Can a 3 cylinder engine run good on 2 cylinder?
Not really. If one of the three cylinders is not functioning, the engine has lost MORE than 1/3 of the power if you take into consideration that the engine is still moving the "dead" piston.
What is the function of a piston ring?
The three main functions of piston rings in reciprocating engines are:Sealing the combustion/expansion chamber.Supporting heat transfer from the piston to the cylinder wall.Regulating engine oil consumption.
What engine operates using a three-sided metal rotor instead of the traditional piston-and-cylinder arrangement?
Rotary or Wankel engine.
What are three things titanium is used to make?
Aicraft parts, Engine parts,Weapon parts
What is the three letter abbreviation for piston?
The three letter abbreviation for piston is "PST."
What engine operates using a three sided metal rotor instead of the traditional piston and cylinder arrangement?
The three sided rotary engine is a Wankel engine. The engines were used in Mazda cars, as well as some Norton motorcycles.
Is there any 3 stroke engine?
No. How could there be? The "stroke" of an engine is the piston going up or down. If the spark plug fires and piston goes down, then up,and then fires again, then it's a two-stroke engine. IN a 4-stroke engine, the spark plug fires, piston does down, then up to exhaust the cylinder, then down to suck in fresh air and cool the cylinder, and up again to compress, and the spark plug fires every other "up". How could you have a "three-stroke" engine? The spark plug fires and the explosion pushes the piston down, and the crankshaft pushes it back up. Then back down. If the spark plug fires while the piston is DOWN, the engine will seize up. Nope. In a piston engine, the number of "strokes" is always an even number. For radial or Wankel engines, things are different - but in those there is no piston, and no "stroke".
What are the parts of an engine?
Engine is a device that can convert chemical energy to mechanical energy. Since this device works mechanically, it composed of several parts that work together during the operation. Parts are either stationary or non stationary, meaning some parts are moving and some are not moving. There are also parts that are fixed to the body yet have the vital role for engine operation. Engine can be divided into three main parts, the cylinder head block, cylinder block and oil pan. This means an engine can be disassembled into three divisions. Each main part have several parts are attached to form as an assembly. Cylinder block is the foundation of the engine. It is mostly made of cast iron or iron mixed with other metals such as nickel and chromium. Cylinder block has large holes for the cylinder bores. Attached to the block is the crankshaft, connecting rod, piston with rings, oil pump, water pump, timing gears, flywheel, bearings, oil seals, piston liners, camshaft in some engine and drilled oil passages with oil filter. Cylinder head block is made of cast from cast iron or aluminum alloy. Parts attached to cylinder head block are valves, valve spring, valve guide, valve seat, rocker arm assembly, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, overhead camshaft, spark plug, fixed machined or drilled parts like water jackets, oil galleries, intake and exhaust ports. Oil pan is made of plastic or metal. Pan is shape to fit the bottom of the cylinder block. Oil strainer and oil drain plug are attached to this part.

What if some of the debris gets in the piston?
If it is metallic use a magnet to fish it out through the spark plug hole, if it is just dirt or liquid crank the engine with the spark plug out and the compression will blow it right out. Larger non-metallic items that might damage the piston will need to be removed with a telescoping three pronged grabber tool available at the parts store.
How many moving parts are in the human ear?
The middle ear, outer ear, and inner ear are the three parts of the ear.
What is the difference between a single-acting and an opposed piston engine is?
Single-acting? You mean like a single cylinder engine, like in my lawn mower? The biggest difference (besides the obvious "an opposed engine has more cylinders" is that an opposed engine has more torque. On a single-cylinder four-stroke, you've got the cylinder moving under input energy--the burning gasoline--for one stroke, and under stored energy from the flywheel for three strokes. If you have a two-cylinder engine, you have two strokes where the engine is moving under input energy--each cylinder has one--and two strokes using stored energy. If you have a four-cylinder engine, each stroke is moving under input energy.
