the Engine Expert 1.0

The Engine Expert used computer simulation to give builders of high performance engines a tool
to develop and test ideas. The program helps match engine components to operating
requirements for various applications and across different kinds of engines. High performance
engine design and development is a jigsaw puzzle involving the weight, strength, and costs of
parts; the availability of critical components; cylinder head and cam characteristics; and the parts
you already have from previous projects. This program can help you identify critical items to
change as you improve your engine in a deliberate, step-by-step order.
Engine Expert helps you with the following engine design decisions:
- Defining cylinder head flow requirements
- Testing trade-offs between airflow, compression ratio, engine speed, and volumetric efficiency
- Finding performance limits defined by cam and cylinder head flow
- Finding engine speed limits imposed by reciprocating or rotating parts failure
- Selecting the most cost-effective parts
- Selecting crankshaft balance factors
- Calculating machine shop specifications
- Selecting Cam, Carburetor, Intake, and Exhaust system specifications
