Buy Dependable Used Brake Master Cylinders

What is a brake master cylinder?

The brake master brake cylinder is a controlling device converting the force applied by the foot to hydraulic pressure in automotive engineering.

Why is it needed?

  • It is the key component that stops your vehicle.
  • The horizontal master cylinder lets no compressed air enters the system.
  • It feeds the system with sufficient fluid volume.
  • The brake pedal manages two pistons inside the master cylinder.
  • They push the brake fluid down their separate lines sending equal pressure to the four wheels. 
  • The two springs placed behind the pedal release it.
  • The pads are drawn back from the brake disk. 

Signs of a filing master brake cylinder

  • The color of the brake fluid turns dark brown/black.
  • The fluid smells pungent or feels spongy.
  • Leakage contaminates the fluid.

Why trust Big Mouth Direct for a used brake master cylinder?

What to know before you buy a used car engine?

 


  • The life of any engine whether new or used for sale adds up to a total of 8-9 years in miles, 150.000 – 170.000.
  • In some modern engines, the longevity can stretch up to 10 years or 20,000 miles.
  • Therefore, if we calculate the average lifespan to be 9 years, in a year if your automobile runs 18,888.89 miles you will come to the straight sum of 9 years. Anything beyond or less than this will shorten or lengthen the lifespan of your engine. 

Another way to lengthen the engine lifespan is correct driving. Following these correct methods of maintenance will ensure the longevity of your engine.

How to extend the engine life with proper maintenance of the used engine?

  • Instead of washing out the dust on the engine with water use pressurized air or degreaser on a microfiber cloth to wipe the excess moisture. Using water on the engine is not safe as it exposes the engine to rust and the electronics to a greater malfunctioning risk. 
  • Go easy on the acceleration for 2-3km when you start the engine until it reaches a working temperature. GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) is a modern technology that uses a rich mixture acting as a backing until the engine warms up. It is advisable to be gradual for the engine block to endure less warpage resulting in less damage. 
  • Remember to change the engine oil, transmission oil, brake fluid replacement should be made according to the manufacturing instructions. 
  • The engine oil prevents rust and cools the engine by acting as a sealant. They also stop carbon buildup and sludge. These fluids have life and lose their potential after a period and need to be changed with fresh oil. A good engine flush must be used before the oil is replaced. 
  • If the engine oil level goes lower than desirable, then it should be replaced. A regular inspection is therefore necessary. Replace the air filters as and when required. 
  • The engine condition is determined by the Km driven by the engine, engine revs are responsible for the wear and tear in the engine. In most cars, the gear change indicators show the gear that you should be driving in. In manual gear, whenever you change speed, make sure you step down the gear. This increases fuel efficiency and keeps the engine life extended.

Buying your engine from a fixed online address is safe. The online store is reliable and will stands by its quality used engines until the customer is fully satisfied.

What is the best place to buy used engines?

