  2. Component parts of internal combustion engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Component_parts_of...

    Internal combustions engines require lubrication in operation that moving parts slide smoothly over each other. Insufficient lubrication subjects the parts of the engine to metal-to-metal contact, friction, heat build-up, rapid wear often culminating in parts becoming friction welded together e.g. pistons in their cylinders.

  3. Exploded-view drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploded-view_drawing

    An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [1]It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.

  4. List of auto parts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_auto_parts

    This is a list of auto parts, which are manufactured components of automobiles. This list reflects both fossil-fueled cars (using internal combustion engines) and electric vehicles; the list is not exhaustive. Many of these parts are also used on other motor vehicles such as trucks and buses.

  5. Valvetrain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valvetrain

    A valvetrain is a mechanical system that controls the operation of the intake and exhaust valves in an internal combustion engine. [1] The intake valves control the flow of air/fuel mixture (or air alone for direct-injected engines) into the combustion chamber, while the exhaust valves control the flow of spent exhaust gases out of the ...

  6. Fuel pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_pump

    A Fuel pump is a component used in many liquid-fuelled engines (such as petrol/gasoline or diesel engines) to transfer the fuel from the fuel tank to the device where it is mixed with the intake air (such as the carburetor or fuel injector). Carbureted engines often use low-pressure mechanical pumps that are mounted on the engine. Fuel injected ...

  8. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    The leading cause of low oil pressure in an engine is wear on the engine's vital parts. Over time, engine bearings and seals suffer from wear and tear. Wear can cause these parts to eventually lose their original dimensions, and this increased clearance allows for a greater volume of oil to flow over time which can greatly reduce oil pressure.

  9. Engine block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_block

    In an internal combustion engine, the engine block is the structure that contains the cylinders and other components. The engine block in an early automotive engine consisted of just the cylinder block, to which a separate crankcase was attached. Modern engine blocks typically have the crankcase integrated with the cylinder block as a single ...
