by port fuel injection. Velocity stacks are just visible in the hood scoop. To keep a low hood line, the throttles are a slide-plate design and the lubrication system is dry-sump type, which relocates the oil from underneath the engine to a remote tank. To fit the engine in the bay without taking up

More than a lubricant
. All greases are made by mixing an oil with a thickener, typically soap, clay, silica, or a synthetic material like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Thickeners hold the oil in place. When grease shears -- by a rotating shaft, sliding lever, or rolling-element bearing, for example -- thickeners

Getting more from mobile machines
. In a conventional open-center hydraulic system, as load increases oil escapes via the neutral circuit, which slows the actuator, he explains. And when load changes, actuator speed can change even if the operator is holding the control lever in the same position. With HydrauMind, there is no neutral circuit so
