Automotive Service Modern Auto Tech Study Guide Chapter 12 Pages 162 - 181 Engine Classifications & Variations 35 Points Automotive Service

1-12. List at least 12 common ways to classify engines by their variations in design:

Year Cooling System Make (Manufacturer of the engine) Location of Engine in the Vehicle Horsepower or Watts Mounting: Transverse or Longitudinal Torque or Rotary # of Cylinders Cycle of Operation Arrangement Cylinder Numbering # of Spark or Compression Ignition Arrangement # of Camshafts Camshaft Location (OHV or OHC) Camshaft Drive: Gear, Chain, Belt Firing Order Displacement = Total Cylinder Volume Turbo or Super Charged or Neither Fuel Type: Diesel or Gas Fuel Delivery System (MPI or GDI) Atkinson Cycle or Miller Cycle Automotive Service Click this square for a 4 stroke cycle engine explanation Automotive Service 13. Name three engine cylinder arrangements:

In-Line, V-shape, Flat or “Boxer”, Slant Automotive Service 14. ______is the sequence in which the cylinders fire or ignite their air/fuel mix.

Pecking Order Firing Order Back Order Automotive Service Automotive Service 15. Engines can be either ______or ______cooled. ______cooling is the most common.

16. Spark ignition engines use a ______plug to ignite their air/fuel mixture. ______ignition engines use the intense heat of a 20:1 compression ratio to ignite the fuel. (these are diesel engines)

Glow Plug Freeze Plug

Compression Combustion Combination Automotive Service 17. Valve arrangements are either ___-head, ___-head, ___-head or ___-head. (remember the word LIFT) The I-head design, a.k.a. the valve-in-head or Over Head Valve (OHV) design is the most common in use.

L-head, I-head, F-head, T-head Automotive Service Automotive Service 18. Camshafts can be located in the or in the ______. (Over Head Camshaft = OHC)
