Talk:BMW M62

Untitled

Does anyone have BMW's dyno chart results for these engines? I have them for many of their newer engines but I haven't been able to track one down for any of these.

hm, it seems the 4.8 litre version is missing that was employed in the late first generation BMW X5...

oh, that one belongs to the N62 engines, sorry about that

Morgan Aero 8 Engine

Does anyone know what engine is used in the Morgan Aero 8? I see that it was listed under the M62TUB44 section, but without a source. Each of the other listed articles list the engine as being used, but the Morgan article is silent on the issue. This engine could be a M62 or an N62. Can anyone back up what engine is used??

Is Nikasil/Alusil a Liner?

Should these process be referred to as cylinder liners or as a surface treatment? I am conflicted on this, when most readers think of cylinder liners they think of thick cast iron ones, however the silicon based process make what is effectively a molecular scale liner. What do you think? Toasted Meter (talk) 10:49, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Yes, although they perform the same function as liners, they are quite different objects. Personally I think either "liner" or "coating" would be ok. For example here are some descriptions of the R35's plasma liners:1, 2, 3. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 21:19, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

That sounds good, I think I will change it to coating so as to avoid confusion. And the plasma deposited cylinder coating is interesting. Toasted Meter (talk) 21:26, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your recent improvements. I didn't realise that Alusil was a different technique, so thanks for fixing that up. Cheers, 1292simon (talk) 10:43, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