  • The quality used engines should be bought from an online store that assures a 30-days warranty on engines for sale
  • All engines for sale should be thoroughly checked and tested by qualified technicians.
  • A responsible online store would advise you to buy assembled engines as they are safer. The quality used engines come with an uncut harness, sensors are intact, turbocharged with its original charge pipes, injectors, and fuel rails. 
  • The alternator, AC compressor, starter power steering pump are checked before you make the final cash transaction.
  • A quality used engine store advice replacing parts made of rubber prone to wear and tear. Like the intake hose as you do not want it causing trouble after the shortest time of purchase.  
  • In turbo engines, you need to tick off more things than from a naturally aspirated engine. 
  • Turbo engines come with a mass airflow (MAF) sensor and manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor. These two are vital when the engine starts. Know before you shop for an engine for sale. Engines like 2JZ-GTE turbo requires these parts, quality used engine shops make you aware of their presence before you go ahead with your purchase. 
  • Quality used engine shops perform an oil analysis to test the engine condition. 
  • A lot is revealed by removing the oil filter cap. Black carbon deposit beneath the cap shows poor maintenance while a white creamy substance indicates a grave problem. These are fully tested by quality used engine technicians. 
  • They check the dipstick, muddy slush indicated low maintenance over a long period. Black oil condition shows that the oil is long overdue. Brown indicates an oil change, white or mocha-colored residue shows that the head gasket has blown, and the leaking coolant is entering the cylinder and mixing with the oil. They perform this test and reject the engine that fails the test. 
  • A borescopes inspection is performed for the internal health of your engine without disassembling it to determine if the used engine for sale is worth trusting. 
  • The greater mileage the engine covers, it is prone to mechanical malfunction. The piston rings start failing with increased blow-by depositing unburnt oil in the crankcase. The oil is diluted and the bearing, pistons, the cylinder walls gouging/scoring are revealed clearly if looked through a borescope monitor. 
  • The spark plug is another giveaway. Tips with tan and brown color reveal that the engine is well-tuned. If the color is black or ashy it is a sign that the air-fuel ratio (AFR) is overly rich. For lean ARF the color would be light tan to almost white. 
  • Oil on the plug or wetness are signs of problems with the piston ring. These are eliminated. 
  • Damaged insulation can lead to molten and missing electrodes. These are signs of serious concern and can lead to serious piston failure. 
  • Turbo engine failures are rare but happen from oil failures, with time they experience a thrust bearing failure from decreased oil pressure and lack of proper sealing. Whether the selected turbo used engines for sale have a broken compressor, damaged wheels, or foreign particles ingested in the inlet blades which happens if the air filter is not used, are seriously considered by the quality used engine store.
  • A compression tester is mostly used by qualified technicians in the online used engine for sale stores. Determining the engine's internal health this test is done before the leak test. Many variables are not fully revealed by this test, components like a corroded starter cable (hot starter), weak battery are reasons why an engine cranks slow down, air density valve lash is all revealed by the reading. Compression on the cold engine is less than in warm engines.  
  • With detailed testing, the quality used engine is separated from the ones that show even the slightest defect.

Knowledge on Exhaust Manifold For A Wiser Purchase

The exhaust manifold is present in automotive engines. It accumulates the exhaust gases from the multiple cylinders into one pipe.  

Made from either stainless steel or cast-iron materials, the gas is transmitted to the exhaust pipe. The headers from each cylinder  

converge in the collector tube or zoomie headers.

The headers are either made of mild steel or stainless steel. They are coated with ceramic finish, heat resistant paint or are chrome plated. 

What is the function of the exhaust manifold?

Exhaust manifolds decrease low resistance and increase the engine's volumetric efficiency.  

Helps the engine to gain its power output. 

The process is governed by gas laws.  


How does savaging work?

  • When the exhaust stroke of the engine starts the piston is pushed up the cylinder bore minimizing the chamber volume. 
  • The exhaust valve on opening diverges the high-pressure exhaust gas into the header or the exhaust manifold. 
  • A huge pressure difference is created from within the exhaust in the combustion chamber and the atmospheric pressure outside the exhaust system. 
  • With a balance and equalization of the pressures both within the combustion chamber and the atmosphere the pressure also lowers the exhaust velocity to a medium.
  • The residual exhaust gas settles in the tail component in low pressure and in the earliest stages compares with the favorable atmospheric pressure. 
  • However, the sudden change from the high to medium pressure affects the pressure in the combustion chamber lowering it to lesser than the atmospheric pressure level. 
  • The lowering of the pressure absorbs and extracts the combustion products from the cylinder and during the span often overlaps with the induced intake charge from the partially open intake and exhaust valve. 
  • This process of extraction is called scavenging and its degree is dependent on the shape of the exhaust ports, pipework and the engine speed.
  • The exhaust velocity is increased by the exhaust manifold or the header. 
  • Each exhaust pulse is timed to appear in close sequence. 
  • The low exhaust pulse pressure tail creates a wider pressure difference between the next pulse and the high-pressure head, increasing the velocity of the exhaust pulse. 
  • V6 and V8 engines include more than one exhaust bank and follow the same principle of increasing the next exhaust pulse using the low-pressure units of an exhaust pulse. 
  • The length and width of the primary tube must be carefully selected as a difference in the size, will affect the performance of the exhaust gas and the scavenging system. 
  • If large, the exhaust gas will expand slowly; if small, the resisted flow will make the engine work harder and at a higher speed to expel the exhaust gas out of the chamber. 
  • The reduced power will dilute the intake charge it receives. 
  • The engines are created to produce more intake gas at a high speed the headers are designed to respond to the speed range.
  • Therefore, you should depend on primary tubes that offer sturdy torque power at higher engine speed. 
  • For lower speed, narrow tubes are best suited. 
  • For resonance tuned headers long primary tubes at low engine speed perform better. 
  • Modern exhaust headers come with ceramic coating preventing rust and reducing heat radiation in the engine bay. 
  • This decreases the air temperature entering the engine.

