how many crankshaft revolutions in a full 4 stroke cycle ?
Two
metallic sodium cooled valves
sodium melts and the liquids take heat away from the valve head
piston displacement formula
V=A x h
compression ratio
=Total Volume/comb camber
oil viscosity
resistance to flow
oil flash point
temp at which a liquid begins to give off ignitable vapors
oil fire point
temp at which a liquid there are sufficient vapors to support a flame
oil cloud point
temp at which it wax content begin to solidify and separates on crystals
oil pour point
lowest temp at which it flows or can be poured
functions of lubricating oil
- reduce friction
- seal
- cushion
- cooling
- cleaning
- corrosion
- hydraulic action
type of oil sump
gear type constant displacement
what is a gerotor pump
another type of constant displacement,consist in an engine -driven spur gear that rotates within a free sniping rotor housing
scavenge pump
return oil to the reservoir, can be gerotor or gear pump
what means updraft or downdraft in carbs,
- direction of the air flow
- most AC used updraft
what is a throttle valve or butterfly valve
controls the amount of air passing through carburetor
main metering on (carbs )
supplies fuel to the venturi at all speeds above idle
main discharge nozzle (carbs)
incorporate an air bleed which helps atomize fuel (breaks fuel tension )
