  2. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    A second function of the PCV valve is to act as a flame arrester and to prevent positive pressure from the intake system from entering the crankcase. This can happen on turbocharged engines or when a backfire takes place, and the positive pressure could damage the crankcase seals and gaskets, or even cause a crankcase explosion. The PCV valve ...

  3. Oil catch tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_Catch_Tank

    An oil catch can is fitted in line of the crank case breather system. It is placed in between the breather outlet and the intake system. As the crank vapors pass through the catch can the oil droplets, un-burnt fuel, and water vapor condense and settle in the tank. This stops them from reaching the intake and causing the issues mentioned above.

  4. Crankcase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase

    A crankcase is the housing in a piston engine that surrounds the crankshaft. In most modern engines, the crankcase is integrated into the engine block. Two-stroke engines typically use a crankcase-compression design, resulting in the fuel/air mixture passing through the crankcase before entering the cylinder(s). This design of the engine does ...

    I have also briefly touched on the scavenging effect and how ideally a PCV system would keep the crankcase under slight negative pressure. In addition to this, I have uploaded a clearer picture depicting a PCV valve as well as a picture depicting the PCV system as a whole in a 95 Miata for visual aid and flair.

  6. MAP sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_sensor

    Thus, a MAP sensor will always read 100 kPa more than a boost sensor measuring the same conditions. A MAP sensor will never display a negative reading because it is measuring absolute pressure, where zero is the total absence of pressure. Vacuum is measured as a negative pressure relative to normal atmospheric pressure. Vacuum-Boost sensors can ...

  8. Flat-twin engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat-twin_engine

    Boxer crankshaft configuration. Most flat-twin engines use a boxer configuration for the crankshaft and are therefore called "boxer-twin" engines. In a boxer-twin engine, the 180° crankshaft moves the pistons in phase with each other, therefore the forces generated by one piston are cancelled out by the other, resulting in excellent primary balance.