Exhaust manifolds in V8 Engines

  • In crossplane V8 engines, both the right and the left bank contain 4 cylinders each. 
  • The engine pistons fire in the order that they maintain. 
  • If there are two consecutive pistons moving in close at a time, then the firing will accumulate greater pressure within the exhaust pipe. 
  • With the movement of the two pulses, the exhaust pipe will be the H or the X pipe. 
  • The pulse is partially diverted to the H and X pipe lowering the pressure marginally.
  • The decreased pressure fluid will travel through the pipe and at the crossing will use the path offering minimum resistance and drop off some of the fluid lowering the pressure in small amounts. 
  • Without the H-X pipes, the exhaust flow will be irregular with jerks and reducing the efficiency of the engine. 
  • With the double exhaust pulse, depending on the amount and mixture of the pulse, the next exhaust pulse in the bank will not exit the cylinder and due to a lean air-fuel ratio (AFR) detonate or misfire from rich AFR.

When should you replace your exhaust manifold?

  • If the engine is noisy that could be a sign of a deteriorating exhaust problem. 
  • If the gasket is faulty, it can cause leakage and a hissing or tapping sound especially in a cold start acceleration emerges clearly. 
  • The engine performance with slow acceleration or very quick acceleration without the desired acceleration speed is a clear sign. 
  • A difference in fuel efficiency as the engine will work harder using more fuel. Replacing the exhaust manifold would be the best decision.
  • If there is a leakage from gasket failure, plastic parts, even wiring under the hood can burn from the heat of the exhaust gases. The burning smell released with smoke tells you that your vehicle could be in serious trouble. You should have it checked and replaced.
  • Sometimes the exhaust pipe breaks and hangs under the vehicle, if that happens then it should be immediately addressed as not only are you at risk but those driving near you are at equal risk. 
  • If you smell gas inside the car when driving, have your exhaust manifold checked. One of the exhaust pipes or tubes may be damaged, releasing the fumes from the gasoline from all vents. 

When purchasing a used exhaust manifold what to check?

  • Choose the one which has a thick casting as that will keep the strength of the manifold housing gasket intact regardless of the stress that the parts must endure.
  • Inspect the ball and socket joint areas between the head pipe and the manifold. They should be strong and secure. 
  • Look for signs of wear and tear, cracks, damage, leaks. 
  • Carefully inspect the manifold housing, resonator, and converter joints. 
  • Check the exhaust pipe hump covering the real axle.

Used Engines For Sale

 

Buy quality and cheap engines from Big Mouth Direct, your trusted used engine store online. We make used engines affordable at 80% less than the manufacturer's suggested list price.

Turbo Transmission for Sale

 


Turbo-transmissions is a hydrodynamic link converting the mechanical energy of the motor into the kinetic energy of the fluid. This happens through the torque converter and the fluid coupling before the final rotary output is produced. The fluid passes through rotor blade canals. The flow rate is high at low pressure. This is how a turbo transmission differs from a hydrostatic transmission.

How does it work?

  • The torque converter is the main unit of the turbo transmission.
  • This mechanism is in high demand in diesel-powered vehicles. 
  • It shows a better startup performance, without affecting the dimension of the startup convertor and constant in transit loading of the travel phase converter. 
  • The single-stage converter using centrifugal flow turbine is the best amongst many different torque designs. Owing to its simple construction and radial stability of the turbine the convertor is well adapted to rpm operations. 

In the 1970s the enhanced traction features were coming closer to the startup traction, the two-convertor transmission replaced the three-converter transmission. The quest for improving the torque convertors is continuous though they are quite advanced now. 

Engineers are better informed of modern computational fluid dynamics (CFD) which gives them a clearer picture of rotating turbine wheel flow patterns at each grid intersection. It helps to calculate the flow volume, speed, and pressure.

