The internal combustion engines that power our cars rely on an extensive series of interconnected parts, mechanical systems, and electronics to send us down the road. Some of those components are well ...

Discover how motorsport engineering reveals the impact of flywheel design on engine balance, responsiveness, and real-world ...

When you consider the crazy monkey motion of reciprocating internal combustion engines it is remarkable they work as well as they do. You have eight pistons and connecting rods doing a "do-si-do" ...

What is a balanced engine? Why do you want a balanced engine? An engine has uneven forces from rotational mass, reciprocating mass, and firing intervals. To balance the engine, we need to balance out ...

Obtaining perfect balance is important to your engine's performance. The harmonic balancer reduces torsional vibration of the crankshaft, which is the motion naturally generated during each power ...

We recently got to hang out with the guys from West Coast Balance in Santa Ana, California, to learn about the procedures they use to meticulously balance rotating assemblies—everything from ...

It’s astonishing to realize that by 2017, the LS engine will be 20 years old. This coming of age has also delivered an avalanche of new parts. Engine swaps have become a critical reason for the ...
