1

How are the cylinders numbered in V-type engines?

42% Answer Correctly

alternating from the front of the engine to the back

sequentially from the front of the engine to the back

cylinder numbering varies by manufacturer

sequentially from the back of the engine to the front


Solution

In V-type engines the numbering sequence varies by manufacturer.


2

Engine oil viscosity is rated using the format XW-XX with the number preceding the W indicating viscosity at __________ ℉ and the XX indicating viscosity at __________ ℃.

65% Answer Correctly

0, 100

0, 0

100, 100

100, 0


Solution

The primary component of the lubrication system is engine oil. Engines require oil blends with different thickness (viscosity) and additives depending on their operating conditions. Viscosity is rated using the format XW-XX with the number preceding the W (winter) rating the oil’s viscosity at 0 ℉ (-17.8 ℃) and the XX indicating viscosity at 100 ℃.


3

__________ are made with wide gap coils of rigid steel cable and both hold the vehicle chassis up off the ground and absorb energy from wheel movement making for a smoother ride.

67% Answer Correctly

suspension springs

control arms

shock absorbers

ignition coils


Solution

Suspension springs are made with wide gap coils of rigid steel cable and both hold the vehicle chassis up off the ground and absorb energy from wheel movement making for a smoother ride.


4

Which of the following is not a function of the oil pan?

62% Answer Correctly

screens debris from oil

acts as the engine oil reservoir

cools engine oil

feeds the oil pump


Solution

The oil pan contains the engine oil reservoir of from four to six quarts of oil and feeds the oil pump through the oil pickup tube. An oil strainer floats at the top of the oil in the oil pan and screens debris from the oil before feeding it to the oil pump.


5

Which of the following is a common firing order for four-cylinder engines?

66% Answer Correctly

1-3-4-2

1-2-3-4

4-3-2-1

3-1-2-4


Solution

The stroke cycle of an engine is governed by the crankshaft which serves to regulate the firing order of the cylinders. All cylinders are not on the same stroke at the same time and correct firing order is important to balance engine operation and minimize vibrations. A common firing order for four-cylinder engines is 1-3-4-2 which indicates that cylinders 1 and 3 fire (power stroke)together and cylinders 4 and 2 fire together.
