Engine Cooling
Two most common forms of engine cooling are air-cooled and water cooled — most modern engines are water cooled. Some engines (air or water cooled) also have an oil cooler. Cooling is required to remove excessive heat — over heating can cause engine failure, usually from wear, cracking or warping.

Famous quotes containing the words engine and/or cooling:
“The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is perfect, the engineer is nobody. Every new step in improving the engine restricts one more act of the engineer,—unteaches him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A little cooling down of animal excitability and instinct, a little loss of animal toughness, a little irritable weakness and descent of the pain-threshold, will bring the worm at the core of all our usual springs of delight into full view, and turn us into melancholy metaphysicians.”
—William James (1842–1910)
