lawn mower is a gas only or a gas oil engine?

A gas only engine has a spout where oil is added to the engine. If there is no spout, then it is a gas/oil engine. FYI - gas only engine is a four-stroke (four-cycle) engine and the gas/oil engine is two-stroke (two-cycle).


If 2 cycle oil is put into a 2 stroke engine will it damage the engine?

2 stroke and 2 cycle mean the same thing


Is fuel for a two stroke engine fatal to a four stroke engine?

No it isn't fatal, but it would smoke quite a bit, because a two stroke engine needs two stroke oil mixed in the petrol, and a four stroke just needs petrol.


Distinguish 2 stroke from 4 stroke lawn mowers?

Four-stroke lawn mowers have a tube where you add oil to the engine. On two-stroke engines, oil has to be added to the fuel. (Four-stroke and two-stroke are also called four-cycle and two-cycle, respectively).


How do you damage a two stroke engine?

Failing to mix oil with the petrol is a common one.
