Zavolzhye Engine Factory
The Zavolzhye Engine Factory (russian: Заволжский моторный завод, Zavolzhskiy Motorniy Zavod, ZMZ) is a Russian automotive engine producer. The plant was founded in April 1958 to provide GAZ with engines, in particular for its new GAZ-21 Volga. The factory's first product was a brand-new OHV engine. Unusual for the era, it had aluminum block and head, with chain-driven camshaft and compression ratio The compression ratio is the ratio between the volume of the cylinder and combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine at their maximum and minimum values. A fundamental specification for such engines, it is measured two ways: the stat ... of 6.6:1; it produced at 4,000 rpm and at 2,200 rpm. The first engine was assembled 4 November 1959; by December 1968, ZMZ had produced one million units. ZMZ became independent in 1961, and was bought by UAZ in 2001. It produces spare parts for many vehicles of Soviet origin, as well as for som ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Zavolzhye, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast
Zavolzhye (russian: Заво́лжье) is a town in Gorodetsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia, located on the right bank of the Volga River, opposite Gorodets, the administrative centre of the district, and northwest of Nizhny Novgorod, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: Etymology The name of the town literally means ''" he landsbeyond the Volga"'', i.e., on the river's ''left'' bank, since "beyond" here is taken relative to the historically more populated right bank of the river. Thus, Zavolzhye—the region in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast—normally refers to its forested and sparsely populated northeastern half. This makes the name of the town of Zavolzhye somewhat confusing for some people in the region, since the city is located on the ''right'' side of the river—it is only "beyond the river" with respect to much older Gorodets. History It was founded in 1950 as a settlement serving the construction of the Gorky Hydroelectric Station (now Nizh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

GAZ-21
The GAZ M21 Volga is an automobile produced in the Soviet Union by GAZ (Gorkovsky Avtomobilniy Zavod, in English "Gorky automobile factory") from 1956 to 1970. The first car to carry the Volga name, it was developed in the early 1950s. Volgas were built with high ground clearance (which gives it a specific "high" look, contrary to "low-long-sleek" look of Western cars of similar design), rugged suspension, strong and forgiving engine, and rustproofing on a scale unheard of in the 1950s. The Volga was stylistically in line with the major American manufacturers of the period in which it was introduced, and incorporated such then-luxury features as the reclining front seat, cigarette lighter, heater, windshield washer and three-wave radio. When in 1959 the six-cylinder line of GAZ cars was discontinued, GAZ M-21 Volga became the biggest and most luxurious car officially sold to individual owners in the USSR in large quantities; though its very high price made it unavailable for ...

Overhead Valve
An overhead valve (OHV) engine, sometimes called a ''pushrod engine'', is a piston engine whose valves are located in the cylinder head above the combustion chamber. This contrasts with earlier flathead engines, where the valves were located below the combustion chamber in the engine block. Although an overhead camshaft (OHC) engine also has overhead valves, the common usage of the term "overhead valve engine" is limited to engines where the camshaft is located in the engine block. In these traditional OHV engines, the motion of the camshaft is transferred using pushrods (hence the term "pushrod engine") and rocker arms to operate the valves at the top of the engine. Some early intake-over-exhaust engines used a hybrid design combining elements of both side-valves and overhead valves. History Predecessors The first internal combustion engines were based on steam engines and therefore used slide valves. This was the case for the first Otto engine, which was first ...
