Designed, engineered, tested and backed by General Motors, the 350 combines unyielding heritage with modern precision machining. And that adds up to another generation of service. Proudly machined and assembled in the USA and built in Springfield, Missouri, with globally sourced parts, the 350 engine features cylinder head and block castings, new valve covers, oil pan, and timing chain cover for convenient installation.
A misfit or worn-down intake manifold drastically impacts engine performance and stresses other engine components. In order to help ensure your engine receives the right ratio of fuel and air and preserve your engine, choose a replacement intake manifold and related parts from GM designed and engineered to match your GM vehicle properly.
During a deep-dive presentation of the LT6, the so-called Gemini project's chief engineer, Jordan Lee, had an interesting story to tell about how the team tested its rivals' tech. "We did benchmark a tremendous number of competitors out there," he said. "We looked at McLaren, Porsche, and intently [at] Ferrari."
Lee went on to explain that when development started on the project back in 2014, the team was most interested in what made Maranello's engines tick. "We wanted a Ferrari 458 engine, to take a look at their components and see what they did," he specified. However, straight-up buying a 458 only to extract its engine apparently wasn't on the table that early in the development process. As a result, a more reasonable source for a test motor had to be found. "We were able to buy a wrecked car engine from Poland on Ebay," Lee explained. "We sent them a check for something like $25,000, and we were all pretty pleased and thrilled that the engine actually did show up."
Lee added that the team "didn't know how legitimate" the buying process was at the time. As far as shipping it went, the motor was simply delivered on a pallet, according to Chevy spokesperson Trevor Thompkins. And yes, they had it sent right to their doorstep at the company's Pontiac, Michigan engineering facility. Wonder if that raised any eyebrows in Poland.
From there the crew got into the meat and potatoes of the disassembly process, and Tadge Juechter, the Corvette's chief engineer, said they were surprised at what they found inside. "I remember being amazed at how small their bearings were," Jeuchter said. Just the same, Lee mentioned earlier in the presentation that they made "a lot of improvements in how we went about [our engine]" after looking at the F136 from the exotic Italian supercar.
Thompkins noted specific areas the team wanted to learn from, like how Ferrari protected various ignition and electronic components from the vibrations of the flat-plane crank. "One thing Jordan and team took a closer look at was Ferrari's techniques for ignition coil isolation and securing electrical connectors to avoid fretting problems," he told The Drive. "We came to our own solutions but examining engines like the [F136] was beneficial."
Combine this exhaustive, subjective benchmarking with features engineered to make the new Z06 more joyous to drive, and you'll understand why the hype surrounding the new 8,600-rpm, 670-hp 'Vette is so strong. When it arrives at dealerships later this year for under $100,000, and when we eventually get behind the wheel, it will be a special day.
In the past, outboards were typically conventional two-stroke engines, but manufacturers have since switched to environmentally friendly low-emission engines which include direct fuel injection (DFI) two-stroke and four-stroke designs. Conventional two-stroke engines required oil to be mixed with gasoline to lubricate the engine, while DFI two-stroke engines and four-stroke engines require the oil and gasoline to be separate. Modern low-emission marine outboard engines, in addition to running quieter and smoother, are more environmentally friendly, as the exhaust they emit is virtually smokeless compared to conventional two-strokes.
Two stroke engines use targeted injection that draws oil from a reservoir to oil critical parts of the engine during operation. The oil is consumed with the fuel leaving no residue. Modern low-emission marine outboard engines run quieter and smoother and with virtually smokeless exhaust when compared with engines of fifteen years ago.
Fuel is injected into the incoming air for each cylinder, just prior to the intake valve of the engine. The fuel spray from the injector contacts the hot intake valve, cooling the valve and increases the vaporization of the fuel prior to being introduced into the combustion chamber. A spark plug then ignites the fuel air mixture. Electronic fuel injection results in no fuel priming, quick engine starting, low emissions and fuel consumption, and robust engine performance across the operating range of the engine.
A carburetor is the most basic type of fuel induction system and is a cost effective way to control the fuel delivery to the engine. However, some modern 4-stroke outboard engines outfitted with carburetors are calibrated to meet all applicable exhaust emission standards and offer greatly improved fuel economy over older 2-stroke carbureted engines.
Marine gas engines are automotive engines modified for use on the water. Gasoline stern drive and inboard engines range in horsepower from 135 HP to over 1000 HP per engine and are used in a variety of boats
Inboard engines have the engine and transmission mounted within the hull of the boat, under the deck. A drive shaft extends through the hull and a propeller is mounted on it to drive the engine. Steering is accomplished by using a rudder.
Diesel engines rely on compression to ignite the fuel and power the engine. Diesel engines are widely used in other parts of the world but in the United States, they are typically only found in boats larger than 35 feet due to their improved fuel efficiency weighed against an initial higher cost. In recent years, fuel and emissions regulations from the EPA and EU have revolutionized the diesel engine creating more efficient and cleaner engines.
A good rule is to get the horsepower as possible to the maximum your boat is rated for. And added penalty for too little horsepower is excessive fuel consumption. It seems like a smaller engine should burn less, but typically, it has to work harder to give the performance you expect and it burns more gas doing it. Which horse will have an easier time of carrying a 200-lb rider? A smaller, slimmer horse or a stronger, more powerful horse?

It is no secret that vehicle troubles are less than ideal. The worst-case scenario for many drivers is finding themselves with a blown engine. So can your engine problems be repaired? Is an engine replacement worth it? Or should you invest in a new vehicle? The mechanics at Chapel Hill Tire are here to answer all of your engine replacement questions.
Maintenance services are preventative measures meant to protect your engine. At the first signs of vehicle trouble, you may be able to address your engine concerns with maintenance instead of repairs. The key here is to get your engine in the shop before it becomes damaged. Maintenance solutions, like engine fluid flushes, will also depend on the source of your engine problems and how severe the problem has become.
Maintenance can occasionally address early-stage engine concerns before they develop into serious issues. However, it is best to keep up with routine automotive maintenance to avoid any close encounters with engine damage.
Once your engine troubles have progressed into damage, you will begin to explore repair options. If your engine damage is contained to a single part or system, you may be able to achieve a repair by addressing the source of these issues. In a best-case scenario, you may simply need a replacement belt or hose. Larger systems, such as with the transmission or radiator, will be more costly to replace, but they are still less expensive than a new vehicle or an entire engine replacement.
Remanufactured engines are engines that have been previously repaired and restored. They offer an alternative solution to both new engine installations and vehicle replacements. Remanufactured engines are more affordable than new engines while still offering a reliable solution to your vehicle problems.
If you are wary about installing a remanufactured engine, consider partnering with a mechanic that offers a service warranty. Chapel Hill Tire, for example, extends our 3-year/36,000-mile service warranty to remanufactured engines to give drivers peace of mind and protection.
The local mechanics at Chapel Hill Tire install both new and remanufactured engines. We also have FREE loaner vehicles to keep you on the go while we take care of your vehicle.
