I don't really remember where the term «high frequency» when it comes to life (probably something Jen Sincero said
in one of her books), but it's the amazing feeling of when you're firing on all
cylinders — which is honestly incredibly hard to do these days with so much going on (work, finding balance, time, etc.) Finding that high frequency is a art form, but
ironing out what the things are that help you get there makes it a little more attainable.

in comparison with cast
iron cylinders.
Speaking about innovations and new features we should also mention cast

in block of
cylinders as well as second phase shifter on the Double - VANOS exhaust valve along with 244/228 duration camshafts, new pistons and connecting rods, intake manifold, renewed cooling system and electronic throttle body.
The motor was denied
in using a cast

The 2.7 - liter EcoBoost uses the same compacted graphite
iron in its
cylinder block as is used
in the 6.7 - liter Power Stroke.
It's rated at 430 hp
in this new Crate Powertrain kit, offering the lightweight advantage of an aluminum
cylinder block, aluminum heads and a composite intake manifold over cast
iron engines
in early cars.
As is common with aluminum blocks, each
cylinder in the engine was lined with cast
iron.
However, from an engineering perspective it was rather conventional, using a 4 -
cylinder all -
iron overhead valve engine
in 1250 or 1500 capacities driving a coil spring suspended live axle at the rear wheels.
A first for a production engine, the
cylinder bores feature a twin - wire - arc - sprayed (TWAS) coating, a new process that results
in impressively low friction and running surfaces that are twice as hard as conventional cast -
iron cylinders.
While the
iron block and forged steel crankshaft were sourced directly from the InTech 5.4 L, the Cobra R powerplant benefited from new, high - flow
cylinder heads that were designed with features developed for Ford's «Rough Rider» off - road racing program, application specific camshafts with higher lift and more duration than other 4 - valve Modular cams, forged I - beam connecting rods sourced from Carillo, forged pistons that provided a 9.6:1 compression ratio
in conjunction with the 52 cc combustion chambers, and a unique high - flow «cross-ram» style aluminum intake manifold.
Cylinder block material varies between aluminum used
in the 2005 + Mustang GT and cast
iron used
in the 2005 + Ford Explorer and the 2006 + Ford Explorer Sport Trac (see below), though the same aluminum heads are used
in all applications.
There's still a single camshaft
in the redesigned cast -
iron block bumping pushrods actuating two valves per combustion chamber

One of the many performance targets was the achievement of a best -
in - class engine power - to - weight ratio, which dictated using aluminum, instead of conventional cast
iron, for the
cylinder block.
Cast
iron was selected as the preferred material for the
cylinder block
in combination with an aluminum bedplate.
The Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS) includes an intermediate lock function on the intake side, while the use of spray - coated and mirror - finish
cylinder bores (versus the
iron liners) provides an estimated 12 percent reduction
in internal friction, which also improves anti-knock performance and reduces engine weight.
The
cylinder block is made of aluminum and weighs 51 pounds less than the cast -
iron block
in the 1998 model.
The block is unique, constructed of compacted graphite
iron (CGI), which offers high strength — especially
in diesel engines where the load is significant between the
cylinder banks of a V - 6 — and light weight.
Compare that to the engine block
in the last generation Dodge Ram with the cast -
iron, inline six -
cylinder Cummins: that engine block tipped the scales at 1,100 pounds.
* The answer: features like Ford - first port fuel and direct injection (PFDI) with two injectors per
cylinder (one
in the air intake port, another inside the
cylinder), plus upper block and
cylinders made of the high - strength compacted graphite
iron used
in the Super Duty ® 6.7 L Power Stroke ® Turbo Diesel.
