Change the title to just "automotive trivia" and lets have at it.

Question: Everyone knows what a PCV valve is, but a suprising amount of people don't know what PCV stands for. What is it? and no, it is not polyvinylchloride.

 

[godmare]

Positive Crankcase Ventilation. I assume you mean PCV and not PVC.

jack at coke? I think you might have a problem if coke is the object of your, um, "romantic desires"....

 

[Evadman]

jack & coke! jack & coke!

Oh, and it is an air injection reacter (because the air reacts witht he unburt fuel in the catalist )

What does the accumulator in the trans do?

 

[godmare]

well, I was shooting for applying the brake band, but I guess that counts too

If you swap a ford 428 crankshaft and appropriate rods into a ford 390 block, what displacement do you end up with? (I just learned this the other day)

 

[Evadman]

I would only know if I looked it up, so no answer from me

428, right?
Isn't that what they used in the GT350/GT500?

(just guessing)

well, the 428's bore is 4.1 something, and the 390 was 4.05, and the 428 has a longer stroke, so you should be somewhere around 400?

 

[Howard]

370ci?

 

[Evadman]

here is an easy one. 400 crank into a 350 = how many CI? (Chevy)

the general actually makes a crate engine on this now

 

[Howard]

Man, how do you people memorize bores/strokes?
