Can you rebuild a car engine?

You scored
38 out of 40 !
Challenge your friends

one I just read too fast, my bad.
one I don't agree with, spoiler text below:

which kind of engine produces more torque, gas or diesel. answer in quiz was diesel because the greater chemical density of diesel fuel provides more power. Now I didn't look it up, maybe that part about the energy density is true. however, torque is related to a lot more than just the energy density of the fuel. gearing, bore x stroke, bore vs stroke for a given displacement, compression ratios, lotsa things. but, I quibble.


have fun with the quiz!
