Modern internal combustion engines — including those that run on diesel fuel — require a lot of special parts and systems to prevent dumping excess emissions into the atmosphere. Not only are those ...

Time was when a valve job was done with some valve-grinding compound and a vacuum cup on a stick. But no more. Today's high performance engines require the same machining precision in the valves that ...

Camless engines are a fascinating and innovative aspect of automotive engineering. They offer a new approach to managing valve operations, which in turn could significantly alter the landscape of car ...

While the engineering community continues to explore the benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles—i.e., the environmental and renewable energy factors—the automotive market is still dependent on ...

Taking care of your vehicle is vital to ensure it stays in great condition. Your brakes could give you trouble someday, or your suspension could require tinkering, inevitably leading you to an auto ...

The choke valve in an engine's carburetor, whether it's a Holley carburetor or another brand, helps a cold engine start by restricting some of the airflow into it. When the engine is cold, the choke ...

I’m not sure if any engine built today will still be salvageable 100 years from now. Not to sound like a grump, but so much relies on computers that will surely be obsolete by then. And let’s not get ...

There is so much going on with internal combustion engines (ICEs) these days, it can give you a headache just reading about them. That's why we do the research for you and then cram it into bite-size ...

More than ever, we find our mailbag stuffed with questions regarding performance upgrades for the anemic '96-'98 4.6 Two-Valve engine. Ford helped close the gap between enthusiast expectations and ...

Two-Valve nation is stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to their cars. Of course, we're talking about 1996-2004 Mustang GTs. The cars are very affordable right now, but the engines are ...
