The distance a piston travels within the cylinder bore, from the very top to the very bottom. This limit is the stroke.
a cylinder has two faces on the top and bottom.
Compression ratio is exclusive to each cylinder, though they will all have the same result if they are the same dimensionally ( and they always are) > Divide the total engine capacity by the number of cylinders, this gives the capacity or swept volume of each cylinder (bore * stroke) > So in a 2.0 (2000 cc) litre 4 cylinder engine, each cylinder has a 2000 / 4 = 500 cc swept volume (bore * stroke) > The combustion chamber is the volume remaining at top dead centre (TDC) > Compression ratio = volume at BDC (swept volume + volume at TDC) / volume at TDC
A cylinder has two edges one at the top and one at the bottom.
Draw a rectangle for the side of the cylinder and on top and bottom of this rectangle 2 circles for the base and the top of the cylinder The rectangle width would be the diameter of the circle large and the same height that the cylinder
most cylinder wear occurs at the top fo the ring travel. Pressure on the top ring is at a peak and lubrication at a minimum when the piston is at the top of its stroke
Bore and stroke are typically given in millimeters in the metric system. Bore refers to the diameter of the cylinder, while stroke refers to the distance the piston moves from top dead center to bottom dead center in the cylinder.
can i make a raptor 50cc any faster. can you bore cylinder out and get more power out of it
Depending on the amount of wear in the cylinder, there may be a ridge at the top of it. If there is much of a ridge, the rings in the piston will catch on this and possible damage the piston. The ridge can be removed with a ridge reamer.
rebuild top end (NEW RINGS, MAYBE PISTON, AND HONE OR BORE CYLINDER)
The distance a piston travels within the cylinder bore, from the very top to the very bottom. This limit is the stroke.
The greatest amount of wear on cylinder walls usually occurs at the very top of the cylinder, near the combustion chamber. This area is exposed to the highest temperatures and pressures during the engine's operation, leading to increased wear.
Before carrying out top overhaul please check following points. 1] Check cylinder bore for wear,taper and ovality.If dimensions are within specified limit as informed by manufacture you can replace piston ring set only. 2] Recondition cylinder head assy after replacing valve set, guide set and valve seats. 3] Overhaul fip and injectors. This complete procedure is called as top overhauling. Bhalchandra.
When #1 piston is at its upper most position in the cylinder bore and both intake and exhaust valves are closed
No, the head gasket bore size refers to the diameter of the bore and should be larger than the cylinder bore. If the engine cylinder has been chamfered at the top of the block, to make it easier to start ring assembly, the the gasket bore size should be at least that diameter. As an example, on a chevy small block with a stock 4 inch bore, the next gasket size is typically 4.030". Engines that have been bored out up to 4.040" will use a gasket size of 4.060". If you use a gasket smaller than the bore size, the gasket will fail as it can create hot spots that will cause pre-ignition. If the gasket bore size is too large it will create a cavity area that prevent a clean burn in the combustion chamber thus creating dirty emissions.
If you have to ream the ridge to get the old pistons out, you probably need to bore the cylinders and install oversize pistons. This assumes it was taken apart in the first place because of low cylinder pressure or excessive oil consumption (ie: worn rings). If there's not enough ridge to prevent you from pushing the pistons out of the bores, you can probably hone it out and re-ring the old pistons. If there is a ridge at the top of the cylinder, you need to bore it. The general consensus is that a rebuilt engine will wear out rapidly if there is any amount of taper. If you can catch a fingernail on the ridge, it's too much The upside is, if you bore it, put in new pistons and polish or turn the crank and replace the oil pump, you effectively have a new lower end and it should last 200,000 miles if properly maintained.
you take the volume of each cylinder and add them together. the volume is calculated using the bore (width of cylinder) and the stroke (the height of where the piston reached the top [crank angle of 0 degrees] to the bottom [crank angle of 180 degrees]) volume = pi (3.14159) x radius (1/2 bore) squared x height (stroke of the cylinder) that will give you cubic inches per cylinder. Then just multiply by the number of cylinders in the engine.
