Here's a whole bunch of Newbie questions!
Hope you don't mind
1) What does it mean when someone says a car's engine is 2.4L or 1.6L??? What does this mean? What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a larger or smaller number?
2) What does it mean when a car is 4 cylinders or 6 cylinders etc?
Again what are the advantages and disadvantages of a higher or lower number.
3) When someone says they have a V4 or v6 or v8 etc. engine, I know the numbers corrospond to the number of cylinders, but what does the v mean? While I'm at it, whats the main difference between vtech and a v4,v6,v8 etc?
4) What does it mean to get an engine swap? Is it basically replacing an engine with another type?
5) What's better to have? front wheel drive, or rear wheel drive?
6) If you put an automatic car in neutral, rev the engine really high, then switch it to drive, does it wreck the transmission?
7) What happens if you occassionally to or even a little past the redline in a manuel transmission (not everyday, but just like once in awhile, like once or twice a month)
Thanks for your time!
