We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Diesel Engine",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Borescope photographs inaccessible areas from
Dart Systems, which we summarised at the time by saying "The unit features a standard 512Mbyte or 2Gbyte SD Card and a high capacity battery that will run for four hours continuously after being charged for two hours".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Valvetrain technology explained from
Schaeffler (UK): "Since the introduction of multivalve technology in automotive engine building, there has been considerable progress in valvetrain technology".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Ricardo
- take a look at Consultancy launches Indian subsidiary
which says: "Ricardo India Private will be chaired by Surjit Singh Kalra, who has been Ricardo's representative in India for over 20 years".
Take a look also at the news release from Belden, Drive shaft assemblies suit military use,
as well as Research makes diesel engines greener from Ricardo,
and Gearbox chosen for construction pumps from Renold Gears.
