quiz 2 Flashcards
symmetrical port timing
occurs when ports open/close at same number of degrees from dead center but in different quadrants
2-stroke engine cylinder location
single cylinder
inline series
v-series
open and close intake/transfer ports and exhaust ports
controlled by the piston crown
when are intake/exhaust valves open
valve overlap is the length of time at which both valves are open
purpose for intake/exhaust opening
the volumetric efficiency increases at high rpm by scavenging cylinder
scavenge the combustion chamber
4-stroke valve part that contacts seat
valve face seals against valve seat in cylinder head
suzuki service manual major changes
suzuki produces complete service manual whenever a model undergoes major changes
5 events of 4-stroke engines
intake
compression
timed ignition
power
exhaust
TDC piston position in cylinder
farthest from crankshaft
compression event
compression stroke
piston movement
piston travels from BDC to TDC
purpose of bottom piston rings
scraper rings add to sealing of compression ring
stroke events/piston movement
intake: piston first downward stroke
compression: piston first upward stroke
ignition: piston near top of upward stroke
power: piston second downward
exhaust: piston second upward stroke
valve closing device
valve coil springs
camshaft motions changes via
a mechanical valve controller
scavenging
evacuation of spent exhaust gases by the force of incoming air/fuel mixture
cylinder measurements point for wear
6 measuring points total
check for taper and out of rounds patterns
top end components, 4-stroke
combustion chamber
valve train
camshaft
intake/exhaust ports
cooling passages
engine revolutions 4-stroke process
4 strokes
2 crankshaft revolutions
1 camshaft revolution
wrist pins retaining clips, position, orientation
the retainer clip opening in line to be with the connecting rod
never re use wrist pin
2-stroke engine events in order
intake
compression
ignition
power
exhaust
transfer
major moving parts on 2-stroke engines
piston
connecting rod
crankshaft
piston construction methods
cast piston because it is light, has a thin wall for low expansion
forged pistons have a thicker wall. contain less silicon which expands more
