How I Discovered The Finest Fuel Saver On The Market

The DC/DC converter takes the voltage of your main (traction) battery pack and reduces it to 12V which keeps your 12V battery charged. An electric vehicle still needs an 12V battery to power all the lights, stereo, horn etc. Keeping this battery charged can be achieved other ways as well. Some EV builders use an alternator that runs off the electric motor and others use a separate 12V charger to charge this battery.

overhaul a care engine And they are practical. There's lots of room in a Kombi. Maybe it's not as good as a modern van because of the hump for the rear engine, but they still make a great camper or an 8 seater van with room for luggage or groceries. Ground clearance is good and the engine over the rear wheels gives good traction for a two wheel drive if you want to get off the beaten track a bit.

Blue smoke means it is time to go back to bed. Blue smoke is usually a sign of problems down in the important parts of the engine block. We are talking cylinder, piston or valve problems. The blue smoke comes from the excessive burning of oil and generally is a bad sign. The problem is you usually have to rebuild the entire engine. If you just try to do a bit, the new parts may create a better seal. This will add pressure to the engine compartment and CA ftb 540 blow out other worn parts that were not replaced.

rebuild a car engine A knocking engine is where the engine makes tapping or knocking sounds which are prevalent under loading conditions. This knocking comes from premature wear in usually the rod and crank interface. This occurs if the engine has been run low on oil at one time. If the engine was run low on oil at one time, this means the engine was overheated, and premature failures will occur in other areas, such as exhaust valves, rings and a potential thrown rod. A knock in the engine means a complete overhaul and rebuild. Which includes a rod, new rings, new valves (potentially) and a new piston (with a bored out cylinder, because the piston may be slapping the side of the cylinder making a knocking sound as well). At the very minimum a new rod.

There is one more flush that should be done on any vehicle, the transmission fluid. This particular flush is maybe one of the last ones that people would think of. Transmission fluid is the life blood of the transmission; it cleans cools and lubricates the moving parts of the transmission. Time breaks the fluid down and makes it less effective. Being informed on what a transmission flush entails and what is recommended could save your transmission completely. Also knowing the proper fluid to put in your vehicle is very important. Not all transmission fluids are created equal. Know what your vehicle needs and get it taken care of on a maintenance level instead of a repair level, this can save you over $1500.00.

When I was designing go-karts I grew tired of having to calculate the drive line systems, so I put together a computer program and had it calculate for me. I made it pretty fancy at one point where you could insert horsepower and get out how insanely fast the go kart would go. Or I could do time trials with my go kart and calculate how much power my go kart actually had. So bottom line is do some sort of drive train analysis, or calculation.

build a car engine Now put in the rebuilt or new carburetor in a reverse way in how it was taken out. Install the new carb, new gasket, attach the lines, a new air-filter housing and then the earlier one.

Two reasons, First your ex is not interested in your apology right now. And second, your apologizing for the wrong thing. Although an apology is important at some point, it's not your priority right now. Your priority right now is to find the real reason for the break up.
