Coolant Systems
These are passages in the engine block that coolant flows through.
Water Jacket
This stroke pulls the air fuel mixture in the cylinder.
Intake stroke
This component connects the piston to the connecting rod.
Wrist Pin
These allow the air and fuel to enter and exhaust to exit the cylinder.
Valves
this is how often you should change your engine oil and filter.
3000 miles
These are designed to help protect the engine block from cracking by pushing out if your antifreeze concentration is too low and freezes.
Freeze Plugs
In this stroke the air fuel mixture is squeezed together.
Compression Stroke
This internal engine component absorbs wear to protect the rotating parts.
Bearings (rod, main, and cam)
These are passages in the engine that oil flows through (the veins of the engine)
Oil Galleries
This is what the "W" stands for in 10W30.
Winter
This is the tool best suited to measure the antifreeze concentration in the coolant mixture.
Refractometer
This stroke is when an explosion happens in the cylinder and pushes the piston down.
Power Stroke
This part is responsible for suppling oil to the engine (the heart of the engine).
Oil Pump
These components keep oil and antifreeze inside the engine and in their separate cavities.
Gaskets and seals
This means how thick the oil is.
Oil viscosity
This part is responsible for moving coolant through the engine.
Water Pump
This stroke pushes the burnt fuel and air gasses out of the engine.
Exhaust Stroke
This system ensures the valves open and close at the right time.
Timing set
This links the crankshaft to the pulleys for other accessories to ensure they turn when the crankshaft turns.
Serpentine belt
This is how much oil you should add when the level is on the ADD mark on the dipstick.
1 Quart
These are the two types of engine cooling fan drives.
Belt driven and electric
this stroke creates the most pressure on the head bolts.
Power Stroke
These are the three major components of the rotating assembly.
Crankshaft, camshaft, and piston assembly
These parts ride on the camshaft and push the push rods up and down on an overhead valve engine.
Lifters
These are 3 types of internal combustion engines.
4 stroke, 2 stroke, and rotary