Difference between normally aspirated transmission and turbo transmission

  • The normally aspirated transmission and Turbo transmission can be both 5-speed transmission models with the same splines on input and out shafts. 
  • The housing of both the normally aspirated transmission and turbo transmission is mostly the same. 
  • The spot where the starter mounts on the bellhousing is machined differently engaging the slightly larger diameter flywheel which prevents the flywheel teeth from scraping the inside of the bellhousing. 
  • A normally aspirated transmission 5 speed can be used in a turbo transmission with the use of a flat washer to make the turbo transmission flywheel fit well. 

Difference between transmission turbo 350 and turbo 400

  • The turbo transmission is a hydrodynamic, multistage assembly drive that works on the principle of fluid dynamics. 
  • It includes torque converters, fluid converters and optional hydrodynamic retarders. 
  • This low torque transmission turbo 350 and turbo 400 are GM transmissions used from 1969 to 1990 in heavy vehicles.
  • In light cars, a modified TH-350 was used as a high torque transmission. 
  • The TH 400 used in heavy cars operates on high torque and is a stronger transmission than 400. 
  • The TH 400 is placed on the right rear of the transmission.
  • A kick-down cable differentiated the TH 350 from the TH 400. 
  • They were used in Chevrolet V-8 cars and light trucks.
  • Both transmission pans have 13 bolts but with different shapes. 
  • A square pan cut from the corner distinguishes a TH-350 while a TH-400, uses an oblong-shaped pan and the pan sides have a hump, curved at one and straight on the other side. It is further identifiable with two circular indents on the humped side of the pan.
  • The TH-400 measures 38 inches in length while the total length of TH-350 is 33 5/8 inches, this is when both use the longest available tail shafts. The body of the TH 400 measures 25 inches while the TH 350 is 21 5/8 inches. 
  • The TH-350 tail shafts are 6-, 9- or 12-inch long.
  • The TH-400 tail shafts are 4-,9- or 13-inch long.

Why Does It Make Sense to Buy Used Car Body Parts?

 


Big Mouth Direct has an extensive list of auto body parts and we are covering them in the greatest detail. In this blog, we discuss some important car body parts, rear clip assembly, front end assembly and the dash panel. Understanding the function of each will help you discover how used auto parts prove to be equally good as OEM parts.

Used auto body parts — rear clip assembly

The rear clip assembly is a section of the auto body parts on which the rear suspension and rear differential are balanced. Starting from over the rear wheels the assembly of most vehicles are built in three sections. This is the entire rear structural portion of a vehicle located behind the rear seat. The assembly includes the left and right quarter panels and the rear face of the trunk lid. 

Replacing a rear clip assembly

If your rear clip assembly has met with a collision, a repair will only fix the cosmetic issues but replacing the whole structure is a wiser decision. The paint shade of pearl coats or metallics is likely to be a mismatch with the existing one.

The original rear clip assembly of Toyota, BMW etc. are expensive but used auto body parts are much cheaper. Luxury cars carry sensors and cameras with the rear clip assembly and that could dent your budget if you do not choose a used auto part.


Used auto body parts — Front end assembly

The front-end assembly attaches the vehicle components with the chassis at the front part. It connects the steering, suspension to the front of the chassis. It is the framework that holds the automobile together. A worn-out or loose front-end assembly can be dangerous for driving.

Replacing a front-end assembly

Do a bounce test to check your front-end assembly. When the vehicle is parked do a push-up and down test until the body bounces. If it continues then there could be a problem with the shock or struts. Inspect the movement of the shock or struts for an excessive bounce. Notice vertical rising above each wheel. look for dampness and oil leakage. There could be cracks or dents. Replace for a safe ride.

Used auto body parts — Dash panel

Popularly known as a dashboard it is technically called an instrumental panel. This is fixed in front of the driver and reflects the operation of the vehicle. It includes steering measuring meters, indicators, and warning icons in its display. The upper part of the dash panel includes the heating system, air-conditioning ventilators, and audio speakers. The role of the panel is to display several operational indicators and a display switch. The dash panel is being upgraded with a new model and the designs are changing rapidly.

Replacing a dash panel

A broken or faulty dash panel will give an incorrect reading that could compromise your road safety. The dash panel can get damaged if the indicator light burns. The backlight can burn out leaving a dark spot. Corrosion of wires can result in disconnection if needles get stuck. The LCD or LED lights stop and do not show the right reading. You can also have a blown fuse. In all these instances, replacing is a wise decision.
