Slide 1

Internal combustion engine is either gasoline or diesel design. They are different because of the method used for burning the fuel. The mechanical operation of each style of engine is nearly identical. In an engine, fuel is burned to create mechanical motion.

Slide 2

Cylinder block assembly Exhaust system Valve train Lubrication system Intake system Cooling system

Slide 3

Combustion is the process of igniting a mixture of air and fuel at the correct time. In the combustion process a mixture of air and fuel is drawn into a cylinder. The compressed mixture is ignited to create energy for vehicle motion.

Slide 4

The air/fuel ratio is the amount of air compared to the amount of fuel. The ideal air/fuel ratio when using gasoline is 14.7 to 1. This means there are 14.7 parts of air to one part of fuel.

Slide 5

Slide 6

The ratio will fluctuate between 12 to 1 as a rich mixture and 18 to 1 which is a lean mixture. A rich mixture means there is more fuel in the combustion chamber. A lean mixture means there is less fuel

Slide 7

1.What two designs can a internal combustion engine be? Gasoline and Diesel 2.Summarize 4 major components of the engine? Lubrication system, Valve train, Exhaust system, Engine block, Intake system, Cooling system 3.Combustion is the process of igniting a mixture of --------- and ------------. Air and Fuel 4.12:1 Air /Fuel ratio is an example of a ---------- mixture Rich mixture 5.Why do you think we burn fuel in a engine? To create energy motion to move the vehicle

Slide 8

Internal combustion engines can be powered by different fuels. Gasoline is the fuel designed for spark- ignition. All of the necessary gasoline additives are added during the manufacturing process ; no additional aftermarket additives are necessary The result is a carefully blended fuel that is adjusted seasonally.

Slide 9

the fuel system Is designed to break the liquid fuel into a vapor and mix them with air.

Slide 10

When combustion occurs, the high pressure pushes the piston down in the cylinder. The piston is connected to a connecting rod, which is connected to the crankshaft. The connecting rod and crankshaft convert the up and down motion of the piston into rotary motion.

Slide 11

Slide 12

As combustion occurs in each cylinder, pulses of energy are transferred from the pistons to the crankshaft. The flywheel, which is a heavy round metal plate attached to one end of the crankshaft.

Slide 13

Slide 14

1 How would you summarize the fuel system? 2What would result if we used fuel additives in the fuel system ? 3Explain what pushes the piston down in the cylinder? 4How would you explain the part, that converts up and down motion to rotary motion?

Slide 15

It is the distance the piston slides up or down from TDC to BDC This takes half a turn of the crankshaft, 180 degrees for one stroke TDC - Top Dead Centre BDC - Bottom Dead Centre

Slide 16

Requires 4 piston strokes to complete one cycle or (series of event) For every four strokes the engine produces one power stroke (useful energy) Almost all automobiles use the four stroke cycle engine

Slide 17

The intake valve is open and the exhaust valve is closed The piston slides down and forms a low-pressure area or vacuum in the cylinder Outside Air pressure pushes the fuel and air into the engine combustion chamber.

Slide 18

Squeezes the air-fuel mixture to prepare it for combustion (controlled burning) The mixture is more combustible when pressurized During this stroke the piston slides up the cylinder while both of the valves are closed in the combustion chamber

Slide 19

The spark plug ignites and burns the air/fuel charge driving the piston downward with tremendous force. Since both valves are closed, pressure forms on the top of the piston This is the only stroke that does not consume energy

Slide 20

Removes the burnt gases from the engine and readies the cylinder for a fresh charge of air/fuel mixture During this stroke the piston moves up the cylinder, the intake valve is closed the exhaust valve is open The burnt gases are pushed out the exhaust port into the exhaust pipes

Slide 21

The engine must rotate two complete revolutions to complete the four stroke cycle, the crankshaft rotates 720 degrees.

Slide 22

Slide 23

Bottom end refers to the block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and related parts. Another name for this is the Short Block. It is an assembled block without cylinder heads and manifolds.

Slide 24

It forms the main body of the engine. Other parts bolt to or fit inside the block Cylinder are large round holes machined through the block from the top to bottom

Slide 25

The deck Is the top of the block surrounding the cylinders It is machined perfectly flat The cylinder head bolts to the deck Water Jackets Are coolant passages through the block. They allow a solution of water and antifreeze to cool the cylinders

Slide 26

Are round metal plugs on the outside of the block. They seal holes left in the block after casting (manufacturing) They prevent coolant from leaking out the water jackets

Slide 27

Main Bearing Bores are holes machined in the bottom end to hold the crankshaft Main Caps Bolt to the bottom of the block and hold the crank shaft in place

Slide 28

Harness the tremendous force produced by the downward thrust of the pistons. It changes up and down motion of the piston into rotating motion The crank fits into the engine block journals

Slide 29

Counterweights are formed on the crankshaft to prevent vibration they counter act the weight of the rods and pistons Crank snout sticks through the front of the block it provides a mounting point for the chain, damper and fan pulley Crankshaft Flange holds the flywheel the flywheel bolts to the flange *The journals are arranged so 1 cylinder is always on the power stroke

Slide 30

1. What is the 4 strokes of the engine? 2. What is the short block? 3. What is the deck? 4. What is the purpose of the core plugs ? 5. What does the crankshaft do?

