How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?

We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :

Valve overlap occurs when the piston nears TDC between the exhaust event and the intake event.

When the piston is at approximately 106 degrees past TDC intake stroke, the intake lobe will be straight up and the intake valve will be fully open. Cams will come with a recommended centerline position from the manufacture.

Located in the “top end” of an engine, the camshaft is a critical part of the valve train that allows air and fuel to enter the combustion chamber (the space above a piston) and exhaust gases out after they burn.

As the piston reaches TDC, the air/fuel mixture burns, increasing the pressure inside the cylinder. This forces the piston back down the cylinder. Near BDC, the exhaust valve starts to open.

There are a couple different ways to calculate the overlap of the cam. 1) The easiest way is to add the intake opening times to the exhaust closing time. Seat to seat times (advertised duration) must be used. . 050″ durations or timings will not give the correct overlap.

OVERLAP. Overlap is the angle in crankshaft degrees that both the intake and exhaust valves are open. This occurs at the end of the exhaust stroke and the beginning of the intake stroke. Increasing lift duration and/or decreasing lobe separation increases overlap.

Timing in the Camshaft. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise to 90 degrees after TDC. This will make sure all the pistons are half way down the bore. Now position the dial gauge so that it can read the lift of the inlet valve of number 1 cylinder from the top of the valve retainer (see left).

Typically, a head with a high percentage can use a cam with more closely matched intake and exhaust lobe figures. Conversely, a head with a poor ratio between the intake and exhaust flow will benefit from more exhaust duration to evacuate the burned gases.

There are two stages: rough grind, and finish grind. For cast cams, this process is very quick. For non-CNC ground cams, the blank gets loaded into the grinding lathe for the rough work. It is just like it sounds- the lathe grinds the profile into the lobes of the cam.

A camshaft is a shaft that contains a row of pointed cams, in order to convert rotational motion to reciprocating motion. Camshafts are used in piston engines (to operate the intake and exhaust valves), mechanically controlled ignition systems and early electric motor speed controllers.

The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle. The mitral valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle. The pulmonary valve separates the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. The aortic valve separates the left ventricle and aorta.

Take your digital caliper and measure the smallest diameter on the cam. This is called the base circle. This cam measured at 1.10 inches and 87 thousandths. The next value you will need is the largest diameter on the cam, the lobe part, which is called the base circle and lobe lift.

To maintain sufficient idle and vacuum qualities, the cam tech recommends the cam be ground on, say, 112-degree LCA, which gives an overlap of 66 degrees. For a typical performance-headed 350, the optimal LCA is usually 108 degrees.

Two major types of camshafts exist: flat tappet and roller. Within those categories are two options: solid or hydraulic—four variations in all. Tappets ride against the camshaft lobes—their movements open and close the valves.

The camshaft is connected via the timing chain and sprockets at a 1:2 ratio to the crankshaft and therefore revolves once for every two turns of the crank.

In an internal combustion engine, the cylinder head (often abbreviated to simply “head”) sits above the cylinders and forms the roof of the combustion chamber.

To adjust the valve clearances, use a spanner or a socket wrench on the crankshaft-pulley bolt. Turn the engine in its normal direction of rotation until No. 1 piston is at the top dead centre ( TDC ) of the compression stroke .

A piston valve is connected to the piston and located at the end of the cylinder on the side opposite the air intake. Piston valves are important because they help to ensure that the air going into the engine is at the correct pressure.

Most Stage 1 type modifications are typically in the +10-15% power increase over stock. Stage 2: this is typically referred to an engine with a performance cam upgrade as well as the other components within a Stage 1 combination. A typical Stage 2 has generally +20-25% more HP than stock.

OVERLAP. As the engine cycles, there is a period when both the intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time. This valve timing is known as “overlap.” Think of this as the exhaust and intake cycles overlapping each other.

I have a Murray 6.0 hp 20 inch push lawn mower. How much oil do I put in when changing oil.

ANSWER : If there is a dip stick add some oil check the level till you get to the full mark. It should take a little more than a quart. If there is no dip stick then there is an oil fill plug down low on the engine. Fill slowly until the oil reaches the threads in the engine housing (almost overflowing). Be sure to replace the plug or you will have oil everywhere when you start it.

Don’t just dump the oil in, check the level as you go!

Will not start turns over has spark the engine was running and killed and will not restart

ANSWER : If you have good fuel to the plug and a good spark and it still does not start it could be a timing issue, check the flywheel key has not sheared.
