The Advance CurveAll engines require an ignition curve based both on the requirements of engine rpm and cylinder filling (volumetric efficiency). This means that at 3,000 rpm with the throttle open ...

Essentially, a multi-cylinder engine is a collection of individualengines operating at different combustion and mechanical efficiencies.If we can optimize the power output from each one, the overall ...

An engine's health depends on several key measures and functions. For example, air and fuel need to be present in the correct quantities, coolant is required to keep the engine operating at a safe ...

Every engine has a means of coordinating the timing between the valve train and the rest of the engine. Some engines use a timing chain and some a timing belt. A timing belt has the relatively ...

BorgWarner has begun manufacturing its advanced engine timing systems in El Salto, Mexico, providing localised production for Volkswagen's third-generation 2.0- and 1.8-litre DOHC I4 engines built at ...

BorgWarner will begin manufacturing advanced engine timing chains at its campus in Itatiba City, Brazil, in late 2015 in a move it claims make it the first automotive supplier to produce chains ...

Timing belts themselves are relatively inexpensive but can easily cause thousands of dollars of damage if they break while the engine is running. Engines come in two configurations: Interference and ...
