Editor’s/Plates Notes

Christmas is nearly here and I hope all members have a happy and safe Christmas. Don’t eat too much, don’t drink too much, but most of all have a great family time. Let’s all hope that 2021 is by far a better year, no fires and no covid 19. It has been a lousy year for a lot of people and at this time I wish on behalf of the club better times ahead.

Max & Joy Thompson have purchased a new 1974 VW Beetle, yellow in colour and very much like new. Faultless interior, one small tiny rust hole in floor. Doors shut as if the car just came off the showroom floor. Max has already started to bring blue one up to scratch for club plates also. Wanted for the Railway Station garden, especially the bank area, mulch HAY BALES. This will greatly help improving the look, and help with future plans for plants. It will also help reduce the weed problem that has been enormous this year. We are very lucky to have Norm Palazzi on board as a volunteer consultant

Happy Motoring

The Internal Combustion Engine, Explained

The all-you-need-to-know guide to that mechanical thing under the hood powering your car. BY GEAR PATROL APR 6, 2020

The modern combustion engine is a technological marvel, a mechanical miracle that requires little knowledge of its workings in order to use. Unless you’re a car geek, you probably don’t think all that much about your car’s engine.

Until something goes wrong under the hood, of course. When things go bad, the issues and causes can befuddle many drivers, for whom terms like “piston” and “crankcase” are obscure nomenclature, and “boxer” brings to mind Muhammed Ali, not Ferdinand Porsche.

So in order to provide a little clarity about what’s going on under the hood, we at Gear Patrol have pulled together a quick primer on how a combustion engine works and a rundown of the various types of combustion engines available in mainstream consumer automobiles.

Terms to Know

Carburetor: A device that mixes air and fuel in the proper ratio for combustion. The system is mechanical, not electronic like modern fuel injection or direct injection engines; as such, it’s less efficient. Crankcase: Part of the engine block that houses the crankshaft. Usually made from a one or two pieces of aluminum or cast iron. Crankshaft: The engine component connected to the pistons that provides rotational motion when combustion occurs. Cylinder: The portion of the engine block that houses the piston and connecting rod, and the location where combustion occurs. Direct Injection: A method by which gasoline is pressurized and injected into the cylinder’s combustion chamber. Unlike fuel injection, where gas is injected into the cylinder’s intake port. Harmonic Balancer: Also known as a dampener, a circular device made of rubber and metal attached to the front of the crankshaft to absorb vibrations and reduce crankshaft wear. It reduces engine harmonics that occur when multiple cylinders move along the crankshaft. Piston: A component housed within the cylinder walls and secured by piston rings. It moves up and down during the four-stroke combustion process, providing force when exploding fuel and air moves it. Rev Matching: Technology in manual transmission cars that utilize sensors on the clutch pedal, gear shift, and transmission, sending signals to the electronic control unit that tell it to rev the engine automatically if revolutions per minute fall too low. Rev matching also occurs during the downshift, bringing rpms higher to match the lower gear. This reduces wear on the engine and smooths the shifting process. Torsional Vibration: Vibration that occurs due to rotating shafts within a car.

The Combustion Engine

Once you get past the protective plastic engine cover found on most new cars, the vehicle’s heart is laid bare: an engine surrounded by a radiator, fluid reservoirs, airbox, and battery. Regardless of how complicated engines can be—thanks in part to features like direct injection, rev matching, etc.—most vehicles make use of what’s known as a four-stroke combustion cycle to convert fuel into kinetic energy. In a nutshell, your engine 1. draws air and fuel in, 2. compresses it, 3. ignites it, pushing the pistons down and generating the mechanical force that moves the car, and 4. expels the air to make room for the next round of the cycle.

Though the actual process is significantly more complicated, the four stages can basically be summed up as such:

https://www.gearpatrol.com/author/820352/gearpatrol/https://gearpatrol.com/2015/01/30/will-the-crossover-kill-the-sports-car/https://gearpatrol.com/2015/01/14/best-of-the-detroit-auto-show-2015/

5

Intake stroke: Air and fuel are drawn into the cylinder as the piston moves downward. Compression Stroke: The air brought into the engine and the fuel are compressed when the cylinder moves into the upstroke position. Combustion Stroke: A spark from the spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture, creating pressure. The expanding mixture pushes the piston downward. Exhaust Stroke: The resulting gas mixture created by the ignition and expansion is expelled from the cylinder as waste.

