See How Cylinder Heads Are Supposed to be Rebuilt.
February 1st, 2010
The video below is of John @ Costa Mesa R&D Automotive Machine following the procedure to replace the valve guides in the cylinder head of one of the Chevy engines nicknamed the ‘small block’, which is in the process of being rebuilt. It is one of the steps in the entire procedure of fully rebuilding [...]
Automotive Engine Anatomy 3D Video.
January 8th, 2010
This 3D video of how car engines go together is entertaining and educational. Not only does it show the components, but they are operating in slow-motion. For those of you interested in how an engine actually operates internally, this should clear it up, the tunes and lyrics are very appropriate also.
Well, did you enjoy it. [...]
Engine Theory: Cylinder Deactivation
August 29th, 2009
The idea behind cylinder deactivation theory on modern engines, sometimes referred to as multiple displacement, displacement on demand (DOD), or (VCM) variable cylinder management, is that certain cylinders deactivate during low power situations. Controlled by a primitive computer by today’s standards.
The Cadillac L63 V-8-6-4 engines were the first to try that, if I remember [...]
Variable Valve Timing & Lift (VVT&L)
August 29th, 2009
Also called variable valve actuation (VVT), variable-cam timing and variable valve timing and lift electronic control (VTEC)
Engines with Variable Valve Timing & Lift Valves control the flow of air and fuel, into the cylinders and exhaust out of them. When and how long the valves open (timing) and how much the valves move (lift) both [...]

Finishing up the What is a Single Overhead Cam Engine post:
The main advantages of SOHC Engines Compared to DOHC Engines
A single overhead camshaft set up basically represents a simpler version of the more complex dual overhead cam engine. As indicated in its name, a dual overhead cam uses two camshafts per bank of cylinders [...]

Continuation article on catalytic converters…
May 28th, 2009
Part-2 continuation post from yesterdays ‘Cat’ post.
On 1996 and newer vehicles that have On Board Diagnostics II (OBD II), there is a “catalyst monitor” that monitors the operating efficiency of the converter. A second oxygen sensor is mounted behind the converter to compare oxygen levels in the exhaust before and after the converter.
Under normal operating [...]
Automotive engine catalytic converters or ‘cats’- part-1…
May 28th, 2009
What is the one of most important emissions control devices on a vehicle today? The catalytic converter, because it helps cleans many exhaust pollutants that exit the engine. It operates at temperatures of 600 to 1000 degrees F.
BTW: Parking over a pile of dry leaves or the like can start a fire..
If the converter does its [...]
