Internal Combustion Engine Theory

Casting of iron or an aluminum alloy designed to keep all engine parts in alignment

• Engine Block

• Engine Displacement

• Crankshaft

• Oil Pump

The major rotating part of the engine. It converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into rotary motion

• Coolant

• Camshaft

• Crankshaft

• Current

Gets rid of heat from the engine

• Thermaocilator

• Cooling Fins

• Compression Fan

• Compound

Device that picks up oil and splashed it around the internal engine parts

• Otto Cycle

• Oscillator

• Open Circuit

• Oil Slinger

Circular rings that fit the piston grooves and exert tension on the cylinder wall

• Piston Head

• Piston Rings

• Pitch

• Piston Lands

A Part that moves up and down in the cylinder in order to draw air-fuel mixture into the cylinder during the: Intake, Compression, Power and Exhaust stroke and more!

• Head

• Piston

• Poppet

• Post

Heavily inserted wire that connects the output of the ignition coil secondary windings to the spark plug

• Square

• Spark Plug Wire

• Steering Control

• Stern

A heavy wheel attached to the end of the crankshaft to improve the running of the engine

• Camshaft

• Flywheel

• Spark

• Pull Start

Where the oil rests

• Oil Pan

• Oil Bed

• Gasoline Intake

• Hyperfuel Injector

There will be two of these in our engine, one is the intake and one is the exhaust. They help keep the air-fuel mixture in when compression is happening

• Pockets

• Valves

• Wells

• Holes
