SR & RB on periodic table

[orange_guy182]

Has anyone every noticed that on the periodic table, RB (rubidium) and SR (strontium) are side by side (what can I say, Chemistry is extremely boring). Coincidence?

lol - somones having fun in chem class - i personally dont know how they come up with the engine codes but i bet someone else does here lemme give you a coincidence that i DONT likei like in a town thats initials are RP there is a gang in california called the Scraps they claim number 13 the morons run around tagging RPS13 all over the place ... oh boy wont i feel safe driving around with a RPS13 center pannel on the back of my car.

and CA (calcium) is right above SR AND its atomic number is 20. CA20 a coincidence? i think not. unfortunately there's no KA, but the next best thing, K (potassium) is right next to CA and right above RB.

Stanza engine...right?

[driftaholic]

if i'm not mistaken, that was in the S12 (at least the american version) too.

Does any one know how they come up with the engine codes?

[APEXi240]

No, the S12 came with a CA18e and a CA18et, also a VG30e.

the letters at the beginning are the engine family ( IE CA ), the numbers are the displacement ( IE 18 = 1.8 ), the last letters designate pushrod, SOHC, or DOHC, or special VVT, the E designates Fuel Injection, the T Designates Turbo, etc.
