For example, a multi-cylinder engine, when not running, will always have one or two valves open.

On multi-cylinder engines the other stud should be pulled out immediately after.

The technology is primarily used in large, multi-cylinder engines.

To create even combustion throughout the multiple hot bulbs in multi-cylinder engines is difficult.

This is primarily a factor in multi-cylinder engines.

In a multi-cylinder engine, a crankpin can serve one or many cylinders, for example:

In a multi-cylinder engine, pistons may reach top dead centre simultaneously or at different times depending on the engine configuration.

Mathis founded his own car company in 1910 and the following year was a protagonist of the small, multi-cylinder engine, probably inspired by Bugatti.

The H configuration allows the building of multi-cylinder engines that are shorter than the alternatives, sometimes delivering advantages on aircraft.

A regular firing multi-cylinder engine fires at approximately even intervals, giving a smooth-running engine.

What the HBA4 lacked in power to the multi-cylinder engines was generally made up by being smaller and lighter than its main competitors.

The single-cylinder engine will almost inevitably develop a lower power-to-weight ratio than a multi-cylinder engine of similar technology.

This was during the so-called "cylinders race" of the early 1930s, when makers of some expensive cars were rushing to produce multi-cylinder engines.

Indeed at some races the Ford powered Benetton's were as fast in a straight line as the more powerful multi-cylinder engines.

The low tension coil system was also used for multi-cylinder engines, although rarely, as it required a separate coil for each cylinder.

Although most of the course will be spent on two and four cylinder engines -- the knowledge and skills can be transferred into multi-cylinder engines.

Twin- or multi-cylinder engines may improve low-speed scavenging to one cylinder by shutting down the other cylinder at low speeds.

Amount of torque - Normally, the amount of torque generated by each cylinder is supposed to be uniform within a multi-cylinder engine.

Inline pumps still find favour on large multi-cylinder engines such as those on trucks, construction plant, static engines and agricultural vehicles.

Single-cylinder engines require more flywheel than multi-cylinder engines, and the rotating mass is relatively large, restricting acceleration and sharp changes of speed.

Such engines can be started and run without a starter motor for certain multi-cylinder engines equipped with precision timed electronic ignition and fuel injection.

Very large multi-cylinder engines, such as those used in a ship or in aviation, may have one rocker cover for each cylinder, to make removal and installation more manageable.

It should be noted that as long ago as 1977, a NASA report indicated large emission reductions when hydrogen was mixed with gasoline before injection into a multi-cylinder engine.

If only one cylinder of a multi-cylinder engine has a restrictive exhaust port, this condition results in increased resistance every 720 degrees on crank rotation on a 4 cycle engine.

CASTROL OILS 351 SAE40 High performance monograde mineral oil recommended for single and multi-cylinder engines under competition conditions.
