INTRODUCTION
The vehicle propulsion is usually obtained by means of engines, also known as prime
movers, a mechanical devices capable to convert the chemical energy of a fuel into mechanical
energy. The chemical energy of the fuel is firstly converted into heat through combustion, and
then the heat is converted into mechanical work by means of a working medium. This working
medium can be a liquid or a gas. Indeed, the heat produced by combustion increases its pressure
or its specific volume, and thanks to its expansion, mechanical work is obtained.
In internal combustion engines (ICE), the combustion products (e.g. air and fuel)
themselves are used as the working medium, while in external combustion engines, the
combustion products transfer heat to a different working medium by means of heat exchanger.
Moreover, while in ICE the combustion takes place inside the cylinder, in external combustion
engines, the combustion is obtained in a separate chamber, usually called burner.
A four-stroke cycle engine is an internal combustion engine that utilizes four distinct
piston strokes (intake, compression, power, and exhaust) to complete one operating cycle. The
piston make two complete passes in the cylinder to complete one operating cycle. An operating
cycle requires two revolutions of the crankshaft. The four-stroke cycle engine is the most
common type of small engine. A four-stroke cycle engine completes five Strokes in one
operating cycle, including intake, compression, ignition, power, and exhaust Strokes.

engine performance

ENGINE CLASSIFICATION AND OPERATION

2. Type of selected engine.

The inline-four engine or straight-four engine is a four-cylinder internal combustion
engine in which the cylinders are mounted in a straight line or plane along the crankcase. The
single bank of cylinders may be oriented in either a vertical or an inclined plane with all
the pistons driving a common crankshaft. Where it is inclined, it is sometimes called a ‘slant-
four’. In a specification chart or when an abbreviation is used, an inline-four engine is listed
either as I4 or L4.
The inline-four layout is in perfect primary balance and confers a degree of mechanical
simplicity that makes it popular for economy cars. However, it suffers from a secondary
imbalance that causes minor vibrations in smaller engines, and more powerful vibrations as
engine size and power increase. So, the more powerful engines used in larger cars are generally
more complex designs with more than four cylinders.

Engine classification and operation in detail

 Type : 4 Cycle
 Model : K3-VE
 No of cylinder: In-line 4 Cylinder

The engine is a relatively new one developed by Daihatsu Motor, Perodua’s technical
partner and shareholder, which also provided its Terios model. Coded ‘K3-VE’, this 4-cylinder
engine also has a 1.3-litre displacement but is 2 cc more than the old engine (HC-EJ). The K3-
VE is not just the old engine with a new cylinder head but is an entirely new powerplant. Where
the old engine was a fast-revving oversquare type (short-stroke), the new one is an under-square
type (longer stroke) which means better low-end torque. The aluminium cylinder head area is
also very different with an extra camshaft and four valves per cylinder. It now uses a more
durable single chain drive to operate the camshafts, instead of the belt drive before which was
operating a single camshaft.

Measuring tools to measure the engine parameter:

72mm

Bore

Telescopic Gauge
The telescoping bore gauge is an inexpensive and accurate
way of transferring the dimensions of a bore so it can be
measured with another instrument

79.7mm @ Check for specification @ Use dial caliper by

measuring BDC & TDC.

DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, the objectives of the projects have been achieved by the best concept
selected which is to identify how to measure and detect the size of every measurement of
selected products. The combination of cylinder specification and correct measuring system has
managed to enhance the overall calculation for the engine. Complete specification can be tell by
carving the size outside the case or on the product description for viewing purposes. The project
has been completed according to schedule although there are some delays around the detail of
the project cause of unforeseen circumstances. Some aspects of the projects have been
compromised due to time concerns as well. All in all, the project has managed to produce a
desirable outcome, probing for further experimentation works for calculation enhancement.
