The Liberty L-12 was 27 litre water-cooled 45 degree V-12 aircraft engine of 400 horsepower (300 kW).
Diesel engines are common in Europe because they offer higher gas mileage and greater longevity; in a continent where people tend to keep their cars longer, and where fuel is more expensive, these factors offset the higher initial price.
The Liberty seemed to be very good at conserving its warmth; it took almost no time to reach normal operating temperature, including roasting heat from the vents, after it had been left in freezing cold for three hours.

 Jeep Liberty and Liberty Sport car reviews
The gas engines are so well insulated that it sometimes seems to be in the rear, since that's where you hear the exhaust (the Sport has a more prominent exhaust note, tuned to give a sense of power).
The engine always started, but it was very noisy for a few minutes, making a pronounced diesel noise complete with clanking, gradually quieting down over time; and power was very low for the first minute or two.
The Liberty is sold as the Cherokee outside of the United States, where the old Cherokee was never considered as a viable addition.

 2002 Jeep Liberty Performance, Engine, Suspension Specs - Motor Trend
The new Jeep Liberty (internally dubbed the KJ platform) is intended to expand its reach to SUV buyers who place a higher value on on-road manners than off-road ability.
There are two engine choices: a standard 2.4L DOHC four and a new 3.7L SOHC V-6 derived from the Grand Cherokee's 4.7L V-8.
Liberty's front and rear suspensions are relatively sophisticated, however.

 2001 Mini SUV Comparison Test   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The Liberty's cabin has a sculpted, modern look and a spherical motif — gauges, door pulls, vents and dials are all round.
The Liberty's exterior design evolved from the Dakar and Jeepster concept vehicles (1997 and 1998, respectively) and features design themes from each, such as a large greenhouse, short front and rear overhangs, high roofline, rear-mounted spare tire and 16-inch alloy wheels whirring beneath pronounced wheel flares.
Pushing the Liberty through some of the more rutted and rocky sections of our driving loop, I realized that the Jeep must appeal to those who enjoy treading terrain on which their precious little feet can't carry them.

 Steve Parker, Car Nut Road Test: 2002 Jeep Liberty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Jeep engineers will tell you they could have designed a one-button 4x4 system, but the mechanical lever is more reliable and more likely to get you back from where it was off-road you wanted to go.
Liberty can also be ordered with rear wheel drive only (but why get a Jeep if that's all you need?) or Command-Trac, Jeep's drive wheel system which allows 4 wheel drive use only on wet or slippery surfaces.
In fact, Liberty at all times was refreshingly free of squeaks and rattles, no doubt a product of the all-new factory where the truck is built, where workers assemble Liberty with newer machines, allowing much better tolerances between parts.

 Early Aircraft Engines
Because this engine was heavy for the amount of horsepower it produced, it was replaced during World War I by the Liberty engine.
The most advanced aircraft engine early in the century was the 50-horsepower (37-kilowatt) engine designed by Charles Manley for use on Samuel Langley's aerodromes.
The engine designed and built by Charlie Taylor and the Wright brothers for their Flyer, although much lower powered, had a greater place in history because it propelled the first successful powered flight in 1903.

 National Park Service: World War II Warships in the Pacific
The standard liberty ship, including the SS Jeremiah O'Brien, was 441 feet and 6 inches in length, with a bean of 56 feet, gross tonnage about 7,176, and displacement tonnage 14,300.
Their construction was a significant accomplishment in engineering design for mass production, and the ships were built to a high standard of performance for the time and under the conditions of wartime emergency.
Some liberty ships were operated by the U.S. Navy and used to supply landings such as the Invasion of Normandy where some of these ships were deliberately scuttled to form breakwaters called "gooseberries," while others supplied the troops on the beaches.

From the outside, only the Liberty’s front grille and round headlights smack of Jeep; the rest of the vehicle has a soft, rounded edge that gives it an upscale, sophisticated look.
The Liberty comes standard with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, but if you are going to be doing any serious off-roading, and the Liberty has the hardware to do so, you may want to opt for the more powerful 3.7-liter V6 that produces 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque.
On smooth pavement, the Liberty returns a fairly comfortable ride due to an outstanding suspension that was engineered to deal with the great outdoors as well as the wide-open highway.

 Wallet Watchers: Diesel Jeep rates highly as affordable, smaller SUV   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The turbo diesel engine, which is an enhanced version of a four-cylinder diesel engine currently offered on the Liberty in Europe, puts out 160 horsepower and 295 pound feet of torque, a prodigious amount of torque for the Liberty's size.
The Liberty is a rugged, small- to midsize SUV that enjoys a good reputation among off-roaders and consumers alike.
When the Liberty was first introduced several years ago, I liked it but found that its ride and handling characteristics were a bit skittish.

