@mechanix.vault: Ever wondered what’s actually inside your engine? 🚗⚙️ An engine is made up of several major components working together to turn combustion into motion. The valve cover protects the valvetrain, while the camshaft controls valve timing. The cylinder head contains the valves and combustion chambers, and the valves control what enters and exits the cylinders. Inside the engine block, the pistons move as combustion creates force. The connecting rods transfer that force to the crankshaft, which converts the pistons’ movement into rotation. The flywheel helps smooth that rotation and transfers torque toward the transmission, while the oil pan stores the oil needed for lubrication. Understanding these basic components is one of the first steps toward understanding how an engine actually works.
