2fe Engine Questions
I’ve really been starting to try and understand the engine lately as I am not very mechanically inclined, but I’d like for that to change and I figure there’s only one way of that to happen - research, questions, and more questions. I’ve started around the cylinders and I’ll keep trying to learn as much as I can. I’ve read some on mud, but I figure I’d check out some other, subject specific resources for newbies that are just starting. Here are some questions that arose from the following prompts. Please explain if you can, in as simple terms as possible because I am still very new to this. And please feel free to start explaining any other stuff you feel necessary because even if I don’t need it now, I’ll need it in the future. Thank you, and pardon my ignorance.
What does it mean when it says “increasing the engines crankshaft arm or lever”? Where is the crankshaft arm or lever?
Are the piston rings inside of the grooves towards the end of the piston?
Is this referring to what I’ve seen here on mud as not passing the emission tests? Why wouldn’t they pass the tests?
I really do not understand any of the process of engine balancing.
What are the wrist pins, rings, and rod bolts talked about here? Also what exactly does good compression mean?
Also found this picture on a 2fe engine rebuild, I know that it’s the cylinder head, if someone could please explain a bit how this works in relation to the cylinders, and just in general. Thanks.
