Which of the following is used to determine engine size (displacement)?

Cylinder bore, piston stroke, and number of cylinders.

A circle equals 180 degrees.

F

An engine in which the bore is larger than the stroke is an undersquare engine.

F

A larger bore and stroke makes the engine more powerful.

T

Compression ratio is a comparison of cylinder volumes at BDC and TDC

T

Compression stroke pressure is an indicator of engine condition.

T

Engine displacement is the piston displacement times the number of cylinders in the engine.

T

Technician A says as altitude above sea level increases, more air is forced into a normally aspirated engine. Technician B says as altitude above sea level increases, atmospheric pressure decreases. Who is right?

b only

Technician A says that horsepower is actually a measurement of torque. Technician B says that horsepower ratings are used in the United States. Who is right?

b only

Technician A says that horsepower varies with engine speed. Technician B says that torque varies with engine speed. Who is right?

both a and b

Technician A says that piston movement on the intake stroke creates vacuum. Technician B says that manifold vacuum can be used to diagnose some engine problems. Who is right?
