Engine Crank Journals (pins) explained Crankpins highlighted in blue In a reciprocating engine, the crankpins, also known as crank journals are the journals of the big end bearings, at the ends of th ...
Engine Crankcase In an internal combustion engine of the reciprocating type, the crankcase is the housing for the crankshaft. The enclosure forms the largest cavity in the engine and is located below ...
Engine Crankcase ventilation system & (PCV) valve Car pcv valve A crankcase ventilation system is a way for gases to escape in a controlled manner from the crankcase of an internal combustion engine. ...
Engine Crankshaft explained The crankshaft, sometimes abbreviated to crank, is the part of an engine that translates reciprocating linear piston motion into rotation. To convert the reciprocating mot ...
V8 Crossplane crankshaft The crossplane or cross-plane is a crankshaft design for V8 engines with a 90° angle between the cylinder banks. The crossplane crankshaft is the configuration used in most V ...
Crankshaft deep rolling Deep rolling is a method of cold work deformation and burnishing of internal combustion engine crankshaft journal fillets to increase durability and design safety factors. Com ...
Engine Cylinder explained A cylinder is the central working part of a reciprocating engine or pump, the space in which a piston travels. Multiple cylinders are commonly arranged side by side in a ban ...
Engine Cylinder bank explained Internal combustion piston engines (those with more than one cylinder) are usually arranged so that the cylinders are in lines parallel to the crankshaft. Where they ar ...
Engine Cylinder block A cylinder block is an integrated structure comprising the cylinder(s) of a reciprocating engine and often some or all of their associated surrounding structures (coolant passag ...
Cylinder Bore & Pitch Bore is the diameter measurement of the cylinders in a piston engine. Engine displacement is calculated by: Bore pitch is the distance between the centerline of a cylinder bore ...
Cylinder head In an internal combustion engine, the cylinder head (often informally abbreviated to just head) sits above the cylinders on top of the cylinder block. It closes in the top of the cylind ...
Car Cylinder head porting explained Cylinder head porting refers to the process of modifying the intake and exhaust ports of an internal combustion engine to improve the quality and quantity of the a ...
Engine Reverse-flow cylinder head In engine technology, a reverse-flow or non-crossflow cylinder head is one that locates the intake and exhaust ports on the same side of the engine. The gases can be ...
Desmodromic valve A desmodromic valve is a reciprocating engine valve that is positively closed by a cam and leverage system, rather than by a more conventional spring. The valves in a typical four-s ...
Engine Dry Sump A dry sump is a lubricating motor oil management method for four-stroke and large two-stroke piston internal combustion engines that uses external pumps and a secondary external reser ...
