I have been looking around for 2 things:
1. The 2005 F1 engine specs: For any of the cars/teams
2. How the 2005 F1 engines work

Can anyone guide me as to where I can find the engine specs of the new F1 cars, from the 2005 season.  I don't know how much info. the general public can get, but, I thought this would be the place to ask.

Welcome!  To answer your first question, google returns some good sites if you search "2005 Formula 1 engine" or "2006 Formula 1 engine" if you meant for next year.  As for how they work, that's a complex subject that www.howstuffworks.com can answer a whole lot better than I.  There's not that much difference between an F1 motor and a road car's power plant in basic operating principles besides the fact that the strokes are a lot shorter and this enables them to rev to over 19 000 rpm.
