err.. umm.. i think u can do a search on d web for techincal info ;) it's more comprehensive than us sinkalan-linghams explaining to u ;)

my advice is if you go to www.howstuffworks.com they have all the info on automotive there that can help you out.. explaining to you here would be very difficult.. they have cool visual to help ur understanding... happy learning

ok, now i know abt camshaft n other things explained in howstuffworks.com.. but wat abt clutch plate? where n how does it fit in?

does spark plug universal or wat? coz i hav seen HKS spark plug n compared to typical one n its quite exp

 

[Fluffy]

if im not mistaken..spark plugs are universal..they can be used on most common types of cars..
the diff is that its made out of diff material.sum are made out of iridium and etc..
and another diff between branded ones and the typical ones is that they may have diff heat ranges..

 

[Dino@Casper]

spark plugs are slighty different.. for different car marks.. take a compare and u will see it looks different.. heat range is one thing.. correct me if i'm wrong..

 

['[00] TRD]

wat if im drivin a stock car? or turbocharged? wat heat range of spark plug i gotta use?

fr howstuffworks.com, clutch plate they dont explain much but more like sumthin on transmission? correct me if im wrong

rojak question: wat abt relay? how do we know which relay kit is better? how to identify? noobie here, heehee

 

[Fluffy]

for a stock car u normally use a lower heat range..and for t/c cars..a higher heat range..if im not mistaken..

clutch plate is the plate that is clamped onto the flywheel when the clutch is not pressed..when pressed..the clutch will disengage frm the flywheel.again..if im not mistaken

waa... now im more confusin, wats flywheel for? does it attach to clutch plate or sumthin?? i beleive its not in howstuffworks.com rite?

i hav seen lotsa performance stuff in N1 racin ad but dun understand wat r they for??!?! :X-:

 

[Fluffy]

the flywheel is attached to the engine.
okay..the engine combusts and produces heat which converts into movement of the pistons.rite?the pistons move the crankshaft.at the end of the crankshaft is the flywheel.so..when the crankshaft moves..the moves the flywheel...get it?

and this is where the clutch comes in play..okay so far?

got it got it!! then?? hhow will clutch works after that? heehee, hope u dun mind explainin them to me ya :embaressed_smile:

no prob man..i'm here to try my best and help u.. =)

clutch?basically..a clutch is used to connect the engine to the transmission(gear box) a clutch can only be found in a manual tranny car..an auto tranny car does not have a clutch but it has a torque converter.(that's another story)

so..the clutch clamps the flywheel when ur not pressing the clutch pedal.this will allow the engine to transfer the kinetic power to move the whole car.
when u press the clutch..it releases the clutch plate frm the flywheel.this will cut the engine off frm the transmission.this is to allow gear shifts.

okay? =P
