  2. Engine knocking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking

    In spark-ignition internal combustion engines, knocking (also knock, detonation, spark knock, pinging or pinking) occurs when combustion of some of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder does not result from propagation of the flame front ignited by the spark plug, but when one or more pockets of air/fuel mixture explode outside the envelope of the normal combustion front.

  3. Engine braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

    This type of brake produces extreme amounts of noise pollution if there is no muffler on the intake manifold of the engine, loud enough to disturb the surrounding area. Anecdotally, it sounds similar to a jackhammer , however, the loudness is between 10 and 20 times the sound pressure level of a jackhammer (10 to 13 dB greater).

  4. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Engine balance refers to how the inertial forces produced by moving parts in an internal combustion engine or steam engine are neutralised with counterweights and balance shafts, to prevent unpleasant and potentially damaging vibration. The strongest inertial forces occur at crankshaft speed (first-order forces) and balance is mandatory, while ...

  5. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

    In most steam engine designs there is a short time at the end of the return stroke of the piston when all the valves are shut and it is compressing any remaining steam. Water can be introduced from the boiler or in a cold engine, steam will condense to water on the cool walls of the cylinders and can potentially hydrolock an engine.

  6. Brinelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinelling

    A rolling element bearing's static load rating is defined to avoid this failure type. Increasing the number of elements can provide better distribution of the load, so bearings intended for a large load may have many balls, or use needles instead. This decreases the chances of brinelling, but increases friction and other factors.

  7. False brinelling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_brinelling

    False brinelling of a bearing. False brinelling is a bearing damage caused by fretting, with or without corrosion, [1] that causes imprints that look similar to brinelling, but are caused by a different mechanism. False brinelling may occur in bearings which act under small oscillations [2] or vibrations. [3]

  8. Main bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_bearing

    The lower half of the main bearings are typically held in place by 'bearing caps' which are secured to the engine block using bolts. The basic arrangement is for each bearing cap to have two bolts, but some engines may have four or six bolts per bearing cap (often referred to as "four-bolt mains" or "six-bolt mains" engines).

  9. Bearing pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_pressure

    Bearing pressure is a particular case of contact mechanics often occurring in cases where a convex surface (male cylinder or sphere) contacts a concave surface (female cylinder or sphere: bore or hemispherical cup). Excessive contact pressure can lead to a typical bearing failure such as a plastic deformation similar to peening.
