	Howstuffworks "How Car Engines Work"
		The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move.
		Diesel engines are one form and gas turbine engines are another.
		A car engine is one of the most amazing machines we use on a daily basis.

	Musclecarclub.com - Muscle Car Engines
		In a nod to the performance market that was driving muscle car sales, Buick quietly introduced a rare dealer installed option in 1968 which treated the 400 cid engine with a hotter cam, 11.0:1 compression, stronger valve springs and a reworked transmission.
		This level of engine ratings were unheard of in an era when other manufacturer's engines' output were falling dramatically, and the Firebird became the only true performance car remaining in the market.
		The primary difference between this engine and the 413 Max Wedge, of course, was the larger bore of 4.25 inches, resulting in 426 ci.

	Howstuffworks "How Car Engines Work"
		Most cars that "burn oil" and have to have a quart added every 1,000 miles are burning it because the engine is old and the rings no longer seal things properly.
		In a few cars (most notably Volkswagen Beetles), as well as most motorcycles and lawn mowers, the engine is air-cooled instead (You can tell an air-cooled engine by the fins adorning the outside of each cylinder to help dissipate heat.).
		The alternator is connected to the engine by a belt and generates electricity to recharge the battery.

	Newton's Apple Season 15: Car Engines
		Unlike most steam engines that preceded them, internal combustion engines are small enough to fit in personal vehicles, such as cars.
		For a car to move, the wheels have to turn in a rotary motion.
		Internal combustion engines are powered by pistons which move in a back-and-forth or linear motion.

	Motor Car - MSN Encarta
		Motor Car, any self-propelled vehicle with more than two wheels and a passenger compartment, capable of being steered by the operator for use on roads.
		The overwhelming majority of car engines still employ the four-stroke cycle (four piston strokes per cycle), invented by Nicholas Otto in 1876.
		The engine’s cylinder block is invariably made of cast iron on to which is bolted an aluminium cylinder head.

	Green Car Congress: Engines
		This new engine, which is applied in the upcoming new MINI One (earlier post) is directly derived from the existing 1.6 liter engine already applied in the MINI Cooper and Cooper S as well as on the Peugeot 207.
		The concept’s engine is mated to a six-speed transmission.
		Free-piston engines (engines without a crank) are under consideration by a number of developers as a potential high-efficiency engine for use in hybrids.

	Car Engines - Basic Guide on Engine Functions and Maintainance
		The engine is the heart and soul of your car, but instead of pumping plasma blood around veins, the engine pushes petrol and airl.
		The main focus of the engine is to transform the air and petrol into rotary motion so it can drive the wheels of the car.
		When an engine is an "interference engine" the pistons and valves are so close together that if the valves were to stop moving (broken belt or chain) and the crankshaft kept spinning they would crash into the piston.

		Under normal use, all glow engines must be able to handle the stress of high operating temperatures.
		Engine styles also differ in the design and color of their cylinder heads.
		The cylinder head is the portion of the engine with “fins” that increase surface area, enabling more air to pass over the engine and carry away heat.

	How Car Engines Work
		Most cars that "burn oil" and have to have a quart added every 1,000 miles are burning it because the engine is old and the rings no longer seal things properly.
		In most cars, oil is sucked out of the oil pan by the oil pump, run through the oil filter to remove any grit, and then squirted under high pressure onto bearings and the cylinder walls.
		The alternator is connected to the engine by a belt and generates electricity to recharge the battery.

	Carbs VS Fuel Injection - Modern Tech - Tech Articles - Stock Car Racing Magazine
		Car owner Robert Yates believes fuel-injected engines would be less costly for race teams.
		Sitting on top of the engine is an object that can't be found on today's modern passenger car engines: a carburetor.
		Team owner and master engine builder Robert Yates would like NASCAR to be the next sanctioning body to put the carburetor in a museum, along with manual chokes, running boards, and jumper seats.

	Frequently Asked Questions About Model Car Engines by RcTek (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It is quite easy to modify an engine and get 5 or 6 horsepower, but it is also very easy to have an unusable engine because there is no power low down in the revs.
		An engine that produces a spread of power across the entire usable rev range (6,000 to 20,000 or more) will be quicker on the track with 4 to 4.5 bhp, than an engine with 5 to 6 bhp which only produces the power high up in the rev range.
		If an engine has been modified and is significantly worse on fuel consumption than it was before, the alterations that have been made are not working efficiently and are wasting fuel.

	Pontiac 455 Buildup- Car Craft Magazine
		So, after seeing how well-preserved the engine's internals were, we got to thinking that prior to actually rebuilding it, it might make a suitable test mule to show the effects of bolt-on upgrades to a stock, used engine that was still in good health.
		Our engine came from a '76 Grand Prix, placing it among the last 455s produced, as 1976 was to be the swan song for the biggest Pontiac.
		Our plan was to run the 455 on an engine dyno in bone-stock form--junk heads, stock cam, restricted iron intake, even the stock iron "log"-style exhaust manifolds, and then upgrade it step-by-step, retesting at every interval along the way.

	Hybrid Car Engines
		And car engineers have wizened up to the fact that most of the time, you don't need a lot of horsepower to keep your car moving.
		Even so, the gas engine in a gas-powered car has to be large enough to meet the power requirements of flooring it.
		And a smaller engine means the components require less energy to operate, and since it isn't as heavy, you don't need extra energy when you accelerate or drive up a hill.

	Howstuffworks "How Hybrid Cars Work"
		Or maybe you're worried that your car is contributing to the greenhouse effect.
		For example, a mo-ped (a motorized pedal bike) is a type of hybrid because it combines the power of a gasoline engine with the pedal power of its rider.
		Most hybrid cars on the road right now are gasoline-electric hybrids, although French car maker PSA Peugeot Citroen has two diesel-electric hybrid cars in the works.

		His bright blue eyes are permanently bloodshot from 25 years of hovering over dragster and Funny Car engines that burn nitromethane and spew corrosive fumes.
		His drag-racing engines were so powerful and so durable that racers started calling him the Old Master long before he had gray hair.
		When Ford lost interest in 1969 in its Top Fuel SOHC engine, and its racing program in general, Pink concentrated on the supercharged nitro 426 Hemi engine and became one of the busiest engine builders in the business, along with south-L.A. rival Keith Black.