Engine output varies greatly, depending on the number of cylinders, the configuration of the engine, and technologies like turbocharging and supercharging. Horsepower isn’t just about adding cylinders or displacement; in fact, many of today’s high-performance four-cylinder engines can easily match or exceed the outputs of their six-cylinder brethren. These days, it’s also a game of technology; mate a smaller gasoline engine with an electric motor, and you have a recipe for added acceleration. (Case in point: the BMW i8, which combines a turbocharged 1.5-liter inline three-cylinder with an electric motor for a total of 357 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.)

Engine Types

Modern combustion engines have come a long way since 1876, when German-born Nicolaus Otto built the first four-stroke internal combustion engine. Today, automotive engineers perform regular miracles by extracting maximum horsepower and efficiency from the design. And although hybrid and electric powertrains are on the rise, for now, combustion engines—inline/straight, V-type, and boxer/flat, using gasoline or diesel fuel‚ own the road.

Inline/Straight Engines

Examples of Inline/Straight Engines Inline/Straight-Three: BMW i8 Inline/Straight-Four: Honda Civic Si Inline/Straight-Six: BMW X3 / X4 M

In an “inline” or “straight” engine, the cylinders are arranged in a straight line. The overwhelming majority of four-cylinder cars on the road are “inline-four” engines, so the industry generally refers to them as “four cylinders.” Inline four-cylinder engines tend to be found in economy cars, since they are less expensive to build and easier to maintain—the cylinders line up along a single crankshaft that drives the pistons.

The inline/straight six-cylinder engine is inherently balanced, due to the fact that there are no secondary harmonics generated by pairs of pistons moving at odd angles or on a different axis from one another, resulting in much less vibration than straight four-cylinder engines. Currently, only BMW and Mercedes-Benz make inline/straight six-cylinder engines for their passenger cars — and they have a stellar reputation for smoothness and balance.

V-Type Engines

Examples of V-Type Engines V-4: Porsche 919 Hybrid Le Mans V-6: Toyota 4Runner V-8: Dodge Challenger V-10: Lamborghini Huracán V-12: Ferrari 821 Superfast

“V-6” and “V-8” are so embedded into the American vocabulary, some people may not know engines come in any other format. V-type engines typically have two rows of cylinders set at a 90-degree angle to each other — hence the “V” formation — with each row bearing half the number of total cylinders. As a result, V-type engines are shorter and take up less room than straight ones, enabling carmakers to decrease the size of the engine compartment and increase crumple zones and passenger space. It’s also easier to set them lower in the vehicle, benefiting handling.

If you fancy yourself a motorsport fan, you have an appreciation for V-type engines, due to their frequent use in race cars. The rigid construction and robust materials used in V-type engines allow it to take on high stresses. This also allows for low torsional vibration forces, providing for smooth delivery during gearshifts and high rpms.

Boxer/Flat Engine

Examples of Boxer/Flat Engines Flat-Four: Subaru WRX Flat-Six: Porsche 911 Carrera

The term “boxer” engine comes from the layout of pistons that lay horizontally toward one another, similar to two opposing boxers touching gloves at the outset of a bout. The pistons in a boxer/flat engine form two banks—one on each side of a single crankshaft.

The boxer engine does more than sound intimidating; it allows for a lower center of gravity than inline/straight and V-type engines, improving handling. (There’s a reason Porsche uses the boxer engine in their 911, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman sports cars.) Boxer engines, however, tend to be bulkier and more awkwardly-shaped, making them difficult to fit in a front-mounted engine compartment. (Subaru—the only other carmaker currently using a boxer engine—manages to do so quite successfully, however.)

Diesel Engines

Examples of Diesel Engines V-6 Turbodiesel: Ram 1500 EcoDiesel V-8 Turbodiesel:Ford F-250 Super Duty

Get rid of the old notion of smoke spewing out of raucous 18-wheelers; modern, clean-burning diesel engines found in passenger cars are far less gross. The combustion that occurs in a diesel engine doesn’t require a spark; rather, high-energy diesel fuel ignites due to the high compression of the pistons: air is compressed, heating it to very high temperatures; the fuel is injected, and the mixture ignites.

