The 350 cu in (5,735 cc) B engine was, along with the 361, the first production B engine, first available in 1958. It had a bore of 4 + 1 ⁄ 16 in (103 mm; 4.06 in). The 350 is classified as a big-block engine. All parts except for the pistons are fully compatible with the 361. Vehicles using the B 350: 1958 DeSoto Firesweep; 1958 Dodge Coronet
The 361-cubic-inch (5.9 L) 361 was released in 1939 alongside the 426 and 451. The 361 was discontinued in 1949 and replaced by the 360 "Group 2" engine. The 360 and 361 shared the exact same 4 + 1 ⁄ 8 inches (100 mm) bore and 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (110 mm) stroke, but the 361 used the larger "Group 3" block. It produced a maximum 136 hp @ 3000 ...
Insufficient lubrication subjects the parts of the engine to metal-to-metal contact, friction, heat build-up, rapid wear often culminating in parts becoming friction welded together e.g. pistons in their cylinders. Big end bearings seizing up will sometimes lead to a connecting rod breaking and poking out through the crankcase.
The graph above shows the intake runner pressure over 720 crank degrees of an engine with a 7-inch (180 mm) intake port/runner running at 4500 rpm, which is its torque peak (close to maximum cylinder filling and BMEP for this engine). The two pressure traces are taken from the valve end (blue) and the runner entrance (red).
In the case of "neutral" or shifting up too late, a rev limiter can easily keep engine RPM below the redline. If a manual transmission is shifted down too early, the speed of the vehicle will drive the engine over the redline. In this case, a rev limiter will cut engine power but it cannot prevent the engine's RPM from going beyond the redline.
Indeed, many gas turbine engine seals leak by design. [4] Labyrinth seals are also found on pistons, which use them to store oil and seal against high pressure during compression and power strokes, as well as on non-rotating shafts. In these applications, it is the long and difficult path and the formation of controlled fluid vortices plus some ...
Restored CCKW 353 Cargo truck with open cab, machine gun ring, and front-mounted winch. The GMC CCKW, also known as "Jimmy", or the G-508 by its Ordnance Supply Catalog number, [a] was a highly successful series of off-road capable, 2 1 ⁄ 2-ton, 6×6 trucks, built in large numbers to a standardized design (from 1941 to 1945) for the U.S. Army, that saw heavy service, predominantly as cargo ...
Diagramatic operation of a thermal wheel Ljungström Air Preheater by Swedish engineer Fredrik Ljungström (1875–1964). A thermal wheel, also known as a rotary heat exchanger, or rotary air-to-air enthalpy wheel, energy recovery wheel, or heat recovery wheel, is a type of energy recovery heat exchanger positioned within the supply and exhaust air streams of air-handling units or rooftop ...
