CHAPTER OUTLINE T
In a simple one-cylinder engine, the reciprocating (up-and-down) motion of the piston is changed to
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
usable rotary motion by the connecting rod and crankshaft. A flywheel gives momentum to the
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
crankshaft between power strokes. Valves control the engine’s intake and exhaust. (PPT Slide 4)
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
During one four-stroke cycle, the intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes are completed. This
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
action takes 720° , or two crankshaft revolutions. (PPT Slide 5)

The compression ratio is how the engine makes the most efficient use of the combustion event in each
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
cylinder. The higher the compression ratio the more potential output a cylinder has. (PPT Slide 6)
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Cylinders are arranged in-line, in a V-type, or opposed to each other. The most popular
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
automotive engines have four, six, or eight cylinders. (PPT Slide 7)
t t t t t t t t t t t
The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the valves and, thus, the way that the engine
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
breathes. Different cam grinds provide better low-speed or better high-speed operation. (PPT
t t t t t t t t t t t t
Slides 8, 9)
t t t
The camshaft is driven by a chain, a belt, or gears. (PPT Slide 8)
t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Camshafts are driven by a timing chain or a timingbelt. (PPT Slides 8, 9) t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Cylinder rows, called banks, are determined from the flywheel end of the engine. A complete
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
engine assembly including the heads is called a long block; without heads it is called a short block.
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
(PPT Slide 12, 13)
t t t t
The crankcase houses the crankshaft and bearings. It is enclosed by the oil pan. The crankshaft has a
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
flywheel on one end and a vibration damper or pulley on the other end. The part that the bearing rides
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
against is called the main or rod bearing journal. Crankpins on four cylinders are offset from each
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
other by 180° , in-line six cylinders by 120° , and V8s by 90° . (PPT Slides 14)
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Engine sizes are described by their cylinder displacement, usually in liters. Engine breathing
t t t t t t t t t t t t
determines the power that the engine develops. (PPT Slide 15)
t t t t t t t t t t
The location of the camshaft depends on the engine design and the type of vehicle the engine is being
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
put in. Cam-In Block engines have the camshaft in the cylinder block. Overhead cam engines have
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
the camshaft in the cylinder head. (PPT Slide 17)
t t t t t t t t t
Engine cylinders are fired in one of several firingorders. (PPT Slide 21)
t t t t t t t t t t t t
Pairs of pistons that go up and down together but fire 360° fromeach other are called
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
companions. (PPT Slide 19)
t t t t
Most engines have liquid coolingsystems that use coolant to prevent rust and corrosion and
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
provide additional protection against freezing and boiling. (PPT Slides 23–25)
t t t t t t t t t t
Spark ignition engines utilize a spark plug to start the ignition event. (PPT Slide 26)
t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
Compression engines utilize heat and pressure to start the ignition event in the cylinder (PPT Slide t t t t t t t t t t t t t t t
