COMPONENT MENUS

THE BORE, STROKE, AND NUMBER-OF-CYLINDER MENUS

The Block menu is located on the upper-left of the SHORTBLOCK component

category on the Main Program Screen. By opening this menu, you are presented

with a variety of domestic and import “pre-defined” engine shortblock configurations.

If any one of these choices is selected, the appropriate bore, stroke, and number of

cylinders will be loaded in the SHORTBLOCK category. In addition to selecting any

predefined engine configuration, you can directly enter any Block name, Stroke,

Bore, and Number Of Cylinder numeric values (within the acceptable range limits

of the program indicated at the bottom of the screen in the Status Bar).

What’s A SHORTBLOCK

When a particular engine combination is selected from the Block menu, the bore,

stroke, and the number of cylinders are “loaded” into the SHORTBLOCK category.

These values are subsequently used in the simulation. The SHORTBLOCK menu

Block Component Menu

The Block component menu

stroke combinations of

popular domestic and import
