PARTS OF AN ENGINE

Cylinder Block
It is a container fitted with piston, where the fuel is burnt and power is
produced.
Cylinder is the main body of IC engine. Cylinder is a part in which the intake
of fuel, compression of fuel and burning of fuel take place. The main
function of cylinder is to guide the piston.
For cooling of cylinder a water jacket (for liquid cooling used in most of cars)
or fin (for air cooling used in most of bikes) are situated at the outer side of
cylinder.
At the upper end of cylinder, cylinder head and at the bottom end crank
case is bolted.

Cylinder Head/Cylinder Cover

One end of the cylinder is closed by means of cylinder head. This consists of
inlet valve for admitting air fuel mixture and exhaust valve for removing the
products of combustion.
The inlet valve, exhaust valve, spark plug, injector etc. are bolted on the
cylinder head. The main function of cylinder head is to seal the cylinder
block and not to permit entry and exit of gases on cover head valve engine.

TOOLS
Wrenches
This may be an obvious choice, but many people dont have a quality set. I
recommend Craftsman because they are quality tools with a lifetime
warranty. I still use the same Craftsman wrenches from when I was 17.
When it comes to purchasing metric or standard (US) sizes, pick metric if
you have to make a choice. Having a standard set is good to have, but I
rarely use mine.

The Three most Common Sizes of Ratchets

There are three basic sizes or drives for ratchets: (small), (medium),
and (large). All sizes are used extensively. Most starter kits with
Craftsman include all three sizes.

Sockets
Like the ratchets mentioned previously, sockets come in the three common
sizes. They also come in shallow (short) and long. Both lengths are critical
for common repairs. As with the wrenches, choose metric if you have to
make a choice between sizes.

Screwdrivers
Not only does the beginning mechanic need Flat and Phillips head
screwdrivers, they need an assortment of lengths and gauges (thickness).

Pliers
If the beginning mechanic wants to change hoses, work with difficult
connectors, and sometimes even brake work, pliers are a must. Most jobs
require the use of the following pliers.

Hammer
It may sound barbaric, but in order to knock a stuck rotor or any other stuck
component, a good whack with a hammer usually does the trick.

Breaker Bar
There is no substitute for torque. When a mechanic is first starting out, its
difficult to afford power tools. This makes the Breaker Bar a must have to
getting tough bolts loose.

Multimeter
This tool ranges from cheap and inexpensive to extremely expensive. Be
sure to purchase a Multimeter that can read amperage (A). Some of the

lower end models do not have the ability to read amps. Ive included a good
model in the link within the Multimeter picture below.

Extension Bars
There are many bolts that are out of reach. Whether the new mechanic is
taking off a part deep in the engine bay, or tearing out a transmission, a
variety of extensions will certainly make life easier. In fact, some jobs are
impossible without these.

Jack
An automotive jack is essential for jobs that require taking the wheels off
(brakes), or getting underneath the car. Be sure to ALWAYS use jack-stands
to support the car while using a jack. This is vital to automotive safety.

Jack-Stands
These simply provide back up support while using a jack. Since a jack is
hydraulic, it has potential room for failure. Jack-stands are purely
mechanical, and provide better support for the vehicle.

MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

Vernier caliper
We are engaged in offering our customers, Vernier Caliper that is
manufactured using superior quality raw materials. Designed and developed
using advanced technology, these are in compliance with the defined quality
standards.

Vernier depth gauge

Which is well known for its accurate measurement and longer functional life.
It is basically used for testing and measuring electronic goods and provide
excellent performance.

Bevel angle protractor

Digital Universal Protractors are used for inspection and implementation of
level, plumb, slopes and angles in metal fabrication and sub-structures. Our
range of protractors features digital electronic display, which provides
vertical or horizontal angels.

Thread pitch gauge

The screw pitch gauge provided by us is made up of high quality tool steel
and is appreciated for its efficiency and high performance. Our screw pitch
gauges are very handy tool for gauging threads.

Ruler and scales: They are used to measure lengths and other geometrical
parameters. They can be single steel plate or flexible tape type tool.

Micrometer: It is a fine precision tool which is used to measure small

distances and is more accurate than the venire calliper. Another type is a
large micrometer calliper which is used to measure large outside diameter
or distance.
