Time was when a valve job was done with some valve-grinding compound and a vacuum cup on a stick. But no more. Today's high performance engines require the same machining precision in the valves that ...
Pushrod engines typically use two valves per cylinder, and as a result this engine style is often mocked when used in modern vehicles. Fewer, larger valves results in more reciprocating mass which can ...
This is a category that is pretty rapidly going away. You'll be hard-pressed to find an overhead valve — also known as a pushrod — engine in anything outside of a General Motors LS/LT V8 or one of ...
For many Ford enthusiasts, merely uttering the words modular engine conjures thoughts of complexity and uniqueness. The overhead camshaft design and different-looking cylinder heads have the die-hard ...
Does your engine need a valve adjustment? It depends on the age, condition and brand of vehicle you’re driving. Due to the popularization of roller-follower valve train designs that reduce friction ...
While the engineering community continues to explore the benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles—i.e., the environmental and renewable energy factors—the automotive market is still dependent on ...
