A crankcase ventilation system (CVS) removes unwanted gases from the crankcase of an internal combustion engine. The system usually consists of a tube, a one-way valve and a vacuum source (such as the inlet manifold). The unwanted gases, called "blow-by", are gases from the combustion chamber which have leaked past the piston rings. Early ...
A crankcase is the housing in a piston engine that surrounds the crankshaft. In most modern engines, the crankcase is integrated into the engine block. Two-stroke engines typically use a crankcase-compression design, resulting in the fuel/air mixture passing through the crankcase before entering the cylinder(s). This design of the engine does ...
The cylinder heads are integrated into the engine block, but the crankcase is separate. [2] Typical 1930-1960 flathead engine with integrated crankcase. The cylinder head is tipped upwards for illustrative purposes. An engine where all the cylinders share a common block is called a monobloc engine. Most modern engines use a monobloc design, and ...
Where the connecting rods are at different locations along the crankshaft (which is the case unless fork-and-blade connecting rods are used), this offset creates a rocking couple within the engine. V4 engines come in many different configurations in terms of the 'V' angle and crankshaft configurations.
The lower half of the main bearings are typically held in place by 'bearing caps' which are secured to the engine block using bolts. The basic arrangement is for each bearing cap to have two bolts, but some engines may have four or six bolts per bearing cap (often referred to as "four-bolt mains" or "six-bolt mains" engines).
it also needs mention of PCV replacement - practiced by most, if not all, performance engine tuners - whereby the PCV system is substituted with an oil catch can and usually a breather filter venting crankcase gases to atmosphere instead of recirculating via the intake. - AL LOCKE | talk 06:07, 11 September 2008 (UTC) Quite right.
A dorade box (also called a dorade vent, collector box, cowl vent, or simply a "ventilator") is a type of vent that permits the passage of air in and out of the cabin or engine room of a boat while keeping rain, spray, and sea wash out.
