Stroke Ratio
Stroke ratio, today universally defined as bore/stroke ratio, is a term to describe the ratio between cylinder bore diameter and piston stroke length in a reciprocating piston engine. This can be used for either an internal combustion engine, where the fuel is burned within the cylinders of the engine, or external combustion engine, such as a steam engine, where the combustion of the fuel takes place ''outside'' the working cylinders of the engine. Conventions The contemporary convention for describing the ''stroke ratio'' of a piston engine‘s cylinders is its ''bore/stroke'' ratio. ''Stroke/bore'' ratio is an obsolete expression dating to the early era of reciprocating engine development. Bore/stroke ratio The diameter of the cylinder bore is divided by the length of the piston stroke to give the ratio. Square, oversquare and undersquare engines The following terms describe the naming conventions for the configurations of the various bore/stroke ratio: Square A square ...

C20NE
The Family II is a straight-4 piston engine that was originally developed by Opel in the 1970s, debuting in 1981. Available in a wide range of cubic capacities ranging from 1598 to 2405 cc, it simultaneously replaced the Opel CIH and Vauxhall Slant-4 engines, and was GM Europe's core mid-sized powerplant design for much of the 1980s, and provided the basis for the later Ecotec series of engines in the 1990s. The Family II shares its basic design and architecture with the smaller Family I engine (which covered capacities from 1.0 to 1.6 litres) - and for this reason the Family I and Family II engines are also known informally as the "small block" and "big block", respectively - although the 1.6 L capacity was available in either type depending on its fuelling system. The engine also spawned two diesel variants, the 1.6 L and 1.7 L. The engine features a cast iron block, an aluminium head, and a timing belt driven valvetrain. The timing belt also drives the water pump. I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
