You scored
28 out of 30

Tricked by first question and "battery - alternator" question.

Back to school for me. Guess 93% aint bad, but not as good as you keeners.

Took it a couple weeks ago, a quick rundown (basically, picked the first answer that came to mind) yielded 28/30.

I did not use cheating software to attain the results.

29/30 Engine knock, shoulda said spark plugs considering the question before it, but no oil will also make an engine knock......

One that had two right answers was 3 common engine configurations: inline, V or flat, V, flat, rotary.....

nope - it asked what are the common ways to arrange cylinders. Rotary doesn't have any cylinders. HEMI is that shape of the combustion chamber. Thus inline, V and flat is the answer. Unless you are thinking of radial engines. Not too many in cars I guess.
