    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_big-block_engine

    The firing order of older big-block engines is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 [62] while Vortec 8100's firing order is 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3. Other upgrades of Vortec 8100 include a new 18-bolt head bolt pattern, longer connecting rods, different symmetrical intake ports, different oil pan rails, and the use of metric threads throughout the engine.

    This was Chevrolet's second 4.3L power plant; four other Chevrolet engines displaced 4.3L: the Vortec 4300 (a V6 based on the Chevrolet 350 cu in (5.7 L), with two cylinders removed), the original 265 cu in (4.3 L) V8 in 1954, a bored version of the stovebolt-era 235 inline six displacing 261 cu in (4.3 L), and a derivative of the Generation II ...

  4. Pilot fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_fatigue

    The scale ranged from 1 meaning no fatigue to 7 being high. Participants had one month and a half to respond to the inquiry. Results on physical fatigue found that 93% of short/medium haul pilots scored higher than 4 on the FSS while 84% of long-haul pilots scored greater than 4. Mental fatigue found short/medium haul at 96% and long haul at 92%.

  5. Straight-five engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-five_engine

    Animation of the 1-2-4-5-3 firing order MAN B&W 5S50MC 1,865 litre marine diesel engine. Straight-five engines are typically shorter than straight-six engines, making them easier to fit transversely in an engine bay. [1] They are also smoother than straight-four engines, [1] and are narrower than V engines [2] and flat engines.

  6. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    Straight-six engines typically use a firing order of 1-5-3-6-2-4. However, a firing order of 1-2-4-6-5-3 is common on medium-speed marine engines. V6 engines with an angle of 90 degrees between the cylinder banks have used a firing orders of R1-L2-R2-L3-L1-R3 or R1-L3-R3-L2-R2-L1. Several V6 engines with an angle of 60 degrees have used a ...

    The 477-cubic-inch (7.8 L) 477 was released late in the 1940 model year, replacing the 451. It was the largest in the GMC straight-6 line until it was replaced by the 503 in 1950. It shares the same 5 inches (130 mm) stroke as the 426 and 451, with a 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (110 mm) bore. It produced a maximum 154 hp @ 2600 rpm and 385 lb•ft ...

    Operating cycle for a four-stroke engine Operation of a flat-twin engine Operation of a straight-four engine. Although some components within the engine (such as the connecting rods) have complex motions, all motions can be separated into reciprocating and rotating components, which assists in the analysis of imbalances.
