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 ...

SIMPLICITY is the keynote of the only two types of sleeve-valve engines that have stood the test of time, namely, the double-sleeve, or Knight, engine and the single-sleeve, or Burt-McCollum, engine, ...

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 ...

The internal combustion engine, despite being a century-and-a-half old, is still an impressive marvel of engineering. There are several variations of engine design that have been experimented with ...

This is a category that is pretty rapidly going away. You'll be hard-pressed to find an overhead valve — also known as a pushrod — engine in anything outside of a General Motors LS/LT V8 or one of ...

Give them the results of a TDC valve-drop static clearance test, and Comp Cam's techs can calculate the piston-to-valve clearance for any of its cams at any degree of rotation. This is especially ...

In this fascinating video, we journey through the intricate process of building a rotary valve engine from scratch. Watch as we delve into the mechanics and craftsmanship involved, showcasing each ...

A car engine is a piece of heavy machinery, and it isn’t surprising for it to make all kinds of sounds. The rotating shafts, the moving pistons and valves, the combustion process, and other engine ...

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 ...

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 ...
