    Under Hood Parts Identification By: Shaurya Solanki

    Part A (Knowledge 10 Marks)

    Students are to research and then answer the following questions. Answer in full
    sentences:

    1. What is the difference between an automatic and manual (standard) transmission? (Explain
    your answer)
    A manual transmission allowed you to change gears manually using a knob and the
    automatic transmission changes gears automatically as you drive.

    2. What are four (4) ways that engine cylinders can be arranged? (Include pictures showing the
    orientation of each)

    The first way to arrange cylinders is called in-line, it is a basic way to arrange cylinders.

    The second way to arrange cylinders is called V-type. The cylinders are placed in a way that it
    looks like a “V.”
    The third way to arrange cylinders is called opposed-piston engine. Each cylinder has a piston
    attached to it.

    The fourth way to arrange cylinders is called horizontally opposed engine. It has a cylinder
    placed horizontally on one side.

    3. Name five (5) common numbers of cylinders a vehicle's engine can have? (Include pictures
    showing the orientation of each)

    A vehicle’s engine commonly has 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 cylinders.

    4-cylinder engine 6-cylinder engine 8-cylinder engine 10-cylider engine 12-cylinder engine

    4. What is the proper method of checking for the proper engine oil level? (Explain your answer)
     First. Make sure that the vehicle is on a leveled surface (the surface should be flat not
    slanted.)
     Second, take out the oil dipstick and wipe it clean because oil would be on the dipstick.
     Third, put the oil dipstick back in and then take it out again. (Check to see if the oil level
    is on the second dots/lines on the oil dipstick.)
    o Too little and it means that you need to add oil.
    o Too much and you must take away oil.

    5. Why do you never open a radiator cap when the engine is hot? (Explain your answer)
    If you open the radiator cap while the engine is hot, the coolant (a gas used to cool down
    the engine) would shoot up because the pressure is released causing you to be burned.

    6. On a typical older vehicle, how many under hood fluid levels could be checked? (Name all of
    these levels)

    There are 6 fluid levels that could be checked. They are the engine oil, coolant, power
    steering fluid, brake fluid, transmission fluid and windshield washer fluid.

    7. What is the proper procedure to check an air filter to see if it needs to be replaced? (Explain
    your answer)

     First, locate the air filter and open it. Depending on the vehicle you might need to
    use a screwdriver to open it.
     Second, inspect the air filter for any dirt/dust.
     Third, wipe your hand across the air filter, if you hand gets dirty, that’s a good
    sign that you need to replace your air filter.

    8. What is the proper method of checking an automatic transmission's fluid level? (Include a
    picture of the dipstick showing any relative information that is on it)

     First, you must take the dipstick and wipe it clean.


     Second, you put the dipstick back in and take it out again.
     Depending on where the fluid is on the dipstick, you would know if you need more or
    less amount of fluid.

    9. What pulley drives the accessory (serpentine) belts on an engine? Could this pulley be
    considered the 'front of the engine? (Explain your answer)

    The crankshaft pulley is the pully that drives the serpentine. It could be considered the
    “front of the engine” because it is at the front of a engine.
    10. What is the purpose of the secondary hood latch? (include a picture of the placement of this
    latch)
    The secondary hood latch is used to fully open the hood. It is located at the front of a car.

    You must create this assignment in such a way that you will be able to go to the vehicles in the
    shop and use this assignment to find the location of these parts for the purpose of studying their
    location, so that you will eventually be able to be tested on them.

    How this assignment will look is completely up to you, so use your imagination. Please keep in
    mind that you must be able to send this assignment to me by email to be evaluated.
