,PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce students to the basic construction and operation of an internal
combustion engine. It describes the many engine components and how to identify the various pieces. Also
explained are the different engine classifications along with the different systems and how they work
together to keep the engine operating effectively.
CHAPTER OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this chapter, the student should be able to:
Explain the principles of internal combustion engine operation.
Identify internal combustion engine parts by name.
Explain various engine classifications and systems.

, KEY TERMS
BDC: Bottom Dead Center, referring to the location of the piston at the bottom of the stroke
bimetal engine: Engines composed of cast iron block and aluminum heads
blowby: Gasses that escape past piston rings
companion cylinders: term given to pairs of cylinders found in engines with even number of cylinders
compression ratio: the ratio at which the air fuel gas mixture is compressed
displacement: refers to the volume that the piston displaces in the cylinder
firing order: The sequence in which the spark plugs fire in each cylinder
lower end: Refers to the location at the bottom of the block where the crankshaft and bearings are
located
TDC: Top Dead Center, referring to the location of the piston at the top of the stroke
transverse engine: term given to the engines in front wheel drive vehicles

CHAPTER OUTLINE
In a simple one-cylinder engine, the reciprocating (up-and-down) motion of the piston is changed
to usable rotary motion by the connecting rod and crankshaft. A flywheel gives momentum to the
crankshaft between power strokes. Valves control the engine’s intake and exhaust. (PPT Slide 4)
During one four-stroke cycle, the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes are completed.
This action takes 720°, or two crankshaft revolutions. (PPT Slide 5)
