Fuel and Engines

A cetane number is a rating given to diesel fuels. It is a rating of how fast the diesel fuel ignites under compression. In diesel engines, there are no spark plugs and the engine uses compression (pressure) to cause ignition.

No, it doesn't. All it does is turn on the green LED if the voltage is below 11.5V and the red one if it's above 11.5V. It also contains a non-functional voltage regulator circuit.

freeze out plugs are metal plugs in the block and heads of your engine. they are are there if the coolant was mixed wrong with to much water and the vehicle freezes they will pop out allowing expansion of freezing liquid hopefully saving the engine

Part 2: You will see these called freeze plugs, casting plugs, welsh plugs and probably other terms. The holes they plug are part of the cylinder block casting process to allow molten steel/iron/aluminum to rapidly flow into the block casting mold. The fact that they will pop out if the coolant in the engine freezes can be serendipitous but in most cases the plugs go bad due to galvanic action: the steel plugs installed at the factory are dissimilar to the engine block metal and will start to corrode (rust) and will start leaking after a while. This is why most antifreeze manufacturers claim they have anti-corrosion protection; it is also why 99% of replacement plugs are brass. Three points to remember: 1) before replacing plugs do your research and find out EXACTLY how many plugs your engine has and where they are. 2) if you have to replace one plug, replace them all. 3) if you are rebuilding an engine it is cheap insurance to replace the plugs.

If your vehicle struggles to accelerate beyond 40 mph and exhibits engine chugging, it could indicate issues such as a clogged fuel filter, failing spark plugs, or problems with the fuel pump. Additionally, a malfunctioning sensor, like the mass airflow sensor or throttle position sensor, might be affecting engine performance. It's important to diagnose the issue promptly, as continued driving under these conditions can lead to further damage. Consulting a mechanic for a thorough inspection is recommended.

Um that's not right, that's a red flag. Get it checked out.

No, it is an International engine.

Engine rattling during acceleration in your 1996 Grand Marquis could be caused by several factors, including a loose or damaged exhaust system, worn engine mounts, or issues with the timing chain or belt. It might also indicate problems with the fuel system or ignition timing. It's advisable to have a mechanic inspect the vehicle to diagnose the exact cause and prevent further damage. Regular maintenance can help mitigate such issues in older vehicles.

rocket engine seems to be of this type. as the air-fuel mixture is burned and flame is made to propogate through nozzle to provide thrust

The lifter bucket, which is on top of the valve stem, and the spring in the Overhead Cam engine aides in adjusting the valve clearance.

Two complete revolutions, therefore 720 degrees.

A short block is a engine that has NO heads are intake. Some short blocks don't even have a oil pan and timing cover either.

A long block is the entire engine complete.

If the vehicle is getting very low on fuel, the fuel pump may be picking up debris in the fuel tank, which can clog the fuel pump, fuel filter, and/or fuel injection system.
