A short-block is comprised of major components such as the cylinder block, the crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons. These are just the big components you can’t fit down your pants.

Rods are among an engine's most highly stressed partsࢤhere's why By Jim McFarland (Photography: Jim McFarland) A connecting rod is the mechanical link between t ...

The piston is basically a round thing on a stick (called a connecting rod) that travels in a close-fitting, round cylinder.

The three- and four-cylinder VC-Turbo engines may have faulty engine bearings, so Nissan is recalling 440,000 of them.

The company has only developed the rods as drop-in replacements for 5.3- and 6.2-liter LS V8 engines from General Motors thus far. In its own testing, Transcend says it was able to tune the 5.3 to ...

This one is a single-cylinder that fires like a conventional engine in that the combustion explosion pushes down on a piston. But then it gets unique. Instead of a single connecting rod, it has ...

Ferrari has filed a patent for an engine with pill-shaped pistons, a radical departure from traditional circular piston designs.While Honda famously experimented with oval pistons in the late ...

In the initial prototypes, the cylinders also acted as connecting rods, tilting back and forth as the crankshaft rotates. ... 16 thoughts on “ Exploring Piston Engine Design With LEGO ” ...

All 4 Piston Racing Stroker Kits include connecting rods and pistons at a minimum. The K20 and S2000 F20/F22C Stroker Kits are designed to use a K24 crankshaft with a 99mm (3.897-inch) stroke.

This means the piston travels in a purely vertical motion, without any forces pushing it towards the cylinder wall. The two-piece rod has numerous benefits over a standard connecting rod ...

The piston is basically a round thing on a stick (called a connecting rod) that travels in a close-fitting, round cylinder. When the piston moves all the way up in the cylinder (which mechanics ...
