Below my black car "manual shift" car, my wife can't borrow it. The white is for my future nurse (my wife). The backgrounds are the trucks of ALT Intermodal Inc.
My Second after my small GEO Metro is Toyota Corolla 2001, then I got the 1984 Toyota Tercel
My first CAR (GEO METRO), it is FREE from a good friend!
Details:
The engine has a cylinder block made of cast aluminum alloy and
has three(3) cylinders arrange in-line.
A cylindrical cast iron sleeve is installed in each cylinder. A monoblock
casting crankshaft is supported by four main bearings which are of the
precision insert type. The three crank pins on the crankshaft are
positioned 120 degrees apart.
This
engine is a water-cooled, in-line three cylinder, four stroke cycle gasoline
unit with a direct acting type single overhead camshaft (SOHC) valve configuration.
The SOHC is mounted over the cylinder head. It is driven from the
crankshaft through a timing belt; no push rods are used in the valve
train system. The camshaft opens and closes the valves directly through
the hydraulic valve lash (HVL) adjusters.
The oil pump is of a trochoid type, and mounted on the crankshaft at the crankshaft pulley side. Engine oil is drawn up through the oil pump strainer, the oil pump and to the oil filter. The filtered engine oil flows into two paths in the cylinder block. In one path, engine oil reaches the crankshaft journal bearings. Engine oil from the crankshaft journal bearings is supplied to the connecting rod bearings by means of intersecting passages drilled in the crankshaft and then injected from a small hole provided on the large end of the connecting rod to lubricate the piston, piston rings and cylinder wall.