  2006 Jeep Liberty Diesel
The Jeep Liberty Diesel is a small midsize SUV that is available in both gas and diesel engines, and both versions have a maximum towing capacity 5,000 pounds.
The diesel engine in the Liberty is a modern, high-pressure direct rail fuel injected engine that is a far cry from diesel engines in the past.
The 32 percent improvement in fuel use over a gasoline engine is somewhat offset by the current higher price of diesel fuel over regular gasoline.But the increase in torque, and known durability of diesel engines are huge pluses that add value and performance to a vehicle that can tow a boat and trailer.

 Test Drive Notes: 2002 Jeep Liberty
The 2002 model Liberty is Jeep's new, smaller sport utility vehicle and is being introduced as the eventual replacement for the old barbaric Cherokee.
The Liberty is actually built for off-road travel, which is, after all, what people expect from Jeep.
We'd recommend staying away from the 2.4-liter engine, however, which is a little small for a vehicle this heavy (between 3,500 to 4,000 pounds, depending on configuration).

 [No title]
Experience of marine engine building and conversion of the Liberty engine to designs from the Army and Navy had given Allison a background for it to be awarded a Navy contract for a two-stroke diesel airship engine, trials of which were successful although the engine was not subsequently used.
Ultimately, the airship engine supply position was not to materialise as the Macon was lost on the 12th February 1935, and with it went the Navy's airship programme.
A new engineer, R.M. Hazen was then put in charge of the engine development, and the output began to rise, with over 140 hours of the type test passed at 1000hp in the sedcond half of 1936, and the V1710-C8 passed its full type test at 1000hp @ 2600rpm in March 1937.

 CanadianDriver: Liberty Aircraft Engine
When a V-type engine was decided upon, it was natural to turn to the Packard Motor Car Co., which had introduced the "Twin-Six" V-12 in 1915, the world's first series-production 12-cylinder car.
Eight- and 12-cylinder engines were planned, both with a bore and stroke of 127 by 178 mm (5.0 by 7.0 in.).
The Liberty, born in the First World War, and dying in the second, was a leading aircraft engine of its era, and a fine tribute to the automobile industry.

 2002 Jeep Liberty Limited Car Reviews - The Car Connection
(A Liberty Sport model comes standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder, making 150 hp and 165 ft-lb.) Body-on-frame architecture remains, since this is the only practicable option for rugged off-road use; but Liberty's refinement is the uniframe which marries a safe, unitized cabin to a rigid alloy steel frame.
Just the same, Liberty's new rack-and-pinion steering is another first in a Jeep, and it suggests just how important it has become for once-rugged trucks for the backwoods to behave like nicely refined cars for the suburbs.
Liberty's interior is, nevertheless, an oasis of calm.

 Economic Efficiency | The Foundation for Economic Education: The Freeman, Ideas on Liberty
For example, they sometimes argue that the internal-combustion engine is inefficient because only a small percentage of the energy in the gasoline is converted into motion.
For example, engine producers increase profits by improving the technical efficiency of engines until the marginal revenue from the improvement declines to the marginal cost.
In the engine example, using additional gas in technically inefficient engines frees resources to create more value than the gas is worth.

The engines decided upon were 2500 H.P triple expansion steam engines, originally designed by North East Marine Engineering Ltd. When the building programme got under way, ships were launched with an average building time of two months from keel laying to sea trials.
The widespread and rapid construction of these engines was dramatic, but the basic design and subsequent quality control in building the engines emerges as the most outstanding part of the whole program.
The turning engine is a single cylinder steam driven engine, mounted on the after end of the bedplate.

Compare this to a sports-model VX Commodore's all-alloy engine and there would be about 3,700 extra cubic centimetres of displacement in the latter vehicle.
From the outside, the Liberty B4 doesn't look too racy, but the subtle bonnet scoop is a dead give away as to the car's turbocharged nature.
The Subaru Liberty B4 is one of the most impressive cars we've ever profiled and, coupled with all-wheel drive, dual-stage twin-turbos and a host of other delectable features, it's very hard to find fault.

Except for a few experimental engines, all were water-cooled types, and these were not built in large quantities until 1914 when the UK Government ordered severeal hundred of the 90hp OX engine.
The further development of this engine was held up by the decision of the US Govt in having only one standardised 400hp engine for its aircraft, the preferred type being the Liberty.
This engine met with some considerable success, taking the world speed record in 1922 and going on to decome what was one of the best high-power aero engines at the time.
