engines
The engine of a car is the engine that drives a car.
This section describes the design, maintenance, and repair of engines.
Some engines and their features are described directly in the sections that describe this vehicle.
The table presents the tightening conditions for various bolts and nuts in the engine and other vehicle systems.
To ensure the reliability and durability of the joints, it is important to observe the specified tightening parameters.
The engine cylinder block is cast from cast iron.
The casting is subjected to artificial ageing to relieve thermal stresses, which allows the block to maintain correct geometric shapes and dimensions during operation.
The crankshaft (Figure 1) is made of high-quality steel and has five main journals and four connecting rod journals, connected by webs and mated by transition fillets.
The valve timing mechanism serves to ensure the intake of a fresh air charge into the cylinders and the exhaust of the burnt gases from them.
The gas turbine boost and charge air cooling system, by utilising part of the energy of the exhaust gases, ensures the supply of pre-compressed and cooled air to the engine cylinders.
