However, cars registered before this date are taxed based on engine displacement. Cars under 1549 cm 3 qualify for a lower tax rate. [3] In Japan, the engine displacement is one of the factors (along with overall vehicle size and power output) used to determine the vehicle size class and therefore the cost of road tax for the vehicle.
It allows a V6 or V8 engine to "turn off" half of the cylinders under light-load conditions to improve fuel economy. Estimated performance on EPA tests shows a 5.5–7.5% improvement in fuel economy. [1] GM's Active Fuel Management [2] technology used a solenoid to deactivate the lifters on selected cylinders of a pushrod V-layout engine.
The six cylinder Zephyr engine was used widely. Displacement was 2,262 cc (138.0 cu in) in early versions that had the same bore and stroke as the 1.5-litre 4 cylinder. It was produced with two available compression ratios: 6.8:1 in the Zephyr, with an output of 68 bhp (51 kW), and 7.5:1 in the top-of-range Zodiac, with an output of 71 bhp (53 kW).
With a 9.5:1 compression ratio and DOHC, four-valve-per-cylinder head and multi-point EFI, this engine produces 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 135 N⋅m (100 lb⋅ft) at 5,000 rpm. [1] The 4G91 was a short-lived model, mainly built between 1991 and 1995 and rarely seen in export markets.
Siamesed cylinders are engine cylinders arranged in such a way that they have no channels between them to allow water or other coolant to circulate. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Cylinders are generally arranged in this manner when the engine block is of limited size or when stability of the cylinder bores is of concern, such as in racing engines. [ 3 ]
Connection specifications will be listed in cylinder catalogs as a list of abbreviations and numbers, such as that for O 2, CGA-540 0.903-14NGO-RH-Ext. This means that the Compressed Gas Association has classified this connection as number 540, the thread bore is 0.903 inches, with 14 threads per inch. The connection is right-handed (RH) and ...

The storage cylinders may be used independently in sequence using a portable transfer whip with a pressure gauge and manual bleed valve, to transfill the receiving cylinder until the appropriate fill pressure has been reached, or the storage cylinders may be connected to a manifold system and a filling control panel with one or more filling whips.
