What are the hazards of idling a new car engine?
1 Answers
Although idling the engine does not cause damage in a short period of time, frequent idling can easily lead to carbon buildup in the vehicle, which is detrimental to the engine's intake and exhaust systems. Engine displacement: Engine displacement is the total working volume of all cylinders in the engine, usually expressed in liters (L). The working volume of a cylinder refers to the gas volume swept by the piston from top dead center to bottom dead center, also known as single-cylinder displacement, which depends on the cylinder bore and piston stroke. Number of engine cylinders: Common numbers of cylinders in car engines include 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 cylinders.
