Engines:
New for 2007, the
5.7L comes only with 6-speed auto. Unusual engines with dual
overhead cams and variable cam timing on both the intake and
exhaust. These engine's more advanced Dual VVT-i controls valve
timing and overlap on both the intake and exhaust valves, which also
helps optimize power, fuel efficiency and emissions. The 2007 Tundra
offers three engines. In Regular and Double Cab models, a standard
4.0-liter V6 produces 236 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 266 lb.-ft. of
peak torque at 4,000 rpm. The mid-grade option for these models –
and standard for the CrewMax models – is the proven Tundra's
4.7-liter i-Force V8 producing 271 horsepower at 5,400 rpm and 313
lb.-ft. of peak torque at 3,400 rpm. The i-Force 5.7L V8 has an
aluminum cylinder block and DOHC heads. The all-new 5.7-liter i-Force
V8 is available in every model. The 5.7L uses a long-stroke (stroke
dimension of 4.02 in. is more than the bore width of 3.70 in.).
Producing 381 horsepower at 5,600 rpm, and 401 lb.-ft of peak torque
at 3,600 rpm.

how to keep you covered! You hear me complaining about oil capacity
on this website constantly. Now I found a way to add 2 or 3 more quarts of
oil to your tranny and differential. The more oil, the more cooling ability,
the longer your truck will stay out of the shop and on the road! Truck

Now this is an Engine, of course it's a
diesel
The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C
turbocharged two-stroke diesel
engine is the most powerful and
most efficient prime-mover in
the world today. The Aioi Works
of Japan's Diesel United, Ltd
built the first engines and is
where some of these pictures
were taken.
It is available in 6 through 14
cylinder versions, all are
inline engines. These engines
were designed primarily for very
large container ships. Ship
owners like a single
engine/single propeller design
and the new generation of larger
container ships needed a bigger
engine to propel them.
The cylinder bore is just under
38" and the stroke is just over
98". Each cylinder displaces
111,143 cubic inches (1820
liters) and produces 7780
horsepower. Total displacement
comes out to 1,556,002 cubic
inches (25,480 liters) for the
fourteen cylinder version.
Some facts on the 14
cylinder version:
Total engine weight:
2300 tons (The crankshaft
alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length:
89 feet
Height:
44 feet
Maximum power:
108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque:
5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm
Fuel consumption at maximum
power is 0.278 lbs per hp per
hour (Brake Specific Fuel
Consumption). Fuel consumption
at maximum economy is 0.260
lbs/hp/hour. At maximum economy
the engine exceeds 50% thermal
efficiency. That is, more than
50% of the energy in the fuel in
converted to motion. For comparison, most
automotive and small aircraft
engines have BSFC figures in the
0.40-0.60 lbs/hp/hr range and
25-30% thermal efficiency range.
Even at it's most efficient
power setting, the big 14
consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy
fuel oil per hour.
A
cross section of the RTA96C:
The internals of this engine are a
bit different than most automotive
engines. The top of the connecting rod is
not attached directly to the piston.
The top of the connecting rod
attaches to a "crosshead" which
rides in guide channels. A long
piston rod then connects the
crosshead to the piston. I assume this is done so the the
sideways forces produced by the
connecting rod are absorbed by the
crosshead and not by the piston.
Those sideways forces are what
makes the cylinders in an auto
engine get oval-shaped over time.
Installing the "thin-shell"
bearings. Crank & rod journals
are 38" in diameter and 16"
wide:
The
crank sitting in the block (also
known as a "gondola-style"
bedplate). This is a 10
cylinder version. Note the steps by each crank
throw that lead down into the
crankcase:
A
piston & piston rod assembly.
The piston is at the top. The
large square plate at the bottom
is where the whole assembly
attaches to the crosshead:
Some pistons:
And some piston rods:
The "spikes" on the
piston rods are hollow tubes
that go into the holes you
can see on the bottom of the
pistons (left picture) and
inject oil into the inside
of the piston which keeps
the top of the piston from
overheating. Some
high-performance auto
engines have a similar
feature where an oil
squirter nozzle squirts oil
onto the bottom of the
piston.

version). Cylinder liners are
