Although the 24-valve was more powerful than the 6BT and was, by all means, still a very good engine, it never achieved quite the same popularity as the original 12-valve. Today, the 5.9 12-valve diesel is still very much sought-after by truck buyers for its reliability, mechanical simplicity, and efficiency.

A SOHC engine with 16 valves produces better torque than a DOHC with the same number of valves due to the DOHC engine additional weight. But the DOHC will produce more horsepower at higher speeds. The SOHC has better low-end torque while the DOHC has more top end power while the two hold the same number of valves.

GM 243 (LS6) and 799 (LS2), 226 cc. AI's flagship cathedral port increases the port volume by 15 cc over stock, allowing up to a 41-cfm improvement over stock while still utilizing the factory GM valves (reground).

Happy ending! Spoke to Drayton technical support on Monday and they confirmed that British Gas TRVs are rebadged Drayton TRVs. They also told me that TRV4 and RT212 heads are interchangeable and can fit on the same valve body.

They are only better because they got low miles and that's it. Partially true, but false at the same time. Many JDM engines have higher compression, better internals, etc. A clean JDM motor will usually respond better to bolt on mods (header, intake, intake manifold, etc.)

Add 11 quarts of engine oil (the 5.9L Cummins has a 12 quart capacity, however 1 quart has already been added to the oil filter) through the engine fill tube located at the front of the timing cover.

On average, an inline or “straight-six” is considered more reliable and powerful. One of the most prominent examples is a Ram Heavy Duty running the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 engine.

4 valves per cylinder allows for more airflow than 2 valves per cylinder, as there is larger open area when the valves are open. ... With the prevention of valve float, engines can rev higher and produce more power. The advantages of two valves per cylinder is a reduction of parts, thus saving cost and complexity.

Flowmaster Super 44 It's the iconic Flowmaster sound with a new-school twist. And comparing the Flowmaster 40 vs 44, the Super 44 would generally perform better on a dyno. On the road, the only difference you'll notice is the sound.

ATF can be used,it meets the requirements for the newer systems too. The western fliud is thinner at low temps and that is supposed to make the poppet valves flow better.Id use ATF,I use it in all 4 of my plows 3 minute mount electrica,and one unimount western,no problems.

Cummins pickup truck engines provide legendary power, reliability and durability. No wonder so many pickup truck owners insist on Cummins or nothing at all. The Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel engine is available in RAM 2500 and 3500 Heavy-Duty pickup trucks and RAM 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis cabs.

A V12 is a typical V engine w/ 6 inline cylinders per side. A W12 has two configurations. The original had 3 cylinder banks w/ each having 4 cylinders. ... The VW W12 has 2 banks of 6 cylinders, but the cylinders are staggered to allow for a shorter, but wider block.

"Typically, 2-stroke engines rev up to higher speeds than 4-stroke engines, and this accounts for much of the higher power per pound," Parish says. "Also, small 2-stroke engines use intake and exhaust ports instead of valves, thus saving the weight and cost of a valve train.

A multi-valve engine design typically has three, four, or five valves per cylinder to achieve improved performance. Any four-stroke internal combustion engine needs at least two valves per cylinder: one for intake of air (and often fuel), and another for exhaust of combustion gases.

cam controls the valve action and timing. better cylinder filling = more compression, bigger BOOM sound. engine is louder. simply put.

The 12-gauge has a muzzle velocity of 1,250 feet per second, while the 20 has only 1,100 feet per second. Because the 12-gauge, in general, is faster in exit velocity than the 20-gauge, it will also have a better effective range.
