Test your engine IQ

1.What is meant by decking a block?

Store the block

Surface by machining or grinding

Paint and polish the block

Clean and inspect

2.The purpose of plateau honing is...

Scuffs the surface to insure rings seat

Leaves cylinder diameter smaller at the bottom

Hones just the peek points from the center of each crosshatch

None of the above

3.Why would you degree a camshaft?

To make sure that the ratio for the crankshaft and camshaft is two to one

To insure that the distributor is in time

So that the valve timing is in the exact synchronization with the pistons

So that the engine oil pressure will not be too low

4.What is a three-angle valve job?

The cylinder head is surfaced three degrees less on the intake side

The valve seat has three different angles or the seat is relieved above and below the seat surface

The valve head is ground on three different angles

The valve guides are at different angles

5.What is the purpose of Magnaflux?

To keep metal parts from rusting

To seal a block and keep it from leaking oil or water

To check clearances in fitting parts

To identify and locate cracks in iron parts

6.What is meant by camshaft overlap?

It is the amount degrees the camshaft is retarded

It is the amount of degrees the camshaft is advanced

To check clearances in fitting parts

It is the amount of time that both valves are open when the piston is at top dead center

7.What information is needed to determine the right camshaft?

The type of fuel that is available

The RPM the engine will be operated at

The compression ratio of the engine

All of the above

8.What are some of the things that will cause detonation?

Too heavy oil weight

Riding the clutch

Ignition timing too slow

Fuel mixture too lean and the compression ratio too high

9.How can a solid lifter cam work in a hydraulic non-adjustable valve train?

Machine off rocker arm stud boss or fulcrum and install screw in studs

Riding the clutch

Change camshaft timing

None of the above

10.What are some of the advantages of balancing an engine?

The engine will run smoother

The engine will last longer

A small gain in horse power
