Time was when a valve job was done with some valve-grinding compound and a vacuum cup on a stick. But no more. Today's high performance engines require the same machining precision in the valves that ...

A small gap with big importance in the performance and health of an engine - here's everything you need to know.

While the engineering community continues to explore the benefits of electric and hybrid vehicles—i.e., the environmental and renewable energy factors—the automotive market is still dependent on ...

If you have ever been racing down the straightaway at your local track and been blown away, you've probably had time to reflect on the things that you could have done better to go faster. Many times ...

Taking care of your vehicle is vital to ensure it stays in great condition. Your brakes could give you trouble someday, or your suspension could require tinkering, inevitably leading you to an auto ...
