  2. General Motors LS-based small-block engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_LS-based...

    The cylinder firing order was changed to 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 [46] so that the LS series now corresponds to the firing pattern of other modern V8 engines (for example the Ford Modular V8). 3.898 in. bore blocks (1997–2005)

    This was Chevrolet's second 4.3L power plant; four other Chevrolet engines displaced 4.3L: the Vortec 4300 (a V6 based on the Chevrolet 350 cu in (5.7 L), with two cylinders removed), the original 265 cu in (4.3 L) V8 in 1954, a bored version of the stovebolt-era 235 inline six displacing 261 cu in (4.3 L), and a derivative of the Generation II ...

  4. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    Straight-six engines typically use a firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4. However, a firing order of 1-2-4-6-5-3 is common on medium-speed marine engines. V6 engines with an angle of 90 degrees between the cylinder banks have used a firing orders of R1-L2-R2-L3-L1-R3 or R1-L3-R3-L2-R2-L1. Several V6 engines with an angle of 60 degrees have used a ...

  5. Engine knocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking

    A control loop is permanently monitoring the signal of one or more knock sensors (commonly piezoelectric sensor which are able to translate vibrations into an electric signal). If the characteristic pressure peak of a knocking combustion is detected the ignition timing is retarded by steps of a few degrees.

    It also replaced the 250 cu in (4.1 L) in the Chevrolet and GMC full-size trucks and full-size vans, and in 1990, it replaced the 292 cu in (4.8 Lsssdrrytgj) in the Step-Vans as the new base six-cylinder engine. 4 The 262 cu in (4.3 L) [convert: invalid option] V6 has a 4 in × 3.48 in (101.6 mm × 88.4 mm) bore and stroke, identical to the 350 ...

    [3] LSPI events are random and infrequent, and their effects on impacted vehicles can include very high-pressure spikes, loud knocking noises and sometimes catastrophic engine damage. [4] It's commonly known as "Detonation or Knock". Engine management systems can overcome pre ignition by the means of a knock or detonation sensor.

  8. GMC straight-6 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMC_Straight-6_engine

    GMC replaced the Pontiac 223 with their own 228-cubic-inch (3.7 L) 228 in 1939. This OHV (overhead valve) engine was produced through 1953. With a cylinder bore of 3.5625 inches (90.49 mm), this is the smallest low-deck engine. All four low-deck engines have a stroke of 3.8125 inches (96.84 mm) and used 7 inch long connecting rods.

  9. Straight-six engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-six_engine

    Typical firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4 3890-litre MAN B&W 6S60MC marine diesel engine If an appropriate firing order is used, a straight-six engine has perfect primary and secondary engine balance . The primary balance is due to the front and rear trio of cylinders moving in pairs (albeit 360° out of phase), thus canceling out the rocking motion ...
