The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor measures the temperature of the engine's coolant and sends this information to the Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The ECM/PCM uses this information to adjust fuel mixture, ignition timing, and much more @dannysengineportal

Engine bearing crush ensures a tight, secure fit of engine bearings within their housings, preventing movement and promoting efficient heat transfer. It also helps compensate for bore distortions and maximizes contact between the bearing and housing. @dannysengineportal

Most V6 GM engines have different length Exhaust and Intake pushrods. So, to avoid mixing them up use this helpful phrase. "It's been a long exhausting day" Because, the exhaust pushrods are longer than the intake. @dannysengineportal

The timing belt's primary function in an engine is to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring that the engine's valves open and close at the precise times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes. @dannysengineportal

Valve springs can break due to various factors including fatigue, overloading, corrosion, temperature extremes, improper installation, and lack of regular maintenance, as well as issues like valve spring surge, which can lead to catastrophic engine failure. @dannysengineportal

It is common for (EGR) valves to become stuck. But, there is a big difference between being, stuck open or closed. @dannysengineportal

Fuel injectors are critical for delivering the right amount of fuel to the engine, at the right time, and in a precise spray pattern. Unlike older carburetors, modern fuel injectors use electronic controls to optimize the fuel-air mixture for various engine conditions, from idling to high speeds.

When the oxygen sensor fails, the ECM cannot adjust the air-fuel ratio correctly. This can lead to reduced performance, poor fuel efficiency, and increased pollution that can cause a failed smog check, among other things. @dannysengineportal

The (ECM) continuously monitors engine parameters by receiving data from various sensors (e.g., oxygen sensors, crankshaft position sensors, coolant temperature sensors) throughout the vehicle. @dannysengineportal

Engine bearings should operate with, the least amount of engine bearing clearance as possible. So, tighter oil clearances, produce less peak loading on the bearings. As a result, the engine runs smoother, with less vibration. @dannysengineportal.bsky.social dannysengineportal.com/engine-beari...