While diesel engines come in various numbers of cylinders, they differ from their gas counterparts specifically because they use compression rather than a spark to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture. But it’s more than just how combustion occurs that sets these powerplants apart: By virtue of the fact that higher pressures are required for combustion, a diesel engine has to be built like a tank to withstand the abuse. As a result, they tend to last longer than standard internal combustion engines. Diesel engines are also more efficient; they extract more energy from their fuel than gasoline.

And finally, diesel engines provide one benefit many enthusiasts love: more torque at lower engine speeds, which makes them feel zippier off the line.

Finely grate remaining chocolate and set aside. Cut avocados in half and scoop flesh into a blender. Reserve avocado shells. Add melted chocolate, cream, maple syrup and vanilla to blender and process mixture until smooth. Spoon mixture into reserved avocado shells. Sprinkle with grated chocolate and edible flowers to serve. Note: Use a dry metal spoon when stirring the chocolate as moisture in wooden spoons can cause the chocolate to seize (go hard and grainy). You can also melt chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Tip: Ensure the flowers you use are edible and unsprayed. Image and recipe courtesy of Australian Avocados.

Open Day 29th November

Pretty quiet day, only four visitors but seven members attended the day for a chat. One visitors was telling me his grandfather was on Rosie when it was in full service. Rosie is a steam train that has been owned by Lachlan Valley Railway for many years, Rosie has just gone through a major refurbishment and is ready to go back to work as a tourist train for LVR.

The group sat and chatted for a while and Mr McCann arrived back and presented with a photo of Rosie with Jack McCann standing beside Rosie The photo was taken at Wingen in the Hunter Valley. Thanks for the information and photo, the photo will go beside Rosie in the Roundhouse at LVR.

Our new garden consultant came down in the morning to look at what we have and how it could be improved. He is going away to write up what he suggests will grow well on the bank. Another interesting day, the day went very quick.

After closing up it was yet another trip to the police station to give a further statement in regards to the 2019 break-in. Russell Denning Honda CBX 650 Kathy Denning Modern Rodney Bowd Ford Fairmont Ron Fazzari Triumph 2000 Dave Barrand Hopkirk Mini John Mooney Modern Ian Reid Modern

Joke A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy: 'So I hear you're getting married?' 'Yep!' 'Do I know her?' 'Nope!' 'This woman, is she good-looking?' 'Not really.' 'Is she a good cook?' 'Naw, she can't cook too well.' 'Does she have lots of money?' 'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.' 'Well, then, is she good in bed?' 'I don't know.' 'Why in the world do you want to marry her then?' 'Because she can still drive!'

Eugowra Museum 28th November

It was a very hot and windy day, so windy in fact that the Caravan at Eugowra could not erect any shade umbrellas. Some of the members found shade in the children’s play area. No complaints about the food, exceptionally good. The museum is a typical country museum, well set out and with lots of local items.

Christmas Party

12th December Today was a very successful well attended Cowra Club Christmas Party at Cowra Golf Club. It was Sad not to present any car trophies this year mainly due to lack of events due to Covid 19. The

trophies are awarded at the Christmas Party but are usually selected at Registration Day. There are new cars, four very nice cars, but are only recent members to the club, very recent, so recent that very few have seen their cars. One of the cars owned by a new member is already on club plates with another club. The other club is far less active than the CAVC.

It was a very pleasant great turnout with 35 members attending and two Children. Lucky door prizes were won by Bob Binnington and Elva Smith.

The day started out with Morning tea at the Railway Station and the a leisurely drive out through Chiverton, through Noonbinna and on to Boorowa Road to end up at the Golf Club.

For Kathy and I it was a feel good day, and a very long day. We dropped off a couple of members at their home who came to the Golf Club by Taxi. We got chatting over a drink and ended up leaving their place at 8:00 pm.

I hope everyone had a very nice day.

