The force of the expanding gases
What is stoichiometric?
The perfect mixture of fuel to air (14.7 : 1)
Write 2 ways to describe a rich mixture

List three jobs of the flywheel
1. Foundation of starter ring gear 2. Help with piston move through non-power strokes 3. Foundation for clutch or torque converter 4. Smooth out engine power impulse
Briefly explain how fuel and air enters the cylinder use the following words in your explanation. Vacuum, low-pressure area, and atmospheric pressure
1. Piston move down with valve close a vacuum 2. The intake valve open, and atmospheric pressure rushes in to fill the low pressure area

List four features of good gasoline
Pass exhaust test, burn cleanly, ignites readily, resist freezing or boiling, prevents detonation
What does stoichiometric mean
Perfect ratio of air to fuel (14.7 : 1)
