  2. Pre-ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-ignition

    In the case of highly supercharged or high compression multi-cylinder engines, pre-ignition can quickly melt or burn pistons since the power generated by other still functioning pistons will force the overheated ones along no matter how early the mix pre-ignites. Many engines have suffered such failure where improper fuel delivery is present.

  3. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    For this inline-4 engine, 1-3-4-2 could be a valid firing order.. The firing order of an internal combustion engine is the sequence of ignition for the cylinders.. In a spark ignition (e.g. gasoline/petrol) engine, the firing order corresponds to the order in which the spark plugs are operated.

    An early example is the 3.3 L (200 cu in) and 3.8 L (229 cu in) Chevrolet 90° V6 engines, which have an 18° offset crankshaft resulting in an uneven firing interval. Newer examples, such as the Honda C engine , use 30° offset crank pins, resulting in an even firing interval.

  5. Pediatric Symptom Checklist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pediatric_Symptom_Checklist

    An overall score above the cutoff point, sometimes referred to as a positive score, indicates need for further assessment. The cutoff score for children older than 6 years old is 28. [4] For children younger than 6 years old, four items that pertain to school are excluded. As a result, the range of scores is lower and the cutoff score is ...

  6. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

    One type of automatic drain cock contains a rolling ball which allows water to pass, but blocks the flow of steam. [3] The ball occupies a horizontal cylinder slightly larger than the ball, allowing liquid water to flow past the ball. However, fast moving steam forces the ball to the end of the cylinder, where the ball blocks a discharge opening.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_153_4-cylinder...

    The 153 cu in engine had a 3 + 7 ⁄ 8-inch (98 mm) bore and 3 + 1 ⁄ 4-inch (82.6 mm) stroke, with two overhead valves per cylinder actuated by pushrods and a 1-3-4-2 firing order. The Chevy II 's 194 cu in six-cylinder used a 3 + 9 ⁄ 16 -inch (90.5 mm) bore, which by 1964 was enlarged to match the 153 four-cylinder's resulting in a ...

  8. Toyota S engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_S_engine

    While the block is iron, the cylinder head is made of aluminium alloy. The pent-roof combustion chambers are complemented by a cross-flow intake and exhaust layout. [11] The spark plug is located in the center of the combustion chamber. The firing order is 1-3-4-2, with cylinder number 1 adjacent to the timing belt. The 3S-GE was designed to be ...

  9. List of GM engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GM_engines

    GM's German subsidiary, Opel, relies on a range of three-, four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. A survey [citation needed] of their range shows a reliance on petrol and diesel four-cylinders, and in 2014, there was only one 3-cylinder engine and one 6 cylinder engine in service in Opel's passenger car range.
