Which bearing is least likely to be a roller or ball bearing?

Master rod bearing (radial engine)

On which strokes are both valves on a four-stroke cycle reciprocating aircraft engine open?

Exhaust and intake

To reduce the power output of an engine equipped with a constant-speed propeller and operating near maximum BMEP, the

Before attempting to start a radial engine that has been shut down for more than 30 minutes,

If the crankshaft run out readings on the dial indicator are plus .002 inch and minus .003 inch, the run out is

.005 inch

Full-floating piston pins are those which allow motion between the pin and

both the piston and the small end of the connecting rod

During overhaul, the disassembled parts of an engine are usually degreased with some form of mineral spirits solvent rather than water-mixed degreasers primarily because

water-mixed degreaser residues may cause engine oil contamination in the overhauled engine.

When does valve overlap occur in the operation of an aircraft reciprocating engine?

At the end of the exhaust stroke and the beginning of the intake stroke

Which statement is correct regarding engine crankshafts?

Moveable counterweights serve to reduce the torsional vibrations in an aircraft reciprocating engine.

The volume of a cylinder equals 70 cubic inches when the piston is at bottom center. When the piston is at the top of the cylinder, the volume equals 10 cubic inches. What is the compression ratio?

7:1

Which of the following is most likely to occur if an overhead valve engine is operated with inadequate valve clearances?

The valves will not seat positively during start and engine warm up

If metallic particles are found in the oil filter during an inspection,

the cause should be identified and corrected before the aircraft is released for flight

intake, compression, ignition, power, exhaust.

an excessively lean mixture.

three

Cam-ground pistons are installed in some aircraft engines to

provide a better fit at operating temperatures

Reduced valve operating temperatures.

The operating temperature valve clearance of a radial engine as compared to cold valve clearance is

greater

When cleaning aluminum and magnesium engine parts, it is inadvisable to soak them in solutions containing soap because

some of the soap will become impregnated in the surface of the material and subsequently cause engine oil contamination and foaming.

Using the following information, determine how many degrees the crankshaft will rotate with both the intake and exhaust valves seated. Intake opens 15°: BTDC. Exhaust opens 700: BBDC. Intake closes 45°: ABDC. Exhaust closes 10°: ATDC.

245°

Timing disk

An aircraft reciprocating engine using hydraulic valve lifters is observed to have no clearance in its valve-operating mechanism after the minimum inlet oil and cylinder head temperatures for takeoff have been reached. When can this condition be expected?

During normal operation

Compression ratio is the ratio between the

cylinder volume with piston at bottom dead center and at top dead center

If fuel/air ratio is proper and ignition timing is correct, the combustion process should be completed

just after top center at the beginning of the power stroke.

If an engine operates with a low oil pressure and a high oil temperature, the problem may be caused by a

leaking oil dilution valve

What is likely to occur if a reciprocating engine is operated at high power settings before it is properly warmed up?

Oil starvation of bearings and other parts.

What is the basic operational sequence for reducing the power output of an engine equipped with a constant-speed propeller?

Reduce the manifold pressure, then the RPM.

Which of the following will be caused by excessive valve clearance of a cylinder on a reciprocating aircraft engine?

Reduced valve overlap period.

If the intake valve is opened too early in the cycle of operation of a four stroke cycle engine, it may result in

backfiring into the induction system.

(1) Pre-ignition is caused by improper ignition timing. (2) Detonation occurs when an area of the combustion chamber becomes incandescent and ignites the fuel/air mixture in advance of normal timed ignition. Regarding the above statements,

neither No. 1 nor No. 2 is true.

If an engine cylinder is to be removed, at what position in the cylinder should the piston be?

Top dead center

During overhaul, reciprocating engine exhaust valves are checked for stretch

with a contour or radius gauge

The actual power delivered to the propeller of an aircraft engine is called

brake horsepower

If an engine with a stroke of 6 inches is operated at 2, 000 RPM, the piston movement within the cylinder will be

at maximum velocity 90° after TDC

If the oil pressure gauge fluctuates over a wide range from zero to normal operating pressure, the most likely cause is

low oil supply

What is the purpose of the safety circlet installed on some valve stems?

To prevent valves from falling into the combustion chamber.

If the oil pressure of a cold engine is higher than at normal operating temperatures, the

engines lubrication system is probably operating normally.

(1) Cast iron piston rings may be used in chrome-plated cylinders. (2) Chrome-plated rings may be used in plain steel cylinders. Regarding the above statements,

both No. 1 and No. 2 are true
