Engine Components
Cylinder Block The engine's core component, the
cylinder block houses the cylinders in which the
pistons move up and down.
3
Engine Components
Cylinders These are the chambers in which the
air-fuel mixture is ignited, generating power.
Engines can have various configurations, such as
inline, V-shaped, or flat engines, with multiple
cylinders.
4
Engine Components
Pistons move within the cylinders and transfer
the force generated by combustion to the
crankshaft.
5
Engine Components
Crankshaft The crankshaft converts linear motion
from the pistons into rotational motion, powering
the vehicle's wheels.
6
Engine Components
Camshaft The camshaft controls the opening and
closing of the engine's valves, determining the
timing of fuel intake and exhaust.
7
Engine Components
Valves Valves allow the entry of air and fuel
into the cylinders and the expulsion of exhaust
gases.
8
Engine Components
Cylinder Head The cylinder head covers the top
of the cylinder block and houses the valves and
often the camshaft.
9
Engine Components
Connecting Rods These rods connect the pistons
to the crankshaft, transferring motion and power.
10
Engine Components
Timing Belt/Chain The timing belt or chain
synchronizes the movement of the crankshaft and
camshaft, ensuring proper valve timing.
11
Engine Components
Intake Manifold The intake manifold directs air
into the cylinders, where it mixes with fuel for
combustion.
12
Engine Components
Exhaust Manifold The exhaust manifold collects
and routes exhaust gases away from the engine.
13
Engine Components
Engine Control Unit (ECU) The ECU is the
engine's computer, responsible for managing
various functions, including fuel injection,
ignition timing, and emissions control.

Engine Components
These Engine Components And Common Spare Parts
are essential for maintaining and repairing
automotive engines. Regular maintenance and
prompt replacement of worn or damaged parts are
crucial to ensure the engine's reliability and
longevity.
