While torque specifications can vary among fastener brands and lubricants, cylinder head torque sequences tend to remain constant for each individual engine. OnAllCylinders has been rolling out a series of quick-reference infographics for torque sequences of various engine makes, and today we’re focusing on Chrysler’s V8 and V10 engines. You can see our torque sequence
What’s the difference between a torque-to-yield bolt and a torque-angle bolt? I see these bolts used with newer engines. Are they the same thing? I’ve also heard that you’re not supposed to reuse these bolts. Is that true? Thanks D.T. Jeff Smith: First and most importantly, let’s distinguish between what we’re talking about. Your first
OnAllCylinders readers might remember when we began our 70,000-mile 1994 Jeep Wrangler Sahara project by giving it a frame-off restoration by stripping and recoating the frame with KBS products. That was a while ago, and life and weather conspired to put the project on the proverbial back burner. But now that both have returned to some sense of
If you want to freshen up the look of your brake calipers and brake drums with VHT Caliper Paint, you’re in the right place. If the brake calipers and drums you want to paint have signs of aging, like old paint or corrosion, you’ll want to have VHT Caliper Cleaner and a good wire brush
Q: I’ve found that many of the best intake choices for the Ford 351C are for the engine with 4V cylinder heads. What is the biggest difference between the 2V and 4V heads? I know the valves in the 4V heads are bigger, but what other differences are there? Can the 2V head be machined to 4V
Sloppy steering giving you fits? Before you curse your steering system, you need to pinpoint the actual cause of problem. Poor steering may actually be the result of suspension system issues, worn tires, or other non-steering system inadequacies. Then again, maybe it is your steering system. Bottom line is, you need to track down the root
In the United States, OEMs are turning to turbocharging as a method to downsize engine displacement and increase fuel economy. At the other end of the spectrum, those in charge of developing high performance and racing engines are targeting turbocharging for substantial power gains. The OEM’s regard GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) as a key enabler
If you’ve ever been in the market for a new fuel pump, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about “brushed” and “brushless motors.” But hearing about them and knowing about them are two separate things, so the guys at FUELAB put together an informative article on the topic. As a leader in fuel system technology and
Do you have enough voltage reaching your spark plugs? The voltage required to light your plugs is constantly changing and can range from 5,000 volts to 40,000 volts and higher, depending on your engine setup. That’s why many high performance engines use a high-output ignition coil to deliver the voltage needed. The job of the
Q: I have a Chevy Silverado K20 pickup with a 350. The engine is basically stock but is bored .030-inch over, has flat top pistons, and an Edelbrock Performer intake and 600 cfm carburetor. I just put in a COMP Cams Magnum 292 Series cam with new lifters, valve springs, retainers, etc., plus roller rocker arms. My
