A pressure differential valve, also known as a pressure reducing valve or pressure regulator, serves the purpose of controlling and regulating fluid (liquid or gas) pressure in a system. The valve operates by maintaining a set pressure on the downstream side, regardless of fluctuations in the upstream pressure.

Yes, shocks should stay compressed. Shocks are used as a suspension device to absorb impact and return the vehicle back to its original ride height. When they become compressed over time, they reduce their ability to absorb bumps in the road or other impacts on the vehicle. This can cause further damage to your suspension system and make for an uncomfortable ride. It is … [Read more...] about Should Shocks Stay Compressed

An oil pump driven by the crankshaft is known as a gerotor or gear type oil pump. This type of pump consists of two gears which are machined in such a way that they mesh together and rotate inside an oval shaped chamber. The inner gear has more teeth than the outer gear, causing it to spin faster so that it creates suction and draws oil from its intake port into the chamber. It … [Read more...] about What Type of Oil Pump is Driven by the Crankshaft

Thicker oil will not necessarily increase oil pressure. The thickness of the engine oil is measured by its viscosity rating, which is usually listed on the bottle as a number followed by "W," such as 10W-30. As this number increases, so does the viscosity or thickness of the oil. However, thicker (higher viscosity) oils are designed to flow slower and provide more protection … [Read more...] about Does Thicker Oil Increase Oil Pressure
