It's called an ENGINE...

settled i think?

 

Who really gives a rat's A$$ what it's called as long as it makes my rod git down the road.

 

why do people say use your "search engine" and how about the term powerpack??

 

You must have a running hot rod to reply to this thread....that should just about kill it.

 

Don't forget:

Goose - geese

 

Its an engine goddamnit,and furthermore the thing that slides into the rear of your transmission is a Yoke and not a YOLK.....
A carburetor is not a Carbonator
A Tranny is not a real girl
A distributor is not a dizzy either.

 

and why are drivers called motorist not engineers?

 

Jesus, not this again.......its like Deja vu all over again..........

 

I was holding my tongue, as I KNEW Squirrel would be all over this one!!!...Ken

 

Geeez, I told myself NOT to get caught up in this but I DID!!!!!DAM-IT, or is that DAM N- IT!!!!!

 

On the job we often refer to a locomotive as the "motor", of course our "motors" have four axles, each with an electric propulsion motor (which double as generators at times to provide extra braking power), a 4200 horsepower diesel (as long or longer than most peoples cars) driving a generator (THE POWER PLANT), and a 600 HP diesel powered genset to provide 440 volt electricity to power everything else not related to propulsion on the train set and the locomotive. If the term works for the HOGHEAD in reference to the diesel or the locomotive, who am I to argue.

 

the swedish word for engine is ... motor aswell as motor is referd as motor
so we don't have to argue over it at all here in sweden
