The engine was built from a new bare gm performance parts ls2 engine block to take advantage of its larger 4 00 inch bore but the rest of the external dress was standard camaro ls1.
Ceramic engine valves.
Intake valves usually do not suffer as severely as exhaust valves which see combustion chamber temperatures.
Ceramic and ceramic head valves have been demonstrated for use as exhaust valves at only 40 percent the mass of steel valves but the brittle failure mode of ceramic versions can have devastating consequences on the engine.
Powerkote cbx ceramic thermal barrier coating.
Current trends in spark ignition engines are toward multivalve engines capable of operating at relatively high speeds to maximize performance and fuel economy at acceptable emissions levels.
Ceramics are used in engine applications where there isn t any impact or tension loading ceramic ball bearings turbos are a good example as well as valves cams etc.
The japanese concern touts the environmental advantages of its ceramic auto components which include exhaust control valves diesel fuel injection components and gas turbine components.
Xeramic ceramic engine protector 20103 20103 1 high quality engine treatment for 50 000km optimal protection even after chaning the engine oil.
This reduces the friction particularly in engines where oil flow is restricted to the head.
Creates a hard surface specifically designed for engines running high volumes of fuel and or high compression ratios or closed chamber heads.
Therefore the primary concern is lubricating the valve stem and seat.
12 5 1 compression ratios nitrous oxide n2o supercharged or turbocharged.
Here is an article on the prospects for an adiabatic turbo diesel from 1987 adiabatic diesel engine technology in future transportation.
The unique ceramic material bonds itself to most critical components in the engine.
We do this by the application of a dry film lubricant.
For all other applications use cbc2 above.
Interest in and experimentation with ceramics in the internal combustion engine ice goes way back.
Such as piston rings bearing valve lifters etc.
Jacers is a leading source for top quality basic science research and modeling spanning the diverse field of ceramic and glass materials science.
