I don't, you just asked big block period.","canonicalId":"term:big-block","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"A big block refers to a type of engine that has a larger displacement and typically more power than a small block engine. These engines are often used in performance and heavy-duty applications.","simplifiedExplanation":"A big block is a type of car engine that is larger and usually more powerful than smaller engines. They're often found in muscle cars and trucks."}},{"startTime":6.0,"endTime":7.0,"type":"term","title":"valve covers","url":"/glossary/valve-covers","quote":"I think you can share the valve covers and they're w shaped, so that's why it's called the 3 48 W.","canonicalId":"term:valve-covers","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.85,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Valve covers are the protective covers that sit on top of the engine's cylinder head, enclosing the valve train. They help keep oil in and dirt out of the engine.","simplifiedExplanation":"Valve covers are parts of the engine that cover the valves. They help keep oil inside the engine and protect it from dirt and debris."}},{"startTime":8.0,"endTime":9.0,"type":"term","title":"Cadillac 500","url":"/glossary/cadillac-500","quote":"but like Cadillac motors don't really get referred to as big blocks 'cause they're all big. I mean there are some caddies that we know of with smaller engines, but like nobody's like yeah, big block Cadillac for like you just say a Cadillac 500.","canonicalId":"term:cadillac-500","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"The Cadillac 500 is a V8 engine produced by Cadillac from 1970 to 1976, known for its large displacement and smooth performance. It was one of the largest production engines of its time.","simplifiedExplanation":"The Cadillac 500 is a big engine made by Cadillac that was used in some of their cars in the 1970s. It's known for being powerful and smooth."}},{"startTime":11.0,"endTime":12.0,"type":"term","title":"max power","url":"/glossary/max-power","quote":"...I just wanted to know the max power it made and by 61 348 horse. So it finally made it to one to one...","canonicalId":"term:max-power","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Max power refers to the maximum amount of power an engine can produce, typically measured in horsepower. It is an important specification that indicates the performance potential of a vehicle.","simplifiedExplanation":"Max power is the highest amount of power an engine can produce. It's usually measured in horsepower, which helps you understand how fast a car can go."}},{"startTime":13.0,"endTime":14.0,"type":"term","title":"bias-ply tire","url":"/glossary/bias-ply-tire","quote":"...they have the biasly have, two layers of cables and they go diagonal to the tread, one goes diagonal one way and one goes diagonal the other...","canonicalId":"term:bias-ply-tire","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"A bias-ply tire is constructed with layers of fabric cords that run diagonally across the tire. This design can provide a stiffer sidewall but may not offer the same performance in cornering as radial tires.","simplifiedExplanation":"A bias-ply tire is made with layers of cords that cross each other at an angle. They tend to have stiffer sides but might not handle turns as well as other types of tires."}},{"startTime":14.0,"endTime":15.0,"type":"term","title":"radial tire","url":"/glossary/radial-tires","quote":"...they do, they make bias. See, I thought Biasly was something that was out of,...","canonicalId":"term:radial-tires","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"A radial tire features cords that run perpendicular to the direction of travel, allowing for better flexibility and performance, especially in cornering. They are the most common type of tire used today.","simplifiedExplanation":"A radial tire is designed with cords that go straight across the tire, which helps it flex better. This design usually gives better handling and performance compared to other types of tires."}},{"startTime":19.0,"endTime":20.0,"type":"term","title":"stiffer sidewalls","url":"/glossary/stiffer-sidewalls","quote":"...the biasly has stiffer sidewalls than the radials, so my bad Take, take it back...","canonicalId":"term:stiffer-sidewalls","priority":0.5,"confidence":0.9,"source":"hybrid-fuzzy+gpt-4o-mini","data":{"explanation":"Stiffer sidewalls in tires provide better support and handling, especially during cornering. This characteristic can affect ride comfort and traction.","simplifiedExplanation":"Stiffer sidewalls in tires help them hold their shape better when turning, which can improve how the car handles. However, it might make the ride feel a bit rougher."}}],"speakers":[{"id":"s1","name":"Car Krush","role":"host"}],"transcripts":[{"url":"http://getcarcurious.com/episodes/152-the-pile-up-ep-brain-buster-10/transcript.vtt","type":"text/vtt"}]}
