4 Stroke Cycle
Engine convert energy of fuel to energy of motion Powertrain transfer power from engine to driven wheels Brakes slow and stop vehicle Steering control direction of travel Suspension
Absorb bumps Maintain alignment Keep wheels in contact with road
6. 7.
Engine
Engine Chemical energy of fuel and air Fuel Air Convert chemical to Kinetic energy (energy of motion) Heat Kinetic Energy Engine RPM Exhaust
Start at location where air and fuel are burned and work out from there. Put the car together starting with the combustion
Converts energy of fuel into energy of motion. 4 stroke cycle Otto cycle
Engine Construction
Basic generic Internal Combustion Automobile Engine. Start where air/fuel are burned and work out from there. Strip off components Engine put together in two halves
Upper half = head Lower half = block Seal between upper and lower = head gasket
Engine Construction
Look at single cylinder Most automobile engines have more than one cylinder Same process in each one
Valves
Crankshaft

Flywheel
Heavy metal disk at the end of the crankshaft. Helps to smooth out surges from the power strokes to keep engine rotating at a uniform rate.
Rings
Help seal pistons to cylinder walls
Firing Order
Each cylinder in different part of the cycle Insures always one cylinder pushing the others Smooths out vibrations Distributes heat input to engine block
