Piston Clearance: Total distance between piston and
cylinder wall.
psi.: Pounds per square inch.
PTO: Power take off.
qt.: Quart/quarts.
Regulator: Voltage regulator. Regulates battery charging
system output at approx. 14.5 DCV as engine RPM
increases.
Reservoir Tank: The fill tank in the liquid cooling system.
Resistance: In the mechanical sense, friction or load. In
the electrical sense, ohms, resulting in energy conversion
to heat.
RPM: Revolutions per minute.

there is a transfer of aluminum from the piston onto the
cylinder wall.
Stator Plate: The plate mounted under the flywheel
supporting the battery charging coils.
TDC: Top dead center. Piston's most outward travel from
