Engine bearings play a vital role in the proper functioning of any vehicle’s engine. Their primary duty is to lessen the friction between moving parts, thereby preventing erosion and promoting ...

Engine bearings do many things. They support moving parts like crankshafts and connecting rods, but they also play a role in determining an engine's oil pressure and protect the crankshaft from being ...

Blueprinting has become an abused term. For those who build their own engines—or at least want to know how to check clearances like valve-to-piston on an existing engine—we will offer some techniques ...

If you were with us last month when we demonstrated how to remove and disassemble an engine, you are probably now staring at a large maze of engine parts. This installment deals with putting all those ...

To improve both the durability and reliability of the main bearing, and also to reduce friction, a technique was developed to measure transient sliding friction of main bearings in a firing engine.

Garage 54 shows what happens when you remove the insert bearings from an engine’s connecting rods and crankshaft. After the engine fails, the folks at Garage 54 take it apart to show all the internal ...

Building an engine is a sort of rite of passage for motorheads, one that holds the power to provide a tremendous sense of accomplishment, though it can also bring the pain and frustration of failure.
