How can you convert petrol engine in into diesel engine?
You can convert a petrol engine into a diesel engine by changing the fuel injectors. The fuel filters will also need to be changed.
The 200S is powered to life by an overhead cam four-stroke single cylinder 192 cc engine
What is backfiring in engines?
Two main kinds: true backfire is when flame leaps out of the intake manifold ... usually when trying to start the car.
The more common form is when a air/fuel mixture builds up in the exhaust system and ignites. Often caused by a single cylinder not firing every time (or not at all).
How can a 5.7 hemi engine be damaged?
Rocks, hammers, and baseball bats.
Pretty much detonation can hard your engine if the timing is off and your using crappy octane fuel. over reving the engine.
LAst but not Least, the worst enemy of any Engine is HEAT!!
What device mixes air and petrol for internal combustion engine?
The traditional such device for a gasoline engine is a carburetor, but modern engines can also use injection nozzles; these are standard for diesel engines.
engines cease because, it is our misconception that the cylinder of the engine is cylindrical,in actual the cylinder walls are slightly slanting.
and th diameter of the piston is a bit less than that of the cylinderwalls,which is known as clearance,,which is formulated for the smooth running of piston,,but when the temperature inside the cylinder increases above a certain level,the walls of the cylinder and the piston expands.but the expansion ratio is different for both,,as the cylinder is made of cast iron and piston with aluminium,which decreases the gap to certain level that there is no movement of piston,which is called as ceasinf of engine.
Who was the 1886 German scientist who devised an internal combustion engine?
1886 - Karl Benz received the first patent (DRP No. 37435) for a gas-fueled car.
1889 - Gottlieb Daimler built an improved four-stroke engine with mushroom-shaped valves and two V-slant cylinders.
1890 - Wilhelm Maybach built the first four-cylinder, four-stroke engine.
What is an engine map and can you speak of an 'engine map range'?
engine map is a graph of an engine each part and where they are located engine map range 91 Chevy s10 pickup truck
engine map is a graph of an engine each part and where they are located engine map range 91 Chevy s10 pickup truck
Indeed the do in fact they have it in both side. [Weird right]
Who invented the automatic gear shift and the supercharge system for internal combustion engines?
Ferdinand Porsche invented the first supercharged Mercedes-Benz SS & SSK sports cars in Stuttgart, Germany in 1923. In 1832, W. H. James invented a rudimentary three-speed transmission. Panhard and Levassor are credited with the invention of the modern transmission - installed in their 1895 Panhard. On April 28, 1908, Leonard Dyer obtained one of the earliest patents for an automobile transmission. The first Automatic transmission in an American car was Oldsmobile.
Identify the source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine?
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
How do vtec engines compare to zetec engines?
by the torque power in them zetec is more powerful thats why is used on muscle cars and vtec is more fitted for light weight cars
Is the BMW E34 engine a non-interfering type engine?
The 525i is definitely a interference engine. It also has a timing belt that needs to be replaced every 60,000 miles to keep this from happening.
What is meant by hogging and sagging?
See this page which has a very good visual description : http://www.worldwideflood.com/ark/hull_calcs/wave_bm1.htm
When was the first combustion engine made?
"Combustion engine" is a pretty generic term.
Arguably the aeolipile was a very simple combustion engine, and it was described by Hero (that's a name, not a title) of Alexandria in the 1st Century.
James Watt patented his steam engine in 1781.
Robert Stirling developed an external combustion engine that did not use steam in 1816.
The first internal combustion engine that we'd today recognize as an "engine" was probably the one developed by Christiaan Huygens (you may have heard the name before; he's more famous as an astronomer) in the 17th Century. It ran on gunpowder and was designed to operate water pumps for the palace gardens at Versailles.
What does a graduated cylinder look like?
A graduated cylinder is just a tall cylinder with a little spout that tips out, and has markings in 1-10mL spans.
What are the differences between a car engine and a generator engine?
Technically nothing. They are both internal combustion engines. One is driving a transmission and a vehicle and the other is driving a generator.
A generator is used to to produce DC current, that is driven by an electrical AC motor, Hench the term Motor-Generator applies. An engine uses it's own source of fuel, Gasoline, for it's power source. Never call a ENGINE a MOTOR..........
What is an interference engine?
It refers to an engine where the area occupied by the valves when they are open is occupied by the piston when the valves are closed.
If the timing belt lets go while the engine is running the piston will smash the open valves doing loads of damage.
Can low compression on an engine damage a engine?
Low compression indicates that engine damage already exists. An engine's compression will be lost if: there is damage or wear to the pistons or rings there is damage or wear to the valve train there is damage or loss of seal on the cylinder head There are some other factors as well, but these three cover most.

One which generates its power using rotary (like the Wankel engine) rather than reciprocal motion.
Who invented the first internal combustion engine?
In 1859 a Belgian engineer Jean Joseph Étienne Lenoirdeveloped the first internal combustion engine. It was a single-cylinder two-stroke engine which burnt a mixture of coal gas and air ignited by a spark-ignition system. He patented it in 1860.
Nicolaus Otto invented a gas motor engine in 1876. He built the first practical four-stroke internal combustion engine, called the "Otto Cycle Engine", and built it into a motorcycle.
Otto's patent was later revoked when it was contested by Beau de Rochas.
Who invented the combustion engine and why?
Samuel Morey and it was made to improve how we live and to make scientific progress
