Single-Cylinder Engine Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Long Life Version
Single-Cylinder Engine Specification Example for Passenger Cars: Long Life Version
This is a worked specification for single-cylinder engine in a long life version programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The long life version version exists because the duty cycle on passenger cars is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.

- gravity casting
- ultrasonic cleaning
Where this example applies
Programmes that run long life version most often specify this build for passenger cars. Related applications include aftermarket retail, city buses, long-haul trucks, construction equipment, rental motorcycles.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. CCC documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 2000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
Send the specification you are working to and we will confirm what we can match, what we would change and why.
