Camshaft: A rotating shaft in an engine that controls the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves. Aftercooler (air to air): A device that cools the compressed air from a turbocharger using outside air. Glow Plugs: Heating elements used to aid in starting diesel engines in cold temperatures. Timing Cover: The cover that protects the timing gears and belt or chain in an engine. Exhaust Manifold: A component that collects exhaust gases from multiple cylinders and directs them to the exhaust pipe. Oil Suction Tube: A tube that draws oil from the oil pan to the oil pump. Air Compressor: A device that increases the pressure of air and is often used to power air brakes or pneumatic tools. Oil Cooler: A device that cools the engine oil, helping prevent it from overheating. Supercharger/Blower: A device that increases the pressure of the air-fuel mixture entering the engine to boost power. Piston Rings: Rings around the piston that seal the combustion chamber, control oil consumption, and conduct heat. Crankshaft: A shaft that converts the linear motion of the pistons into rotational motion to power the vehicle. Oil Pan: A reservoir at the bottom of the engine that collects and holds the engine oil. Connecting Rod: Connects the piston to the crankshaft, converting the piston's motion into rotational motion. Stroke: The distance the piston travels within the cylinder, from top dead center to bottom dead center. 2 Cycle: A type of engine that completes a power cycle in two strokes of the piston. Crankshaft Main Bearing: The bearing that supports the crankshaft in the engine block. Aftercooler (water/coolant): A device that cools the compressed air from a turbocharger using water or coolant. Water Pump: A pump that circulates coolant through the engine and radiator to prevent overheating. Oil Filter: A filter that removes contaminants from the engine oil. Vibration Dampener: A device attached to the crankshaft to reduce engine vibrations. Piston Wrist Pin: The pin that connects the piston to the connecting rod. Valve Cover: The cover that protects the engine's valves and camshaft. Cylinder Block: The main structure of an engine that houses the cylinders and other components. ECM/ECU: Electronic Control Module or Electronic Control Unit, which controls various engine functions. Cylinder Head: The top part of the cylinder that contains the combustion chamber, valves, and spark plugs. Oil Pump: A pump that circulates oil through the engine to lubricate moving parts. Cylinder Liner: A sleeve inside the cylinder that protects it from wear and corrosion. TDC (Top Dead Center): The highest position the piston reaches in its stroke. Bore: The diameter of a cylinder in an engine. Flywheel: A heavy wheel that stores rotational energy to smooth out engine operation. Crankshaft Rod Bearing: The bearing that connects the crankshaft to the connecting rod. Push Tube / Push Rod: Rods that transmit motion from the camshaft to the valves. Piston: A cylindrical component that moves up and down within the cylinder to create power. Flywheel Housing: The casing that surrounds and supports the flywheel. Valve Lifter or Cam Follower: A component that follows the camshaft lobes to open and close the valves. Turbo: A device that increases the engine’s power by forcing more air into the combustion chamber. Intake & Exhaust Valves: Valves that control the intake of air and the exhaust of gases in the engine. Intake Manifold: A manifold that distributes the air-fuel mixture or air to the cylinders. Rocker Arm: A lever that transfers camshaft motion to the valves. Wastegate: A valve that controls the exhaust gases flowing to the turbocharger, preventing excessive boost pressure. Fuel Injector: A device that sprays fuel into the combustion chamber. Fuel Pump: A pump that moves fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. BDC (Bottom Dead Center): The lowest position the piston reaches in its stroke. 4 Cycle: A type of engine that completes a power cycle in four strokes (intake, compression, power, exhaust). Articulated Piston: A piston with two pieces (crown and skirt) joined by a pivot, allowing some flexibility in movement.
