What are the components of an engine block assembly?
1 Answers
An engine block assembly consists of the valve cover, cylinder head, cylinder block, and oil pan. The cylinder head contains the camshaft, valve tappets, and valve body, while the cylinder block houses the piston, which is equipped with piston rings. The piston is connected to the connecting rod below, which in turn is linked to the crankshaft. The engine block is the most critical component of an automotive engine, serving to provide installation and support for various engine parts, ensuring the precise positioning of moving components such as pistons, connecting rods, and the crankshaft during operation, as well as facilitating engine ventilation, cooling, and lubrication. Engine maintenance methods include: 1. Using high-quality engine oil; 2. Using qualified coolant; 3. Regularly cleaning radiator scale; 4. Periodically removing carbon deposits from the car; 5. Timely replacement of the car's three filters; 6. Maintaining reasonable engine speed.
