Automotive Engines Theory and Servicing Ninth Edition Chapter 33 Balancing and Blueprinting

OBJECTIVES (1 OF 2) 33.1 Explain the purpose of balancing an engine. 33.2 Describe the blueprinting process. 33.3 Discuss the importance of combustion chamber volume. 33.4 Discuss the purpose of flow testing cylinder heads.

OBJECTIVES (2 OF 2) 33.5 Discuss the purpose of degreeing the camshaft. 33.6 Explain the procedure of determining proper push rod length. 33.7 Discuss short block blueprinting.

BALANCING AN ENGINE (1 OF 5) For any engine to operate with a minimum amount of vibration, all of the reciprocating parts must be close to the same weight. Production engines use parts that are usually within 3 grams of each other and result in a relatively smooth operating engine.

BALANCING AN ENGINE (2 OF 5) Whenever all rotating and reciprocating parts of an engine are to be balanced, the following components are needed to balance inline engines. Crankshaft Vibration damper (harmonic balancer) Flywheel or flexplate Pressure plate

BALANCING AN ENGINE (3 OF 5) All bolts, lock washers, keys, and spacers needed to assemble the above parts on the crankshaft Connecting rods Pistons Wrist pins STEP 1 Equalize the reciprocating weight, which includes the pistons and rods.

BALANCING AN ENGINE (4 OF 5) STEP 2 Connecting rods have a big end and a small end. The big end of the rod is considered to be part of the rotating weight and the small end part of the reciprocating weight after the rod has been reconditioned. The two ends should be weighed and matched separately.

Figure 33–1 Weighing the big end of a connecting rod on a scale that keeps it perfectly horizontal so that each end can be weighed separately.

BALANCING AN ENGINE (5 OF 5) Bob Weights Balancing Factor Balancing Machines FIGURE 33–3 A crankshaft with bob weights attached as well as the flexplate and the harmonic balancer.

BLUEPRINTING PROCESS (1 OF 2) General Use Questions Blueprinting is the process used to custom fit and select variables to best match a predetermined level of performance. Specific Requirement Needs Block Rotating assembly Breathing system

BLUEPRINTING PROCESS (2 OF 2) Size Matters Boring the block Stroking the engine Parts Manufacturer Help Follow Parts Manufacturer's Recommendations

COMBUSTION CHAMBER VOLUME All cylinders should have the same compression. The technician or engine builder needs to know the combustion chamber volume to accurately calculate the compression ratio. To accurately measure the volume of the combustion chamber, a graduated burette is used with mineral spirits.

Figure 33–7 Setup needed to measure the combustion chamber volume in cubic centimeters (cc).

FLOW TESTING CYLINDER HEADS FIGURE 33–8 Cylinder head setup for flow testing. Note the weak valve springs that are strong enough to keep the valves shut, yet weak enough to permit the flow bench operator to vary the intake valve opening amount. Purpose Used to measure the amount of air in cubic feet per minute that can flow through the valves at various valve openings Flow Rate and Horsepower

Figure 33–9 Modeling clay is installed around the port to duplicate the flow improvement characteristics of an intake manifold.

DEGREEING THE CAMSHAFT Purpose To locate the valve action exactly as the camshaft manufacturers intended Procedure Advanced Cam Timing Retarded Cam Timing

Figure 33–11 A piston stop is used to help determine top dead center.

FIGURE 33–12 The degree wheel indicates where the piston stopped near top dead center. By splitting the difference between the two readings, the true TDC (28 degrees) can be located on the degree wheel.

Figure 33–13 Note the setup required to degree a camshaft Figure 33–13 Note the setup required to degree a camshaft. The pointer, the degree wheel, and the piston stop are used to find exact top dead center.

FIGURE 33–14 Typical valve timing diagram showing the intake lobe centerline at 106 degrees ATDC.

DETERMINING PROPER PUSHROD LENGTH FIGURE 33–15 A side view of a small block Chevrolet engine showing that the rocker arm is contacting the top of the valve stem. A roller-tipped rocker arm will show a more definite line of contact than a stamped steel rocker. Purpose The length of the pushrod is determined by the geometry of the engine when it was originally built When Needed Procedure

Figure 33–16 Checking where on the valve stem the marker has been worn off by the rocker arm, is the method to use to check for proper pushrod length.

FIGURE 33–17 An adjustable pushrod is adjustable for length compared to a conventional stock pushrod.

SHORT BLOCK BLUEPRINTING Determine Engine Use Trial Assembly Before the engine is assembled it should be partially assembled to double check all clearances

Figure 33–2 Removing material from the balancing pad on the small end of the rod to match it to the weight of the small end of the lightest rod being used in the engine.

Figure 33–5 A drill is often used to remove weight from the crankshaft to achieve proper balance.

1 The crankshaft should always be balanced with the flywheel (or flexplate) and harmonic balancer installed.

2 Use a worksheet so that all weights can be measured and recorded.

3 Using a fixture to hold the connecting rod horizontally, measure and record the weight of the big end of the rod.

4 Using a fixture to hold the connecting rod horizontally, measure and record the weight of the small end of the rod.

5 Weigh each piston. Remove some metal from the heaviest pistons to match their weight with the lightest.

6 Weigh and record the weight of each piston pin.

7 Weigh and record the weight of each piston pin locks if used.

8 Weigh and record the weight of the piston rings for each piston.

9 Weigh and record the weight of the rod bearings for each connecting rod.

10 Using the worksheet and plugging the measured values into the balancer, adjust the BOB weight to the desired weight.

11 Install the BOB weights and operate the balancer according to the instructions for the balancer being used.

12 Use a drill and drill the counterweight in the designated location as indicated on the balancer.

SUMMARY (1 OF 2) Proper balancing of the engine is important for smooth operation. Both rotating weight and reciprocating weight are considered during the balancing procedure. Blueprinting means following the exact procedures and specifications for the parts used.

SUMMARY (2 OF 2) Checking combustion chamber volume is used to ensure that all cylinders have the exact same compression ratio. Degreeing a camshaft is done to ensure that the valve events occur at the correct time. Checking for proper pushrod length is important after the machining operations have changed the height of the cylinder head(s).
