A six-cylinder engine has a 1 5 3 6 2 4 firing order. Technician A says that after cylinder number 1 begins its intake stroke, the crankshaft will have to travel 240° before cylinder number 3 begins its intake stoke. Technician B says that when cylinder number 3 and 4 are at TDC, cylinders number 5 and 2 are at BDC.
Who is correct and explain why?
Technician A
Technician B
Both A and B
Neither A nor B
A cylinder leakage (leak-down) test indicates 30% leakage, and air is heard coming out of the air inlet. Technician A says that this is a normal reading for a slightly worn engine. Technician B says that one or more intake valves are defective.
Carbon deposits on the intake valve or seat may cause the valve not to close properly. Tech a says that the flywheel will be harder to spin when starting the engine. Tech b says that the engine will loose power. Who is correct?

Which of the following statements about the purpose of a cylinder head gasket is not true? It seals intake stroke vacuum, combustion pressure, and the heat of combustion. It prevents coolant leakage and resists rust, corrosion and, in many cases, meters coolant flow. It allows for lateral and vertical head movement as the engine heats and cools. It meters lubricating oil onto the engines cylinder walls.
