Probably B10 and B50 Life Expectancy could be added to the template. http://www.dieselhub.com/tech/b10-b50-life.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.169.117.125 ( talk) 12:54, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
Common Application: School buses / medium-duty trucks. I dont know how to do it :-( — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.169.117.125 ( talk) 03:22, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
Not wishing to screw things up, I just note that:
although block and head suffice for the majority of contemporary auto engines, for engines such as the
Corvair,
Porsche (I assume), and
Volkswagen, there are separate
crankcase and cylinder rather than a single block; and for some engines there was
monobloc (cylinders and head cast as one piece, separate crankcase) construction. I suggest that the template have these added, so as to read
| block =
| head =
| crankcase =
| cylinder barrels =
| monobloc =
Also, looks like it could use some added specs to cover Wankels, e.g. rotor materials, housing materials, rotor thickness (instead of bore and storke), etc.

Can I suggest we add 'Designer' to the template? This is of relevance to a discussion on the Rover V8 and General Motors Buick 215 at the moment, and will be a valuable field for many of the more significant engine designs of the 20th century. Mja58 ( talk) 12:17, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
I suggest that this template shall be renamed Template:Reciprocating engine.
Reason: This template is also applicable for marine and aerospace installations (potentially with a couple of extra parameters). -- Gwafton ( talk) 09:30, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

I would find a "bore spacing" field very useful. Anyone else have an opinion? Thanks, Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:18, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
I agree. Rps ( talk) 12:17, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
So you know how much you can "bore out" the engine? Eddaido ( talk) 08:32, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Infobox automobile engine → Template:Infobox engine – Also used for industrial engines. Erkinalp9035 ( talk) 06:56, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
Some changes to the Template would improve it.
Generic introduction over, I propose the following changes:
Ideas, criticism, comments? See a horrible first mock-up ->here<- or take a look at the page history if page is wiped. 2A04:4540:110A:1501:5834:95F3:19FD:BE80 ( talk) 20:28, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
Currently, the infobox does not have an operating principle field. I suppose the operating principle the most distinctive design feature of any combustion engine and I seriously wonder why it has not been added yet. -- Johannes Maximilian ( talk) 14:48, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
The "turboboostpressure" field is there, but not usable. Can someone fix it? 101.128.126.147 ( talk) 03:07, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
Can we add a "related" field? Apologies if this has already been discussed. Mr.choppers | ✎ 01:15, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
