Motorcycle engine design and innovation has long surpassed that of the automotive industry, and industry observers agree that the big companies like Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki can muster considerable R&D prowess here, which can then be applied to their automobile engines.

Competitors are especially aware of this. Says former Oldsmobile chief engineer Ted Louckes: "That's where the leading edge of piston engine technology is today. It's not in automobiles; it's not in aircraft. It's in motorcycles."

The Goal: Better Combustion

When considering the advantages of a combustion chamber crammed with more than four valves-per-cylinder, the first inclination is to think, aha! Flow area! Five valves equals more flow area! True, to a degree, but that's only part of the Yamaha's design strength.

In the reigning days of the two-valvers, engine designers would control pinging by incorporating squish bands into the combustion chambers. By the 1960s, the four-valve heads of Cosworth and Honda racing engines were allowing narrow included valve angles and thus shallow combustion chambers. Put the spark plug in the center, and voila!, good combustion.

Yamaha looked beyond four valves to unlock even better combustion. In the early '80s (Yamaha had only been a serious producer of four-stroke engines for about ten years!) it experimented with a variety of head and valve configurations, even trying a seven-valve-per-cylinder (four intakes, three exhaust) design.

Finally, five valves per jug was found to be the right combination. This design gives the engine extra intake valve perimeter, which allows it to flow more air at low-to-medium valve lifts -- exactly where valves in most production automotive engines spend most of their operating time.

Honda of America Mfg., Inc., has combined plant and production engineering with advanced manufacturing techniques to become one of the leading engine producers in North America.

The million-square-foot plant manufactures 500,000 high technology engines and drive trains a year. Kinzer noted that the plant produces everything that makes a car "go and stop." He said that even Japan has no Honda facility comparable to the Anna plant. Its production, he reported, equals the total of seven similar Honda manufacturing units in Japan. At present production levels, a Civic or Accord engine is produced at the Anna plant every 27 seconds.

Honda's iron foundry operates three shifts per day. The ferrous casting and machining operations include the production of engine cylinder sleeves and brake discs and drums. Aluminum casting operations include high pressure casting of engine blocks and transmission and torque converter cases, low pressure casting of engine cylinder heads and gravity casting of pistons.

Great Dodge Truck Parts

Dodge typically connotes large and powerful trucks every time the term “dodge” is used. Though, there are also other types such as sedans and other small cars aside from their big trucks. These cars, just like their trucks, are likewise muscular and powerful.

The Dodge brand, which was formerly known as Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicle Company went through an interesting history. The original Dodge Company founded in 1901 by John Francis Dodge and Horace Elgin Dodge was the Dodge Brothers Bicycle and Machine Factory. The Dodge brothers started to collaborate with the Ford Motor Company, and later on decided to put up their own automobile industry. In 1913, they began producing their own automobiles, and the first Dodge automobile appeared on November 14, 1914 with their name on it as a 1915 model. This company manufactured products essential to the early automobile industry and has also helped designing motor parts for early vehicles like the Oldsmobile. During the war, the company first manufactured their trucks, which were first used by the American army, and later sold commercially.

Even with many automobile manufacturers nowadays, Dodge had handled staying on top with dodge truck parts. The tight competition in the automotive industry became Dodge’s encouragement to give great efforts and emerge with exemplified, innovative, and high performance vehicle products and result. Entering the industry of automobiles was not very simple especially with the other big competitors out there but still Dodge achieved its goals and remained in the industry as one of the most successful automobile manufacturers. All companies started from simple manufacturing and later on making it big and successful. Dodge has stayed in a respected group and has even produced several types of bestselling vehicles.

Every Dodge car or truck has the right restoration and parts such as air filter, alternator, antenna, brakes, clutch, distributor, egr valve, emblems, engine mounts, fuel filter, fuel pump, hub caps, ignition parts, ignition switch, interior parts, mass air flow sensor, mirror, oil filter, oxygen sensor, park light, radiator hose, seat belt, serpentine belt, shock absorbers, starter, struts, tail light, timing belt, timing chain, turn signal, water pump, window regulator and wiper blades.

For many decades, Dodge has introduced many good-featured and fabulous vehicle models like the Durango, Dakota, Caravan, Viper, and many others. Even if the models are latest or the old ones, all Dodge-made products are of good quality. Yet, proper care and maintenance of the overall Dodge is still very important to keep it performing well.
