It has an aluminum
cylinder block and develops a maximum torque of 140 lb.ft.
--small dimensions of the device transmitting the measuring signals from the
cylinder block to the stationary part of the system.
Both new MIVEC engines employ weight-reducing technologies such as the aluminum
cylinder block to achieve a more than 10 percent weight reduction, which contributes to improved fuel economy and driving performance.
POWERING AHEAD: An all-aluminium
cylinder block reduces weight and increases power on the updated 730d - but the price is pounds 1, 550 higher
The motor is connected to the shaft of the drive machine through the hollow shaft of the
cylinder block. The torque is transmitted by using a mechanical shrink disc/ shaft coupling, or alternately by splines.
Meanwhile, Imaki says it may be possible to introduce a common
cylinder block for gasoline and diesel engines within five years.
Using everyday products such as paper, toothpicks, and tape, students construct a structure that will support the weight of a
cylinder block for 30 seconds.
The new EcoBoost V6 features the first use of a compacted graphite iron (CGI)
cylinder block in a North American gasoline engine, the same material used in Ford's 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbo-diesel V8 engine.
