Welcome! I am Dr Jiulin Teng. Over the years, I have developed insights into a number of issues of popular interest. A photography enthusiast, I have also captured photos of places and people that tell stories. This website is dedicated to my thoughts and my photos.
Modern forced-induction V engines sacrifice serviceability, reliability, and durability for fuel efficiency. Today, I take a different approach and design a high-performance turbocharged V8 that is serviceable and reliable.
BMW has an exceptional rate of rod and main bearing failures and seized engines. I have identified six reasons that explain this phenomenon. I am also ranking the most likely victims of bearing carnage into three tiers.
Mercedes 722.3 is a hydraulically-controlled 4-speed automatic transmission. Today, let us check out not only how its gear train works but also how its hydraulic control functions.
The 722.6 5G-Tronic was arguably the most commercially successful automatic transmission ever produced by Mercedes. Today, let us see how its gear train works and analyze its design.
Transmission adaptation, usually in terms of fill time and pressure, can let us know the condition of an automatic transmission. This article discusses how to interpret the values.
Recently, I dissembled the 7G-Tronic transmission that I had replaced in my 2005 S500 last year. The failure point was the TCC. In this article, let us confirm the severity of the damage and check out how the 722.9 transmission works.
Today, let us go over the design of our flagship mid-engine wedge sports car powered by the 6L 45-deg naturally-aspirated V16 engine that I presented previously. Its codename is Type 6.
