Exhaust manifolds are typically made of one of these two materials.

what is Steel and Cast iron?

300

The tool used to measure valve clearance

What is a feeler gauge?

please list the steps in the 4 stroke cycle in order.

What is Intake, compression, power, and exhaust?

300
This is the specification for exhaust backpressure in psi.

0psi

Technician A states that a turbocharger is a way of forcing more air into the engine. Technician B states that more air in the cylinder means more fuel can be injected into the cylinder without messing up air-fuel ratio. Who is correct

Both A and B

300

This component limits boost pressure by venting exhaust gas prior to reaching the turbine

What is the Wastegate?

Two technicians are performing a compression test on a vehicle. Technician A states that a compression reading of 120psi on cylinder two likely indicates a bad piston rings. Technician B states that you must record the compression readings of the other cylinders before you can make a proper judgment on what may be causing low compression. Who is correct

Tech B
