Cam lift and timing can put the valves dangerously close to the piston. We show you how to check the clearance In all but most the mild engine builds, taking extra time to check piston to valve ...

A novel approach using computational fluid dynamics techniques provides a way for determining the characteristics of gas passing through a gas-lift valve. In the method, CFD calculations numerically ...

Surging gas prices and impending regulations are causing automakers to hunt for ways to increase the efficiency of gasoline engines. One of the chief inefficiencies of these engines is the restriction ...

Engines are complex bits of machinery. At their core level, yes, it's easy to understand what is happening. Air and fuel enter the engine where they are ignited and combustion occurs resulting in ...

Check valves are installed in many piping systems. Their purpose is to allow flow in only one direction, which can be critical for plant safety and to protect equipment from damage. There are a few ...
