The parts of a car engine are important to understand, especially for those of you who own a car. This way, you can better understand the proper maintenance of these parts. As is known, the car engine is like the heart of the car. If this part has problems, the car's performance can drop drastically. In fact, the car may not be able to run at all. Let's find out more about the car engine parts below.

Car Engine Parts and Their Functions and Images

There are several car engine parts that you must know, so you can determine the right steps when these parts have problems. Here are the complete parts along with their functions.

1. Head Cylinder

Head Cylinder

The first part is the head cylinder. This part can be found at the top of the car engine, and is located close to other parts such as the cylinder block. The head cylinder functions as a cooler for the engine components inside it to prevent them from expanding easily. To perform its function well, the head cylinder is intentionally made from aluminum and iron materials. Inside the head cylinder, there are several components such as intake valves, exhaust valves, cylinder head cover, rocker arm, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, spark plugs, and camshaft.

2. Cylinder Block

Cylinder Block

The cylinder block is located at the top of the engine along with the head cylinder. The cylinder block functions as a place for the piston to move up and down and as a container that supports other engine components. Starting from the piston, piston rings, crankshaft, gasket, drain plug, oil reservoir, engine pulley, gasket, to the flywheel are supported by the cylinder block.

3. Cooling System

This part houses several engine components that play a crucial role, starting from the timing chain cover, timing chain assembly, oil cap, drive belt, to the starter motor. This part is important when starting the engine, as components like the starter motor will supply electrical current from the battery as power.

5. Lubrication System

Car Lubrication System

This part functions as a system that plays an important role in the successful lubrication of car engine components. This way, all engine components can be perfectly lubricated, preventing excessive friction between components. This condition can extend the wear life of car engine components. Within the lubrication system, there are several components such as the oil pump that pumps engine oil. Oil filters and mesh filters function to filter out all dust and dirt present in the oil.
