What are the disadvantages of a horizontally opposed engine?
1 Answers
The horizontally opposed structure is relatively complex, and there are issues such as oil lubrication that are difficult to resolve. Due to gravity, the horizontally positioned cylinders cause oil to flow to the bottom, leaving one side of the cylinders inadequately lubricated. The high-precision manufacturing requirements also lead to higher maintenance costs. Additionally, the wider engine body makes it less favorable for layout. Introduction to automotive engines: 1. The automotive engine is the device that provides power to the vehicle, serving as the heart of the car and determining its power, fuel efficiency, stability, and environmental friendliness. 2. Depending on the power source, automotive engines can be categorized into diesel engines, gasoline engines, electric vehicle motors, and hybrid engines, among others.
