    The document discusses the fundamentals of automotive engines. It identifies the major engine parts including the piston, crankshaft, connecting rod, camshaft, valves and manifolds. It explains the four-stroke cycle of intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes. The document also describes the function of key engine parts like the piston stroke, crankshaft, and valve train. It notes that engines use timing gears to synchronize the crankshaft and camshaft.

    Engine Fundamentals

    1
    Learning Objectives
    z Identify the major parts of a typical automotive
    engine.
    z Describe the four-stroke cycle. Define common
    engine terms.
    z Explain the basic function of the major parts of an
    automotive engine.
    z Cite and demonstrate safe working practices related
    to engines.
    z Correctly answer ASE certification test questions
    that require knowledge of the basic operation of
    piston engines.

    Engine Fundamentals
    1. The piston stroke is the distance of up and
    down movement from TDC to BDC
    2. The crankshaft harnesses the force
    produced by the downward thrust of the
    pistons.
    3. The exhaust stroke removes the burned
    gases from the engine and readies the
    cylinder for a fresh charge of air and fuel.

    4. The valve lifter usually rides on the cam lobes
    and transfers motion to the rest of the valve
    train.
    5. The connecting rod fastens the piston to the
    crankshaft.
    6. The flywheel is mounted on the rear of the
    crankshaft.

    7. The engine block forms the main body of the


    engine.

    8. The compression stroke squeezes the air-fuel


    mixture to prepare it for combustion.

    9. The intake stroke draws fuel and air into the


    engine.

    10. The power stroke burns the air-fuel


    mixture and pushes the piston down with
    tremendous force.

    Engine Fundamentals
    z Two timing gears are used to drive the
    camshaft
    – one on the crankshaft and one on the camshaft
    z Cam gear is twice the size of the crank gear
    – provides a 2:1 reduction
