Fuel and Engines
We commonly relate fuel and engines with gasoline. Other engines also run on natural gas such as propane and “bio-fuels” such as ethanol. The principle remains the same as the fuel induces internal combustion.

What should the engine compression for a 440 engine?
Depends on the year, cam, compression ratio. engine warm, 130-165psi, long duration lowers psi, overlap increases psi., solid cam with same duration would be higher than hyd. due to increased valve rate. All reading should be +/- 10%
What does a blown engine look like?
it depends on what went bad if it threw a rod out the side of the block your going to see it but it droped the bottom half of a piston in the oil pan it would miss and cut out and sooner or later stop running and lock up
Does a two stroke engine have only one valve per cylinder?
Some two stroke engines have 4 valves, Detroit Diesel 71 series and 53 series engines for example.
Most small 2 stroke engines have no "Valves" at all in the sense of the "POP" valve used in four stroke engines.
Some people feel these engine has one valve because the piston acts as the valve covering the ports cut into the cylinder walls.
Are turbine jet engine environmentally friendly?
Turbine jet engines are generally not considered environmentally friendly due to their significant greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which contribute to climate change and air pollution. Additionally, they produce noise pollution and can impact local ecosystems. However, advancements in technology, such as more efficient engines and sustainable aviation fuels, are being developed to reduce their environmental impact. Overall, while improvements are being made, traditional turbine jet engines still have considerable environmental drawbacks.
How much horsepower is in a 1641cc?
Without knowing year, make, and model, it is impossible to answer a question like that.
4 speed refers more to the gearing (transmission) than the engine, unless you mean what is a 4 cycle engine. (intake compression ignition exhaust)usually they are 3 4 o5 5 speeds or gears. On Automaticss that have 4, usually the 4th is overdrive for freeway cruising.
No it was not if your reffering to the oldsmobile cutlass 442 then that stands for, 4 barrel carb, 4 speed, and Dual exhaust.
How reliable is an ISX engine?
Depends on what year. The first ISX engines had a lot of teething troubles. By 2005, they'd gotten them worked out. Late 2008 to 2011 weren't good years for engine manufacturers, as the Diesel Particulate Filters caused a whole lot of problems. 2012 and newer, with the SCR, are much more reliable, as the SCR eliminates the need for an EGR, and greatly reduces the soot load on the DPF.
What does it mean when an engine can breathe?
Engines need air to operate, they take it in and expel it while running.
Is gasohol for two cycle engines only?
don't use gasohol in a 2 cycle engine. It's not good for them in general and if it's his performance it will ruin it. Some 4 stroke engines can use it, but check your manual. Keep it out of hi performance stuff . Generally avoid it if possible. Generally, the purer your fuel, the Better the performance.
Is a 1999 3.0 L ranger engine an overhead cam engine?
No , the 3.0 liter " Vulcan " V6 engine in a 1999 Ford Ranger is an
( Over Head Valve / pushrod design engine )
How many horses does a 2005 5.4l have?
In a 2005 Ford F-150 and 2005 Ford Expedition :
( the 5.4 litre V8 engine is rated at 300 horsepower )
It is the volume of fuel the cylinder (and piston) of an engine can take! Generally, higher is more horsepower and lower is better fuel economy
What is the part that the pcv hose connects to in the engine?
Generaly on end is in a valve cover and the other is in the intake.
Generaly on end is in a valve cover and the other is in the intake.
Why gasoline is not used in diesel engines?
Gasoline does not combust properly, or at all, in a compression ignition engine. Gasoline is designed to be ignited by a spark.
The speed of a 124 cc engine can vary significantly depending on the vehicle type, weight, and design. Generally, a 124 cc engine can achieve speeds of around 60 to 80 km/h (37 to 50 mph) in motorcycles and scooters. In lighter vehicles, such as small bikes or mopeds, speeds may be slightly higher. Overall, the performance will also depend on factors like gearing and aerodynamics.
Yes, in fact, it is. There is a definite limit that the sound barrier imposes on a propeller's efficiency. 2700 rpm represents a compromise between the tip of the propeller breaking the sound barrier (which lowers propeller efficiency) and optimum propeller efficiency. Typically, the longer a propeller, the more slowly it turns. Racing propellers are typically shorter, and turn at higher rpm: 3000 - 3300. But even with racing props, there is an ultimate efficiency attainable at high speeds.
