Know Your Car  :  The Car Engine

OVERVIEW
Have you ever opened the hood of your car and wondered what was going on inside?

A car engine can look like a big confusing jumble of metal, tubes and wires to the uninitiated. You might want to know what's going on in there simply out of curiosity. After all, you ride in your car every day - wouldn't it be nice to know how it works? Or maybe you are tired of going to the mechanic and having him say things that are totally meaningless to you and then charging you a bomb for it.

Or perhaps you are buying a new car, and you hear things like "3.0 litre V-6" and "dual overhead cams" and "MPFI" What do all these terminologies mean?


A - Intake Valve
B - Valve Cover
C - Intake Port
D - Head
E - Coolant
F - Engine Block
G - Oil Pan
H - Oil Sump

I - Camshaft
J - Exhaust Valve
K - Spark Plug
L - Exhaust Port
M - Piston
N - Connecting Rod
O - Road Bearing
P - Crank Shaft
We'll discuss the basic idea behind an engine, and then go into detail about how all the pieces fit together, what can go wrong and how to increase performance from the engine.
