How to use a fire extinguisher
Follow PASS acronym Pull out pin that locks handle at top of the fire extinguisher to prevent accidental use. Carry fire extinguisher in one hand, and use other hand to: Aim nozzle at base of fire. Stand about 8-12 feet (2.4-3.7 m) away from fire, and Squeeze handle to discharge fire extinguisher. Remember that if you release the handle on the fire extinguisher, it will stop discharging. Sweep nozzle from side to side at base of fire. Continue to watch the fire. Although it may appear to be extinguished, it may suddenly reignite. Portable fire extinguishers only operate for about 10-25 seconds before they are empty. So use them effectively

Oil control rings prevent excessive oil from working UP INTO the combustion chambers.
Oil flow maintains an oil cushion between the crankshaft and the bearing as the engine is operating. But when the engine is first started up, especially when it is cold, it takes a few seconds to pump oil to the bearings, which can result in the crankshaft touching the bearing surface for a short time. The oil flow also carries away heat and particles that could cause wear. If the cushion of oil did not exist, the bearing would overheat and fail. Engine manufacturers specify the clearance required between the bearing material and the crankshaft.
Oil flow maintains an oil cushion between the crankshaft and the bearing as the engine is operating. But when the engine is first started up, especially when it is cold, it takes a few seconds to pump oil to the bearings, which can result in the crankshaft touching the bearing surface for a short time. The oil flow also carries away heat and particles that could cause wear. If the cushion of oil did not exist, the bearing would overheat and fail. Engine manufacturers specify the clearance required between the bearing material and the crankshaft.
Oil flows through an oil gallery in the cylinder block. Each main bearing receives its own oil under pressure from the oil hole in the main bearing saddl |, which connects directly to the oil gallery. Some top bearing inserts have a groove around the middle. The groove provides a space for oil to flow around the journal, which helps provide more lubrication for the bearing. The grooved bearing also helps extend the time that the rod bearing receives pressurized oil, as the oil hole in the crankshaft lines up to the bearing groove for half of the rotation of the crankshaft. Passageways drilled in the crankshaft carry oil from the main bearing journals to the rod journals

Why are extra axles on vehicles common? How many extra axles would a vehicle have?
On commercial vehicles, the load carried on one axle is limited by law A heavy vehicle may have six wheels (3 axles) to support it, but only four wheels (two axles) actually driving it / the extra axle for weight support is sometimes called the lazy axle /this is called a 6*2 vehicle, but if the lazy axle is changed to a drive axle, it becomes a 6*4 vehicle / adding an extra steering axle allows even more weight to be carried in some heavy transport vehicles

Portable electric tools (general)
Ones that operate at 240 volts are often sources of serious shock and burn accidents - be particularly careful / Always inspect cord for damage and check the security of attached plug before connecting item to power supply / Use 110-volt or lower voltage tools if available All electric tools must be equipped with a ground prong or be double insulated - don't use of not Never use any high-voltage tool in a wet environment

PCM
PCM also must know oil temperature to ensure oil viscosity isn't too thick or thin. Based on input from oil temp. sensor, the PCM either allows or disables variable valve timing; the viscosity of oil must be correct for accurate valve timing. The PCM must know the amount of engine load to determine the need for an advance or retard of cam timing / relies on feedback to ensure that the cams are rotating as commanded
cam timing solenoid
PCM is delivered to cam timing solenoid / cam solenoid allows oil pressure to move into cam phaser. / solenoid is turned on and off with a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal / The longer solenoid device is turned off, the less it opens; the longer it's turned on, the more it opens, so the solenoid can regulate amount, and direction, of oil flow to cam phaser to alter camshaft/valve timing
To calculate engine load...
PCM primarily uses following inputs mass airflow sensor or manifold absolute pressure sensor / throttle ar temp. sensor / engine coolant temp. sensor / crankshaft position sensor

The clearance between the crankshaft journal and the bearings is crucial and must be within the manufacturer's specifications. If there is too little clearance, the oil will not be able to flow through the clearance in the bearing, which can cause the bearing material to overheat and possibly to seize the journal. If the clearance is too large, the oil pressure will be lowered, and the oil will be squished out of the clearance in the bearing, which allows the journal to come into direct contact with the bearing, creating a knocking noise and accelerated wear.

You might be wondering why bearings would be called undersized when in reality they are thicker than a standard-sized bearing. The reason is that the crankshaft journal is typically machined to give it a new wear surface; as a result, the journal becomes undersized. The matching bearings are then referred to as undersized bearings.

Each plunger used to push lobes 1 direction.
