  2. Chevrolet big-block engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_big-block_engine

    The bore grows by 0.040 in (1.0 mm), compared to the 572-cubic-inch V8s, with most of the displacement gain coming from a stroke that is 0.375 in (9.5 mm) longer. To provide clearance for that long-stroke, engineers modified both the block and the connecting rods. Four-bolt main caps and a forged rotating assembly assure strength and durability.

  3. Connecting rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecting_rod

    A connecting rod, also called a 'con rod', [1] [2] [3] is the part of a piston engine which connects the piston to the crankshaft. Together with the crank, the connecting rod converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft. [4] The connecting rod is required to transmit the compressive and tensile forces from ...

  4. Main bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_bearing

    The lower half of the main bearings are typically held in place by 'bearing caps' which are secured to the engine block using bolts. The basic arrangement is for each bearing cap to have two bolts, but some engines may have four or six bolts per bearing cap (often referred to as "four-bolt mains" or "six-bolt mains" engines).

  5. Crankshaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft

    Crankshaft, pistons and connecting rods for a typical internal combustion engine Marine engine crankshafts from 1942. The crankshaft is located within the engine block and held in place via main bearings which allow the crankshaft to rotate within the block. [3] The up-down motion of each piston is transferred to the crankshaft via connecting ...

  6. Subaru CB engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_CB_engine

    The connecting rods in the CB engine are split horizontally, [3] like those in the second generation EJ engines. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The third generation FB/FA connecting rods are split diagonally [ 7 ] (also called an offset or asymmetrical connecting rod) to allow a longer piston stroke without increasing the width of the engine, [ 8 ] but the ...

  7. Nissan QR engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_QR_engine

    The QR25DE is a 2.5 L (2,488 cc) variant built with cast steel connecting rods, a steel timing chain, counter-rotating balance shafts, and an aluminum intake manifold. The engine bore and stroke is 89 mm × 100 mm (3.50 in × 3.94 in) and a compression ratio ranging from 9.5:1 to 10.5:1 depending on the vehicle.

  8. Return connecting rod engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_connecting_rod_engine

    A return connecting rod, [1] [2] return piston rod [i] or (in marine parlance) double piston rod engine [2] or back-acting engine is a particular layout for a steam engine. The key attribute of this layout is that the piston rod emerges from the cylinder to the crosshead , but the connecting rod then reverses direction and goes backwards to the ...

  9. Crankpin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankpin

    The crankpin connects to the larger end of the connecting rod for each cylinder. This end of the connecting rod is called the "big end", as opposed to the "small end" or "little end" (which connects to the wrist/gudgeon pin in the piston). The bearing which allows the crankpin to rotate around its shaft is called the "rod bearing". [5]
