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.

How is the best way to reattach the engine splash-guard on a 2002 Toyota Camry xle?
If the retainer clips are missing, replace them. If the holes on the plastic tray have widened so as the attaching bolts/screws fall through; use a washer. If the tray is torn, buy another.
What is causing loss of compression?
Loss of compression can be due to old engine or problem in cylinder head gasket causing leaks.
If you don't know what to do consult or look for professional mechanic.
Recommendation: Replace engine if you over-used it. Like reaching high mileage over 100,000 or 200,000 or 300,000 miles.
-------------------------------------
The engines that i typically see with low or uneven compression have burned or warped valves. Occasionally the rings are bad but that is unusual. The definitive test is to run a cylinder leak down test. You hook an air compressor up to a cylinder with a special tool . If air leaks out of the tailpipe then it is a bad exhaust valve. If air comes out of the Air filter snoot then it is a bad intake valve. And if air comes out of the Valve cover oil fill cap then it is the rings
What are the head bolt torque settings for a 1986 Chevrolet NOVA 1.6 liter 4 cylinder?
Your best bet is to purchase a Haynes Manual that is specific to your car.
What do you do if you put petrol accidentally into a diesel peugeot 206?
if petrol is about 10% or less fill with diesel and carry on. otherwise remove as much as possible and fill with diesel.
1997 have the lt1. And the codes calls for a multiple misfire. Check your ignition stuff. If all else fails the its your optic spark.
Why piston seize due to injector dribbling?
Injector dribbling will wash the oil off the cylinder walls.
Have got to mix gas with oil on 1979 kawasaki440 drifter?
Mix 2 cycle oil with gasoline. The ratio is around 50 to 1.
Usually "internal leakage" is caused by overheating the engine (low coolant, bad thermostat, broken hoses) and continuing to drive the engine. The head(s) warp, causing the gasket to fail, or the heads or block can crack if it gets hot enough. After that, the engine will have internal leaking and there isn't anything you can do about it short of a rebuild.
What should the compression on a Chevy 2.2 ltr engine be?
It should be no lower than about 125 pounds but if it is even that is more important.
Anything above 100 psi is good, but not more than 200, because then you'll start blowing spark plugs out of their seats
What happens if you don't properly reset your engine?
"reset your engine"?? this makes no sense. If you mean what happens if you don't reset your check engine light, then the answer is usually that the car will put itself in fail safe mode or limp mode. Depending on model and what code is causing the check engine light. Either way gas mileage will suffer, and usually car is limited in RPM's and power.
How can you remove a stripped bolt from the crank shaft pulley of a 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass?
Try purchasing "Bolt-Out", made by Craftsman, available at Sears. GEts wonderful reviews for removing stripped bolts!
How much horsepower does a b16?
In most cases (accept some JDM versions) it will around 160 hp in stock form at the crank.
After changing the water pump why wouldn't you be able to get the water to run through the engine?
Bad new water pump, thermostat installed upside down, hoses reversed, slipping water pump belt, system needs bleeding and has an air pocket.
You must bleed the cooling system of all the air. Set the heater control to hot also when this is done to remove all the air in the system
What causes clicking from engine?
If clicking while trying to start then might be a bad starter. If clicking while running, then might be valve/lifter noise.
What is an engine breather and what is its purpose?
It is a filtered opening in one of the valve covers and allows the PCV to draw filtered air through the crankcase.
Engine Breather Systems
Inside an engine internal pressure is produced within the crankcase. This pressure is generally caused by a small leakage of combustion gasses past the piston rings, this is known as blow-by. If this pressure is not released, the subsequent build up can cause gaskets and seals to fail, creating engine oil leaks.
How do you find the top dead center on your engine?
- Make shure the key is switched off and no one is near the switch !!**
The timing mark being at 0 is one way but another way and to inshure that it is at absolute top dead center, depending on the engine and if the plug hole is straight over the piston as oposed to the side and at an angle, (in whitch case you just need to be more careful not to catch the object used in a pintch ) Anyway place a screwdriver or slim straight long object thru the opening were the no. 1 plug is (in a four cyclender that would probably be the plug nearest the belt pully on the crankshaft, oposit/furtherest from the rotor cap )((DONT USE the starter for this !!! ) and hand turn with breakerbar or via the alternator pully while continuing to hol the screwdriver/object straight up ((you decide how just get err done.)) Continue turning until that screwdriver is at its highest point and you got it.(rock easly back and forth to find that true up position if necessary ) As for the valves being on fire and not exhaust if you know were #1 plug wire is on the distribitor and it lands there when your screw driver is up, well there it is, perfect top dead center and on #1 plug ready to fire. amen. P.S. You could also use a light or if you are rich , a fiber optic viewing device, and simply look into the Number 1 Plug hole and whatch for it to come all the way up.SpyResearch...search for the piston stop method, do not trust an answer from a person that can not even spell.
Common rail diesel basic description:
A common rail diesel engine differs from a conventional diesel engine in several important respects. A conventional diesel engine works via a mechanical injection system, which relies on the engine's diesel injection pump to deliver the required fuel pressure, at the correct time, to the diesel injector in order to allow the injector to operate. Each individual injector on a conventional diesel engine has its own pipe or "rail" connecting the injector to the mechanical pump, allowing the delivery of fuel to the injector. Common rail diesel injection systems work on a much different principle. In this system the mechanical controls are replaced by electronic controls to allow for more precise metering and timing of the fuel delivery into the engine, and therefore the injection pump is no longer solely responsible for the operation of the injection system. Also, the individual injector rails are replaced by 1 (or 2) "common rail" which operates under a constant high pressure. There is no injection pump associated with this system, yet a high pressure pump is still required to deliver the high pressure fuel to the common rail. The high pressure pump is capable of producing (depending on the system used) approximately 29000 psi of pressure into the common rail. At the correct time the electronic injector is operated and the fuel is injected into the engine allowing ignition to occur. The timing and fuel quantity is controlled by an advanced engine management system which gathers data on the engine conditions via a collection of sensors. All of these sensors measure different system parameters to calculate the correct fueling for the engine at any given moment.
Is double pumper same as a 4 barrel carb?
a double pumper is a 4 barrel carb. commonly made by holley. they were called this because they have two accelerator pumps. one on each float bowl on either end of the carb. most carbs do not have this feature, they usually only have one accelerator pump.
Where is the number 5 cylinder located?
On the (4.6L) The number 5 cylinder is located on Driver side first one from the radiator. On the (5.7L) The number 5 cylinder is located on Driver side first one from the radiator.
