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.

the simplest engine that is made up of a burning chamber and a nozzle is a rocket.

How many valves does a 2stroke engine have?

As any 4 stroke engines, it depends on the amount of cylinders it has although it is commonly said that "2 stroke engines do not have valves", this saying mainly applies to out boards, weed eaters and these types of engine, but some GM engines such as the 671s and some others do carry valves.

Where are the contacts on a Briggs and Stratton 11hp engine?

Depending on year and model of motor. : You will find the contacts either under the fly wheel or there will be a pick-up on the coil.

Why do engines get hot?

The energy produced by the engine is mostly used to power the car, but due to an imperfect design, some energy still remains in the form of heat.

How do you remove engine 3.0 escape?

I would suggest using Google to find this answer.

but a quick summary would be:

drain engine oild

drain radiator fluid

drain tranny oil ( if comming off as a separate peice)

remove intake

remove all house connected to engine

Unbolt all the engine mounts and tranny mounts

using an engine lifter, hoist the engine out of the engine bay

repeat the steps backwards to install engine

don't forget to replace all the engine fluids that were drained!

What are Briggs 5hp engine specs?

Engine Size
  • The Briggs & Stratton Raptor engine features a bore between 2.56125 and 2.5625 inches and a stroke of 2.438 inches. This corresponds to a total engine displacement of 12.48 cubic inches per engine cycle.

    More modern Briggs & Stratton 5 horsepower engines feature the same 12.48 cubic inches of engine displacement, but achieve that volume of displacement using a wider bore and a shorter stroke. The currently produced Animal, 206 and World Formula engines feature a bore between 2.6875 and 2.6885 inches and a stroke of 2.2 inches.

Compression Ratio
  • The original Raptor series of engines featured a compression ratio -- the ratio of the length of the stroke to the length of the combustion chamber -- of 6.5 to 1. Despite their shorter strokes, modern Briggs & Stratton engines also feature shorter combustion chambers and thus have higher compression ratios. The World Formula has a compression ratio of 9.5 to 1, the 206 has a compression ratio of 9 to 1, and the Animal has a compression ratio of 8.5 to 1.

Ignition Timing
  • The factory-specified optimal ignition timing for the Raptor engine is 22 degrees before top of dead center (BTDC). The Animal, 206 and World Formula engines are factory-designed for an ignition timing of 29 degrees BTDC.

Aftermarket Modifications
  • Many users modify their Briggs & Stratton racing engines to improve on, or the stretch the limits of, engine performance. If you purchase a used Briggs & Stratton motor, ask the seller about any modifications that have been performed and how they may affect engine performance.

How much horsepower does an LS6 engine have?

Depends on what year LS6

The 1970 LS6 454cid was rated at 450hp/500 lb-ft. Actual hp was around 500.

The 2001 LS6 produced 385 bhp (287 kW) and 385 lb·ft (522 N·m), but the engine was modified for 2002 through 2004 to produce 405 bhp (302 kW) and 400 lb·ft (542 N·m) of torque.

What does it cost to rebuild a semi truck engine?

It depends on the extent of the rebuild, and if any optional upgrades are chosen by the owner. At the time of a engine overhaul, it's much easier to install parts that might be nearly worn out or to upgrade to better parts. So, there are a lot of decisions to be made and they all affect the price of the job.

Also, an engine rebuild could take place with the engine IN the truck (called an "In Frame") or the engine could come out for the rebuild (an "Out Of Frame") If the engine stays in the truck, the "In Frame" might cost $16,000 to $20,000. An "Out Of Frame" rebuild might cost $35,000 or more.

What would cause a pinging noise when the engine is hot?

that sound is caused by hot air causing the metal pipes to expand.

Pinging is caused the exhaust valve closes before all the exhaust gases are out and the intake valve opens and new fuel enters. One of the best ways to fix it is to adjust your timing, or change your fuel octane to a higher one.

What can you do that will make a truck engine sound deeper and louder?

This would require the modification of the exhaust system. The sound of any vehicle comes from the exhaust and not really the engine. A deep "throaty" sound is achieved by streamlining the exhaust system. This will also increase horse power because the engine won't have to work so hard to push the exhaust out thus more power is available to push the truck. If you have no knowledge of vehicles then exhaust modification should be handled by a pro. Keep in mind that some States have emission laws and there are always noise laws to consider as well.

When was the Wankel engine created?

The first running prototype was completed in 1957

What are engine oil temperature ranges?
