The Buick Century employs a starter, an important part intended to commence the functioning of the engine through the conversion of electrical energy from the battery to mechanical energy. This process starts the moment the ignition key is turned: this turns solenoid of the starter and thereby engages the starter drive gear with the flywheel of the vehicle's engine. The starter for use in Buick Century comes with gear reduction; this increases the effectiveness of the starter motor through the use of a reduction gear to drive. This system is however very useful in making sure that the starter can endure the task imposed on it by the engine without straining too much. Main types of engine starters Patent starters- patent means something that is invented and these starters have been developed over the years to meet the various engine designs depending on the type and size. For example, it will be seen that while most OE starters are good for delivering a large amount of torque they are not suitable for high compression engines as used in some performance models of Buick Century. These high performance engines then usually demand starters that are made particularly for the next and tighter clearances as well as the higher compression ratios apart from usual OE starters. All in all, it is much the same for Buick Century vehicles where the starter is the primary component that converts electrical power to the mechanical force required to crank the engine. Some of these include gear reduction starters, and for Buick Century the company has made provision for both standard and hi-performance engines to ensure that the vehicle has a reliable start.
