There is a strong connection
between breathing and pelvic floor function; while breathing in, the pelvic floor relaxes, and while breathing out, the pelvic floor contracts — similar to a
piston.
The primary difference
between the Sunny Folding Climber Stepper and the other vertical climbers we've already gone through is the fact that the Sunny (for short) uses pneumatic
pistons to achieve the movement required to exercise on the machine, as opposed to the MaxiClimber and VersaClimber which both use cables.
I'll have to get the picture from behind a little later, but I shined a light down the shaft before I replaced the spark plug and it looks like the
piston is scratched on the top, and it somehow either made contact with the spark plug, or something got in
between the two and damaged both.
I shined a light down the shaft where I pulled the spark plug, and it looked like the
piston had hit the spark plug from underneath, or something got in
between the two and damaged both.
Then it is mounted into its
piston groove with a spring or coil ring in
between the parts.
HumbleMechanic: what's the difference in terms of wear and tear
between driving in S mode and driving in D mode on a 2.0 TSI, especially regarding
pistons and valve wear.
So what will happen is that those parts are likely to remain in the cylinder and may get caught
between the top of the
piston and the head and / or valves.
Eventually you'll put in enough oil that it might hydrolock the
pistons from the underside or at least prevent them from moving faster than a very slow maximum speed as it pushes the oil up into passages
between the head and the valve cover.
VC - T, for Variable Compression - Turbocharged, can raise or lower the stroke of the
pistons allowing the compression ratio to vary
between 8:1 and 14:1 — providing performance benefits at low compression and efficiency improvements at high compression.
There are many possibilities but one is that the timing gear has failed in some way, or the timing belt has slipped allowing contact
between the valves and
pistons.
You'll still want to know if any of your parts are within tolerance, especially the clearance
between bore and

The difference
between a trembler coil and a modern ignition coil is that in a modern coil the primary current is broken only once by the contact breaker for each cycle of the

There are 2 points in the engine's cycle when the
piston is at TDC: The transition
between compression / combustion, and the transition
between exhaust / intake.
I think a reason why overfilling a
piston engine mightn't be as bad as overfilling a wankel engine is that in a
piston engine there is a much larger distance
between where crank is whipping up oil and the vents which are often both in the head, where as a rotary engine seems to have much smaller volume (timing gear inside of the rotor) where extra oil can be whipped around with blow - by gasses furiously blowing by.
Your are hearing your
piston - Air cooled motors have extra
piston clearance
between the cylinder and the
piston due to increased expansion due to more heat.
The clearance volume is cut out in the
