How to learn how to build an engine from the ground up?
I'm 17. I also have the resources and all too. But I just want to build a fast engine. Maybe a ford racing or something like that. Is there a way I can find out what parts and the instructions i need and just order all of that off the internet or something? You will probably tell me to take a mechanics class but I'm planning on doing that next school year. I appreciate your answers in advance!
First learn how to build an engine, then strip it down and rebuild it again. The best way to do this is to get an old chugger from a scrap yard. When you can get that running sweet then progress to the next stage.
If you think building a fast engine is just a case of getting a few bits off the internet, boy oh boy do you have a learning curve in front of your? A fast engine is probably 60% right parts and 40% the skill of the builder.
Hi so you have so much to learn about the subject before being able to do this with some competance. It works right. I would guess at least 20 years at best.
so engineering is where your head needs to at in the first instance as most so called car mechanics are not engineers but engine fitters. They fit things like starter motors when they fail they never take a starter motor apart to find out how it actually works.
as it is electrical they stay well away from it as it is usually beyond there understanding.
so what is needed is years of study and taking car parts apart and a awful lot of reading and taking of exams to qualify enough to understand what is involved.
going off to university is now what we did years ago as the standard has now dropped that low. So only at university will you now get down to the real parameters of how a car engine functions. At the nuts and bolts level and learn thing like the lost spark principle which is used today in car ignition systems, as we now have electronic management systems you would also need a degree in electronics to understand what the engine management computer functions with the parameters it gets from it's sensors to produce the optimium performance.
- Should I learn to drive with a Ford Taurus or Honda Odyssey or it doesn't matter? I've asked this question before, but I made a mistake when it came to the cars. I took 4 hours of driving instruction driving a Ford Taurus, but I was just curious if I should buy more hours or just train with my dad with has a Honda Odyssey. I'm in my 30s, so I'm looking for mature answers. Would it be hard to learn on a larger sized vehicle? I drove it once, and it seemed all right. Any advice is appreciated. TIA
- Where is the ground wire on a ford ranger instrument cluster? Instrument cluster died on 93 ranger. I'm told its the ground wire but I have no idea where its located. What I'm looking for is the specific location where the ground wire comes loose.
- Are the 1994 - 1998 Ford Mustangs low to the ground similar to the Camaro? So the other day I sat in a 1995 Ford Mustang convertible (4th generation Mustang) and a few months ago I was sitting in the passenger seat of my cousins Chevrolet Camaro. Both cars are pretty low to the ground and I'm a very big guy. I couldn't fit properly and both the Mustang and the Camaro in their fourth generations. That means the Mustang in the Camaro are low to the ground completely. Is this really true about Mustangs and Camaros being lowed to the ground.
