How are his answers any more correct than mine?

BTW, I've never seen an OHC motor w/ a timing gear.

The 3.0 Duratech engine has DOHC w/timing gears.

 

[Metalloid]

Well I knew 0 out of 10. I'll stick to computers.

never said it wasnt. besides, quit getting pissy. you know i took most my answers from you 😛

How many would you have gotten had I not posted before you? 😛

And the pressure plate is still part of the clutch. You can't have a clutch assembly with just one disk... wouldn't work too good. 🙂

actually, some cars use a belt clutch now. smooth powerband all the way up to full speed. i forget which it is. same technology as a snowmobile.

oh, and 6 answers i would have gotten. the clutch wasnt one of em. but after seeing it, i decided to go back and take a look at the image.

You said clutch. It is a clutch and pressure plate. 😛

Wow, people aggree with me 😛

thanks, your checks in the mail 😉 j/k. 😉

Technically speaking #3 is not just "timing gears". That appears to be a gear drive. Not the best idea for a street vehicle. A double roller timing chain would be a better street choice.

Only one I didn't know was number 1. It didn't look like the dist cap I have seen before.

Some people like the older gear drives as it lets off a whine.

 

[winr]

1. 8 cylinder distributor cap.
2. Pressure plate and clutch disk.(Borg&beck)
3. Floating gear drive for camshaft.
4. Hi-performance muffler.(looks like like a FlowMaster)
5. Ring and pinion.
6. Holley 4-barrel carb.
7. Intake and exhaust valves.
8. Disk brake pads.
9. Alternator .(looks like FORD)
10. Piston with valve relief's.(looks like small block chevy)

1. Accel - Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth: 1961-72 273-440, single contacts, 1972-89 318-440, points ignitions, replacement cap

2. Exedy Organic Clutch Kit: 08-800

3. Chevrolet: 1957-95 262-400, gear drive
This Edelbrock Accu-Drive gear drive won't stretch or wear out. It provides up to eight degrees of cam timing adjustment in two degree increments, has offset bushings for easy cam indexing, and SAE 8620 steel gears that operate at higher rpms. This Accu-Drive will fit under your stock timing cover and has that "gear whine" sound we all love. Minor machining to the engine block may be required.


4. Flowmaster 52456 SUV Performance Muffler

5. FORD RACING 3.73:1 RING GEAR AND PINION SET

6. Holley Model 4175 Four Barrel Carburetor

7.Chevrolet: 262-400, 2.02 in. head diameter, stock length, intake valve
Milodon's Megaflow competition valves are forged from one piece of 21-4N stainless steel, have swirl polished heads and undercut stems for flow, and tulipped under head areas for weight savings. With hardened stellite tips and 1600 degree F temperature capability, they withstand high valvetrain loads.

8. Honda Power Stop Brake Pads

9. Summit Racing GM: 1973-86, non-metric engines, aluminum, chrome plated, 63 Amp, one wire, alternator

10. Keith Black/Silv-O-Lite Chevrolet: 350, .030 overbore, 3.48 in. stroke, 5.70 in. connecting rod, flat top, hypereutctic, piston



How'd I do 😛

Sluggo really needs to change the name of the pictures when he grabs them from auto part websites. 😀

I hate you, car geeks.

I bet, though, you couldn't tell an ALU from a memory controller from the disk platter 😀

Thats a great reason to ruin your crankshaft. Gear drives are to ensure that that cam's position and hence timing is always correct. No chain slop. It is great for a race car at the strip. The forces this setup places on the crankshaft will eat the thrust bearing and maybe crack the crank causing failure.

All this just so someone can pretend they have supercharger whine.

 

[Evadman]

1) Udder section from a plastic cow.

2) frisbee

3) ball markers for golf

4) comercial water filter

5) golf ball goal driller thingie.

6) nuclear bomb casing

7) 440 stainless anal plugs. his and her set.

8) beta version of Dr. Scholes shoe inserts

9) 5hp engine driven air mover

10) 120mm fan hole filler.

 

Notfred got it right the first time.

anyway, the pressure plate is not part of the clutch. the clutch is the disc with the springs in it, the one with lots of grip on it, the one i always seem to get covered in oil... the pressure plate is not part of the clutch. it comes in a clutch kit, but then again an IDE cable comes with a hard drive. is it a hard drive?

Definition of a clutch ;

Flywheel, pressure plate and friction disc.


I would be impressed if you stumped me.

 

[Howard]

2) Clutch housing and diaphragm spring on left, clutch disc on right.

How exactly does a gear drive induce thrust forces on the crankshaft? 😕 Straight cut gears don't translate thrust forces.
