Automotive engine cooling Internal combustion engine cooling refers to the cooling of an internal combustion engine, typically using either air or a liquid. Overview Heat engines generate mechanical ...
4-bolt main Explained A 4-bolt main refers to the number of bolts attaching the main bearing caps to the block of an internal combustion engine. Four bolt mains are considered much stronger for high ...
6-bolt main engine 6-bolt main refers to the number of bolts holding the main caps to the block of an internal combustion engine, and therefore holding the crankshaft in place. A main cap refers to t ...
Multi-groove belts A multi-groove or polygroove belt is made up of usually 5 or 6 "V" shapes alongside each other. This gives a thinner belt for the same drive surface, thus it is more flexible, alth ...
Engine Oil filter Types An oil filter is a filter designed to remove contaminants from engine oil, transmission oil, lubricating oil, or hydraulic oil. Oil filters are used in many different types of ...
Oil pressure Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a posit ...
Oil pump The oil pump in an internal combustion engine circulates engine oil under pressure to the rotating bearings, the sliding pistons and the camshaft of the engine. This lubricates the bearings, ...
Overhead valve (OHV) Oldsmobile Rocket V8 engine An overhead (OHV) engine, also informally called pushrod engine or I-head engine, is a type of piston engine that places the camshaft within the cylin ...
Car Piston types Car Piston assembly A piston is a component of reciprocating engines, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors and pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms. It is the moving c ...
Hypereutectic piston cosworth forged pistons A hypereutectic piston is an internal combustion engine piston cast using a hypereutectic alloy–that is, a metallic alloy which has a composition beyond t ...
