The engine is the heart of your car. It is a complex machine built to convert heat from burning gas into the force that turns the road wheels. The chain of reactions which achieve that objective is set in motion by a spark , which ignites a mixture of petrol vapour and compressed air inside  Read More

In automotive engineering, an exhaust manifold collects the exhaust gases from multiple cylinders into one pipe. A vehicle’s exhaust manifold plays the leading role in a car or truck’s exhaust system. It connects to each exhaust port on the engine’s cylinder head, and it funnels the hot exhaust to the exhaust pipe. With the help  Read More
