Fuel and Engines

About 15 cents a pound at the scrap dealer.

Because different engines have different advantages. Steam engines can be run from anything that burns, but are big and heavy. 2-stroke (gasoline) engines has great power-to-weight ratio, but tend to use a lot of fuel and create a lot of emissions.

4-stroke Diesel engines tend to run rougher and don't rev as high as gasoline engines but are more fuel efficient and often have more torque.

Without a lot of skills, I would port and match the intake and exhaust tracks. If it has a bunch of hours on it You can get a top end rebuilt kit (cylinder, piston, wrist pin and gaskets) for 247 dollars shipped through Amazon.

If someone is looking to purchase a diesel engine compression tester there are a variety of online sources. One can find these testers on sites such as Mercedes Source, Harbor Freight, Amazon or eBay.

Yes. It's difficult to go wrong with a GM 90 degree V engine, although gaskets tend to be their weak spot.

A 2005 PT Cruiser does have a fuel pump relay. They have a fuel pump relay rather than a fuel pump switch. The fuel pump relay is located in the fuse box.

A 50 cc engine typically has a top speed of around 30 to 40 miles per hour (48 to 64 kilometers per hour), depending on factors like the vehicle's weight, design, and aerodynamics. These engines are commonly found in scooters, mopeds, and small motorcycles, making them suitable for urban commuting rather than high-speed travel. Additionally, performance may vary with modifications and maintenance.

The intake manifold in a motor is like the lungs of your car. Air is taken in through the intake manifold and then is evenly distributed to the cylinders to mix with gas.

The first traction engine was introduced in the 1850s. The first successful traction engine was developed after a series of experiments by Thomas Aveling in 1859.

The operation of a nitro engine is similar to a normal gas/diesel engine, where a fuel mixture is ignited, and the energy drives cylinders back and forth in a cycle, all the while keeping an element hot so that the fuel stays ignited. The only difference is that a nitro mixture is more complicated, so a hole has to be bored into the engine so the mixture can keep flowing in a certain way.

A K20 engine is a very high power Honda motor. You can most likely buy one off of sites that specialize in selling high power car parts or could possibly contact your local Honda dealership.

Intake is an integral part of any irrigation system. The intake is where water is drawn into the irrigation system, either from a body of water or from a water system. This water is then distributed through the irrigation system to water the plants.

Unmetered air entering the system before the Bank 1 or Bank 2 O2 sensor will send a false lean reading to the ECM. This could cause the ECM to extend the fuel trim. This could cause eccess fuel to pass through the catalaytic converter. This could cause damage to the catalytic converter. If the fuel trim stays below +25%, the check engine light may not illuminate so the problem may go undetected until the cat gets ruined.

A Harley Shovelhead engine is unique in the way it leaves the engine without a cover and instead uses rocker arms and rocker boxes. As well as a unique look it enabled the bikes have 10% more horsepower than pan head engines.

You have to use a dynamo-meter to check engine output. Whether it is hp or torque figures, you can also make use of a towing dynamo meter which is more cost effective.

There are a few options. Since "big rig" is an American term, I'll assume you're talking about American trucks. For a typical tractor-trailer unit with a total of five axles, the engine displacement can range from 10 to 16 liters. 10, 11, and 12 liter engines will be more common for local trucks, doing things such as P&D, LTL, etc. Line haul, long distance trucks most commonly have a 13 to 15 liter engine. The only manufacturer currently offering a 16 liter is Volvo. The current (as of 8/2015) truck manufacturers in the US are PACCAR, Inc. (Kenworth and Peterbilt), Volvo A.B. (Volvo and Mack), Daimler A.G. (Freightliner and Western Star), and Navistar (International, and a cooperative effort with Caterpillar, Inc.). Ford got out of that Class 8 truck business in 1997, when they sold their heavy duty truck line to Daimler A.G. (who put the trucks into production under the Sterling name ontil 2009). General Motors got out of it in 1988, when they sold out to Volvo A.B. Marmon closed their doors in 1997.
Engines currently available for these trucks include the 11 liter Cummins ISM and 12 and 15 liter Cummins ISX (available in all makes of truck), 13 liter VE-D13 (available in Volvos and in Macks as the MP-8), 16 liter VE-D16 (available in Volvos and in Macks as the MP-10), 13 liter Maxxforce 13 (available in Internationals and an engine based on this one is used in Caterpillar trucks), 13 liter Detroit DD13 (available in Freightliners and Western Stars), 15 liter DD15 (available in Freightliners and Western Stars), and 13 liter PACCAR MX13 (available in Kenworths and Peterbilts). Caterpillar got out of highway diesel after 2009, after the fiasco with their SDP engines. Detroit Diesel engines became exclusive to Daimler A.G. products (Freightliner, Western Star, and, until 2009, Sterling) after 2002 (they had previously been available in most makes of truck prior). Mercedes-Benz engines were available in Daimler A.G. products from 2003 - 2009.
