Drivetrain Design
The drivetrain starts downstream from the engine’s crank flange and goes to the driven wheels and tires.

Engine Cooling
No one gives much thought to the engine’s cooling system until it fails to do its job and you overheat halfway through a cruise or some similar adventure.

Engine Oiling
The engine’s oiling system does not get much respect.

Ignition Design
The premise that all engine components must work together as a team has been discussed in many previous Tech Insider columns.

Manifolding
In past articles I have discussed the engine’s block, heads, rotating parts, intake manifold and valvetrain, and looking at these individual engine parts can be misleading.

Upper Valvetrain Design
This article is the second of two parts and should be looked at with the “Lower Valvetrain Design” Tech Insider story in the November/December 2010 issue of Mopar® Magazine.

Lower Valvetrain Design
This article was supposed to be on the typical V-8 engine’s valvetrain, but I ran into a small problem – too many part numbers.

Rotating Assembly Design
By definition the engine’s rotating assembly consists of the crankshaft, the connecting rods, the connecting rod bearings, the pistons, the piston rings, and the piston pins.

Intake Manifold Design
In the past couple articles, I discussed the design aspects of the various engine blocks and cylinder heads, and in this MM issue we’ll cover intake manifolds.

Cylinder Head Design
The engine’s cylinder block is the basic foundation for the engine. The block is the largest single part of the engine and tends to be the part that holds everything together.

Block Design
The engine’s cylinder block is the basic foundation for the engine. The block is the largest single part of the engine and tends to be the part that holds everything together.

Trail Upgrades Jeep and Ram Chassis
