Let’s take a look back at Caterpillar engine history. The CAT 3304 and 3306 remain two of the best engines Caterpillar ever designed and produced. While the former is an in-line, four-stroke-cycle engine that has a max brake horsepower of 95, a bore and stroke of 4.8 inches by 6.0 inches and a displacement of 425 cubic inches, the latter is a 10.5 L inline six-cylinder diesel or natural gas engine that produces horsepower ratings between 218 – 360 hp with turbo and injector performance upgrades. Both engines are known for their reliability due to uncomplicated designs, yet offer solutions in a wide range of construction applications.

The Ford V10 engine was originally used in primarily Ford trucks as an alternative to diesel. Ford V10 engines were most popular for use in commercial trucks that included motor homes, shuttles and panel vans. It was also found in some 3/4 and 1 ton pickups, medium duty vans and chassis cabs. Because so many trucks and vans in the United States (and around the world) have a V10 engine, replacing and / or rebuilding these cylinder heads is often required as these trucks and engines age.

Throughout the Toyota Corolla history, we can see that while other automakers have moved on with many other kinds of engine, such as small blocks (Chevrolet) or V6 (Jeep), the entire line of Corolla has been loyal to the inline-4 cylinder engine only, for 53 years. What is so special about this engine? The answer is its design. As the most common form of engine for hatchbacks and small family cars, an inline-4 engine is when there are 4 cylinders arranged side-by-side in an upright position across the engine bay, perpendicular to the car.
