Abstract: Minimal advance for best torque (MBT) timing for an internal combustion (IC) spark ignition (SI) engine is the minimum advance of spark timing for the best torque or, in other words, for the ...

Do you know what a timing belt or a timing chain is and what they do? Could you find them on your vehicle's engine if you had to? If you answered no, don't sweat it. Both are buried behind a lot ...

Dealing with an engine is one of the most complex tasks anyone can perform in a vehicle. Sometimes, removing any component is just a step to do something, such as removing the timing chain.

Unfortunately, that was the beginning of a miserable ordeal that finally ended with me discovering that the Saturn's timing chain had broken and the engine was mulched. When a timing belt or chain ...

After nearly five years of development and a $1.5 billion investment, the Detroit Diesel DD15 heavy-duty engine has been unveiled at the Detroit Diesel plant. This 14.8L, inline 6-cylinder engine is ...

It practically goes without saying — big trucks require powerful engines, and that's exactly what the Detroit DD15 engine promises to deliver. The engine was introduced back in 2007 after a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of residual gas, effective release energy and engine emissions of small engine with variable ignition timing at full load. The study was conducted by simulating ...

Cars require maintenance to keep their complicated systems operating at the highest possible level. One system many people don’t understand involves engine timing. Engine timing ensures proper ...
