  Oversquare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An oversquare engine is generally more reliable, wears less, and can be run at a higher speed; though with the aid of modern technology, the disadvantages of undersquare or longstroke engines have been overcome.
In oversquare engines power does not suffer, but low-speed torque does to some degree, since torque is relative to crank throw (distance from the crank center to the crankpin)—the leverage, essentially.
An oversquare engine cannot have as high a compression ratio as a similar engine with a much higher stroke ratio, and using the same octane fuel.

 Square engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The square engine is an engine configuration used on some 4-cylinder motorcycles like the Ariel Square Four.
Its easiest to think of a square-four engine as a pair of straight-twin (AKA parallel-twin) engines with their crankshafts mated together using gears to give a common output.
The engine is only referred to as "square" when four cylinders are utilised, otherwise the engine is a U engine.

 Engine Maintenance
ENGINE NUMBERS: The engine number is stamped on the top rear center of the block just forward of the joint with the GM400 transmission bellhousing, but it is typically hard to find because it is covered with grime.
Engines are often described by the relationship of bore to stroke.
Racing engines have evolved to having the bore larger than the stroke, or "over-square." The Jaguar V12 was designed to reestablish Jaguar's eminence as a world-beater in the racing community (and prior to the fuel crisis of the early 70's), hence the considerably over-square design.

 XJ-S V-12 Engine
Over-square engines tend to be heavy for their displacement; a larger engine of comparable size and weight can be constructed with a nearly square configuration.
The entire reason engine bearings have a soft, replaceable surface is because they must ride on this surface for a few seconds at startup, before oil is pumped to the bearings and before the bearings establish a film to ride on.
All engines tend to display a drop in oil pressure at idle; the pump moves less oil when the engine is turning slower, but the openings through which the oil flows are the same size no matter what the engine speed.

 Two-Cylinder Magazine
This “square” math talk is not to be confused with the “square” engine description discussed earlier.
Why “perfect?” Well, it could be one of those tales of engineering from days gone by, but there was a time that a four-inch bore was considered to be the ideal maximum for efficient combustion of a gasoline/air fuel mixture in a conventional, normally aspirated, carbureted, single-spark-plug, liquid-cooled, two-valve engine.
The all-fuel version of the 4 x 4 engine used in the “40” Series Tractors incorporated all of the changes made to the gasoline engine, except that a new cylinder head lowered the compression ratio to 4.7:1 in order to burn distillate, kerosene, and other heavy fuels without danger of detonation.

 Novak Conversions - General Engine Conversion Options
If too small an engine is used for the work to be done, it will operate at low vacuum for longer periods and use more gas than a larger engine that would not be working as hard.
Engine and vehicle management computers are now a major part of modern automotive systems, and therefore, a significant concern when doing a conversion.
These engines have been popular choices since the mid-sixties, and because they are so familiar, the information and parts required to swap them are more widely available.

 Squaring Off - Bore vs. Stroke
An engine with an equal bore and stroke, say 82 mm and 82 mm, is called "square" for some obscure reason.
An engine with a stroke larger than the bore is called "under square," and an engine with a bore bigger than the stroke is called "over square." Their relative values have been the subject of many a night's bench racing since the first Otto motor chuffed and puffed its way into existence.
Consider the Super Vee engine example: When VW switched from the air-cooled Super Vees to the water cooled Rabbit-based Super Vees, they went from an over square engine to a slightly under square engine, which was capable of higher revs and made more power more dependably.

These companies make some great engines, but you have to pick your battles when doing a swap and going with a well supported, well documented, easily acquired and broadly familiar powertrain is a key to success and satisfaction.
Upon starting the engine, the canister is purged of these fumes through engine vacuum and the temporary opening of a purge valve.
As engine choices vary, you will need to choose your hoses from amongst those on hand at your local parts source, whose length and curves are based off wire bent templates you can fashion.

 Engines-Vol 9 No. 2 Pg 77 : Engine Vibration Isolation
The customary approach is to screw the engine firmly to the airframe and use rubber vibration isolation to reduce vibration transmitted from the airframe to important equipment such as the fuel tank, servos, batteries, and receiver.
I believe that additional vibration isolation at the source (engine) is very helpful in improving the reliability of airplane equipment by reducing the amount of vibration the airframe receives from the engine.
The vibrator force of the engine is transmitted to the airframe approximately as shown in one of a family of curves KX/F idealized in figure 2.

The idea for the engine, which was comprised of a pair of 'across frame' parallel twins linked by a pair of gears, was adopted by Ariel, then very much a force in the British motorcycle industry.
In 1949 the engine became all alloy and the overall handling and acceleration improved.
It was an incredible machine, the Square Four engine combined with the expansive 1000 cc capacity, that had by far the largest British engine available at the time.

 Tech Notes on Lexus V8 air meter and Lucas 560cc injector upgrade
In most cases with Toyota engines this is caused when the spark plug electrode or carbon deposits exceed 1700 deg F. When pre- ignition occurs the engines performance will fall off and the sparkplugs and pistons can become pitted or even partially melted with prolonged exposure to pre-ignition.
This back door air causes the electrical square wave signal produced in the large chamber by the karman Vortex sensor to slow down in frequency by a percent relative to the amount of air that sneaks into the engine through the small chamber.
The TCCS engine computer responds to this less measured air condition and reduces the amount of fuel it puts into the engine by adjusting the fuel injector pulse width to inject less fuel.

 The Rocket Engine Story by One Who Was There - by Gibson Butler
Hutchinson, who was an Oldsmobile engineer prior to transferring to Product Studies #5 when C. McCuen was appointed 1st Vice President in charge of engineering, designed and build a heavy in-line 6-cylinder (850 lbs.) spark ignition engine for high-compression studies.
SV-49 engine design and development accelerated and it appeared the first experimental engine would be ready to run in the fall of 1946.
Production and processing engineers were called in immediately because machinery also had to be designed and built, plant layouts made to determine location and space requirements, suppliers were contracted - a hell of a lot to be accomplished in order to introduce the new "Kettering" engine in the 1949 model.

 Square Enix licenses Unreal Engine 3 - Joystiq
Square Enix have announced that they have entered into an agreement with the Unreal Engine 3 and Gears of War developer, gaining a complete middleware platform for use in their upcoming games.
They don't do very well developing engines for games that aren't turn based/rpg oriented, so maybe they are adopting another engine to assist with carrying the stories into those gametypes.
After an intensed Gears of War MP battle among Square Enix developers, they called a meeting to discuss the possibility of using the Unreal Engine to develop a game which can be easily ported to the 360.

The drawing has (almost) no sizes mentioned in it, because the engine can be build in different forms (rectangle, square, even circular shape) and sizes up to about one square meter.
The stroke of the displacer(for a 500*500mm engine) is best at about 40mm (measured at its right end), supposing 60 upward- and downward movements a minute.
The bigger the engine, the slower it will move, so when you build a one-square-meter engine 60-80mm will be better.
