subject: What Makes Engine Work? [print this page] Engines are supposed to be the most important part of a car. It is not possible that you can run your vehicle without a proper engine installed. There it is supposed to be the most vital part of any vehicle. There are certain parts in an engine which are highlighted here. A proper blend of all these parts will make the engines perfect.
* The spark plugs are one of the important parts of engines. They help in the initiating the engine and thus a car. It is very important they spark plugs work properly. Make sure that these are smoother enough. The spark plugs are required to be replaced in proper time gaps so that it works properly.
* You have cylindrical shaped components here which are named as pistons. They move in an up and down trend. They basically work for the purpose of compressing the air along with the mixture of the fuel that is filled in the cylinder.
* Another part of the engine is piston rings. As name suggest these are placed in the region of pistons and they stop the air and fuel to come out of the cylinder at the time of combustion.
* Valves are another part of engine which is generally of two kinds. One is the intake valve and another exhaust valve. As the name suggest intake valve allows the fuel to come in during combustion and the exhaust valve opens to let all the air out after combustion.
* Apart from this you also have crankshaft in an engine which operates alike to pistons but with a difference that they move in circular motion so that it can help the pistons working which are connected to the crankshaft.
* You have a flywheel that is located behind the engines part crankshaft. It fluctuates the engines during the ignition time. Thus it allows the car to start properly.
* Another part is the connecting rod which is made up of metal. The work of the connecting rod is to connect the crankshaft along with the piston. It helps in proper motion of the crankshaft and the piston.
These are certain parts of an engine which are important to be in sync so that it works properly thus allowing the car to initiate properly. So now that you know about these parts, you will be able to analyze it is a very proper manner.
