In a long-running collaboration with GE Aerospace, researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia have been steadily working to improve the performance of high-pressure turbine (HPT) engines ...

The V6 engine still doesn't get the credit it deserves, but these five powerplants prove that the configuration can lead to epic results. Follow us: When the first mass-produced automotive V6 came ...

High-output engines live in a world of brutal cylinder pressures, extreme temperatures and razor-thin safety margins, and the humble piston sits at the center of that storm. When power levels climb, ...

High output engines were once expected to run reliably for hundreds of thousands of miles if owners kept up with basic maintenance. Yet a growing number of modern performance powertrains are suffering ...

Most inline-four engines use a flat-plane crank, meaning two pistons rise while two fall, giving perfect primary balance and even 180-degree firing intervals. Yamaha broke from this in 2009 with the ...