Koorawatha Pub 19th December

This will go down in the history of the club for quite a few reasons, mostly funny, but it was like “What a small World”. The new owners of Koorawatha Pub turn out to be locals, The husband Jamie, was a student of mine 30 years ago, a motorcycle mechanic and his wife was Rays next door neighbour out at the fame. It was really great to catch up, Jamie’s sister and mother are well known by Kathy. After all these years Jamie recognised me instantly, must not have changed much. I am getting a little ahead of myself again, I should start at the beginning, the Railway Station. Larry & Sue were running a little late so we picked them up just heading out of Cowra, well timed.

The run out to Greenthorpe was pretty steady, although the Renault 750 knew it was going up Bumbaldry, slowing down to 40 mph in third gear, getting a little hot, but not that hot it was a worry. Car cooled back down quickly on other the downhill run after the crest. Stopped at Greenthorpe for morning tea and Russell ended up with another job of tuning twin SU’s in the near future. Leaving Greenthorpe we got lost and had a nice close up look at Greenthorpe Silo’s. Almost round the block on dirt to back where we started. The convoy headed out past Iandra Castle towards Young. This is where the fun started, our leader missed the turnoff to Wirrima (admittedly the road sign was pointing to the ground). Lost again and following the leader we came to a T intersection. Presume the leader had four choices, go back to Iandra, Go back to Wirrima Rd, Go on to Young and the bitumen to Koorawatha or stay on the dirt to Koorawatha. WE were actually on the scenic drive to Young, so the trip on the dirt was very pretty. Over a hill and here is Dave slowing down dragging his roof rack and awning behind the sceptre. Few minutes later we were back on our way. Next decision was to continue on dirt or turn right to Bendick Murrell. Only a few more kilometres of dirt and back on the tar sealed road. Quick run on to the Koorawatha Pub, sensational meals, I has Chicken Schnitzel, but the Hamburgers with the lot were huge, some had fish & chips, all perfect. After lunch we chatted over a few more soft drinks and Cappuccino. Then to have an ice-cream which finished the meals nicely. Jumped in the Reno to come home – NOTHING – aaarrrgghh bugger – NO START – forgot to tighten the battery terminal again. It was a great day, thanks to Ray for organising a great run, and getting us lost TWICE, we would not have seen so much beautiful country if we hadn’t got lost.

Joke Murphy says to Paddy, "What ya talkin into an envelope for?" Paddy replies. “I'm sending a voicemail ya fool!" 19 Paddies go to the cinema, the ticket lady asks "Why so many of you?" Mick replies, "The film said 18 or over." I went to the cemetery yesterday to lay some flowers on a grave.As I was standing there I noticed 4 grave diggers walking about with a coffin.3 hours later and they're still walking about with it.I thought to myself, they've lost the plot!! My daughter asked me for a pet spider for her birthday, so I went to our local pet shop and they were £70!!! Blow this, I thought, I can get one cheaper off the web. Statistically, 6 out of 7 dwarfs are not Happy. My neighbour knocked loudly on my door at 2:30am this morning, he was obviously in trouble by his urgency , Luckily for him, I was still up —playing my Bagpipes. The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.So I have been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back. Sat opposite an Indian lady on the train today, she shut her eyes and stopped breathing.I thought she was dead, until I saw the red spot on her forehead and realised she was just on standby. When I was in the pub, I heard a couple of plonkers saying that they wouldn't feel safe on an aircraft if they knew the pilot was a woman. What a pair of sexists. I mean, it's not as if she'd have to reverse the bloody thing! Local Police hunting the 'knitting needle nutter', who has stabbed six people in the rear in the last 48 hours, believe the attacker could be following some kind of pattern. Just got back from my mate's funeral. He died after being hit on the head with a tennis ball. It was a lovely service. Submitted by John Toohey

If you had bought $1000 worth of AIG shares one year ago. You would have made $33.00 today. If you had bought $1000 worth of Lehman Brothers Shares one year ago. You would have made $0.00 today. BUT .... If you purchaseD $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer then returned the cans for recycling. You would have made $214.00 today. So based on above ,the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle !! AND DID YOU KNOW...... A recent study found that the average Australian walks 900 miles a year. Another study found the average Australian consumes 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means on average AUSSIES get 41 miles to the gallon. MAKES YOU PROUD TO BE AN AUSSIE. DOESN’T IT ??
