Combustion Engines

There are a lot of ways a cylinder can "blow".

If a piston burns through, it will keep running, but with a dead hole.

Same thing if a cylinder head cracks.

However, the master con rod is on #1 cylinder and the journals for the other 8 are machined into it. A failure of the #1 rod could conceivably destroy the timing enough that the others are out too. A catastrophic failure in the top (#1) jug could also send bits of metal into the crankcase.

"bank one" is misleading on a four cylinder engine, since there is only one bank to begin with. Bank 1, sensor 1 is the upstream O2 sensor screwed into the exaust system before the catalytic converter. Bank 1 sensor 2 is screwd into the exaust system downstream of the catalytic converter.

Depends on what 1.8 liter motor you have. VW has made many 1.8 liter motors from the 1975 8 valve to the new"er" 1.8 T many of those are interference, many are not.

more information is needed to give you accurate anwser.

As a unwavering absolute rule change ALL VW timing belts 20K before the "spec", yes even the updated belts. They are easy to perform and not worth the hassle of the unexpected tow. Then you are at the mercy of your mechanics time schedule.

Remember you must always replace the tensioner without out an exception when the timing belt is replaced.

I am an avid VW enthusiast, not a scammer mechanic trying to rob 20k miles from your service interval. I am trying to extend the life of your beautiful VW engine.

That code is manufacturer specific...I would need to know the vehicle information.

The combustion stroke is where all of the power from an engine is derived making it the most important however the other strokes play a role in how well the combustion process is completed. Each stroke is vital in the process of combustion.

The cubic capacity of an engine and the speed of the vehicle are different things.

A boat fitted with an engine would not attain the same speed as a motorcycle fitted with a similar engine.

depends on the model of your TL TL premium

Nikolavs August Otto,German. The first practical "four-stroke" engine was patented by the Otto and Langen Company of Deutz, Germany. Nikolaus Otto was a salesman with a grocer when he read of Lenoir's two-stroke gas-driven internal combustion engine. Otto started a workshop in Deutz near Cologne, supported by Langen in 1863. He had a model engine built and improved upon the gas engine, making it a practical power source. The four-stroke Otto Engine was invented in 1876, and a large number of engines were produced under the patent of Otto and Langen. It was however, a German engineer named Gottlieb Daimler, who, carried out much of the development work on the engine. Daimler was at the time employed with Otto and Langen, and a substantial credit for the success is due to him.

Yes.

The oil will expand as the temperature of the engine increases leading to numerous problems from blowing gaskets to aerating the oil which leads to poor lubrication of the main components.

In a nutshell it's can be as bad as underfilling.

Because it's in too high of a gear, and the engine is struggling to get up to speed.

Take off the air cleaner and cover. There will be a rod attached to the throttle arm. Locate that rod and follow it back to what will most likely look something like a lever extending out from the engine block. That is the external portion of the governor. There are also gears and a counterweight inside the engine that act in conjunction with the external parts.

Clessie Lyle Cummins was an entrepreneur who made huge improvements on already existing diesel engines. In 1919 he invented the first "Cummins" diesel engine and received 33 United States Patent Awards for his invention. He had drastically improved previous diesel engines to make them faster, more powerful, durable, and reliable. Some well maintained cummins engines have reached over 1 million miles without any rebuilds making them the best diesel engine available until current day. -by Eric Estrada

water could have gotten into the spark plug holes. water + spark= no good. Only a few spark plugs could be firing, take them out, and check for water.

what kind of engine do you have these numbers on it 557265

If coolant is rusty or dirty - yes

It depends on the condition of the engine. If the engine is relatively new, you can use a "Synthetic" oil that will keep the sludge from building up. If the engine has more than 50K mi, don't change from the brand you've been using. If the oil pressure is low at an idle, change to an oil that's a little "thicker", meaning that it will have higher viscosity numbers. In general, you want to use the lowest viscosity numbers possible that will keep the oil pressure up.

We all need the Internal Combustion Engine because we wouldnt have lived without it. we need the engine for cars, buses, trains, trams etc. It is mostly the most help of transportation in the world! continuing, let say you had a job and you were late for a meeting, (this is when the combustion engine was not invented) you need to get there fast or else you will take the sack but you did not have a car and if you did you need an engine to power it.