Slide 31

Are removable inserts that fit between the block main bore and the crankshaft main journals The other half fits into the block main caps Oil holes on the upper bearing line up with holes on the block

Slide 32

Limits how far the crankshaft can slide forward or rearward in the block This limits the crankshaft endplay Normally one of the main bearing serves as a thrust bearing

Slide 33

Steel is normally used for the bearing body or backing which is in contact with the stationary part of the engine Softer alloys are bonded over the backing to form the bearing surface (plating) They use Babbitt- lead tin alloy copper or aluminum

Slide 34

Bearings operate under tremendous loads, severe temperature variations and abrasive conditions Bearing load strength : bearings ability to withstand the pounding and crushing during engine operation this can be several tons of force Bearing conformability: is the bearings ability to adjust to imperfections in the journal surface

Slide 35

Bearing embedability: the bearings ability to absorb dirt, metal or other hard particles they should be able to sink into the bearing material Bearing Corrosion resistance: the bearings ability to withstand being acted on by acids, water and other contaminates in the oil

Slide 36

The bearing is made slightly larger in diameter than the bearing bore This helps prevent the bearing from spinning inside the bore

Slide 37

STANDARD BEARINGUNDERSIZE BEARING Has the original dimensions specified by the manufacturer For a new, unworn, or unmachined crankshaft Designed to be used on crankshafts that have been machined to a smaller diameter A machine shop can grind down the journals if they have been damaged

Slide 38

Slide 39

It is the space between the crankshaft main journal and the main bearing insert The clearance allows lubricating oil to enter and separate the journal and bearing

Slide 40

1. What material can be used on the bearing surface? 2. What are the two types of crank bearings? 3. What is bearing crush? 4. What are the sizes of a bearing? (hint if we have the crankshaft machined)

Slide 41

It fastens the piston to the crankshaft It transfers piston movement and combustion pressure to the crankshaft rod journals.

Slide 42

I Beam is the centre section of the rod The shape provides very high strength to weight ratio The rod cap bolts to the bottom of the rod body The rod has a Lower end, and a Top end

Slide 43

It transfers pressure of the combustion (expending gases) to the connecting rod Piston Head must be shaped to match and work with the shape of the combustion chamber

Slide 44

Are slots machined in the piston for the rings The upper two grooves hold the compression rings The lower piston groove holds the oil rings

Slide 45

Piston ring lands: is the area between and above the ring grooves Piston Skirt: is the side of the piston below the last ring, it keeps the piston from tipping in the cylinder

Slide 46

It allows the piston to swing on the connecting rod The pin fits into the small end of the connecting rod

Slide 47

They seal the clearance between the outer side of the piston and the cylinder wall They must keep combustion pressure from entering the crankcase

Slide 48

Combustion pressure pushes the compression rings down in their grooves and out against the cylinder wall This produces an almost leak proof seal

Slide 49

They prevent engine oil from entering the combustion chamber They scrap excess oil off the cylinder wall If too much oil entered the combustion chamber blue smoke would appear in the exhaust

Slide 50

1. What gives the connecting rod its strength? 2. What are ring grooves? 3. What is the piston skirt? 4. What are the two different rings used on the piston? 5. What function does the wrist pin perform?

Slide 51

Refers to the cylinder heads, valves camshaft and other related components These parts work together to control the flow of air/fuel into the engine cylinders They also control the flow of exhaust out of the engine

Slide 52

Bolts to the deck of the cylinder block It covers and encloses the top of the cylinders Combustion chambers are small pockets formed in the cylinder heads

Slide 53

The intake and exhaust ports are cast into the heads Intake routes air and fuel into the combustion chamber Exhaust ports routes burned gases out of the engine

Slide 54

Are round machined surfaces in the combustion chamber port openings. When the valve is closed, it seals against the valve seat

Slide 55

It consists of the valves and the parts that operate them e.g. camshaft, lifters, rocker arm, and pushrods The valve train must open and close the valves at the correct time

Slide 56

Has lobes that open each valve It can be located in the engine block or in the cylinder head Cam Lobes: Are egg shaped protrusions (bumps) machined on the camshaft

Slide 57

Also called a Tappet usually rides on the camshaft lobes and transfers motion to the rest of the valve train They fit in the lifter bores which are machined holes In the block or heads

Slide 58

They transfer motion between the lifter and the rocker arm They are used when the camshaft is located in the block A push rod is a hollow metal tube with a ball formed on each end

Slide 59

Are used to change direction and transfer motion to the valves They mount on top of the cylinder head They are a pivot mechanism allowing them to rock back and forth

Slide 60

1. What does the word top end refer to? 2. What are cylinder heads? 3. What is the valve trains job? 4. What rides on top of the camshaft? 5. What is the rocker arms function?

Slide 61

Engine valves open and close the ports in the cylinder head There use to be only 2 valves per cylinder 1 Intake and 1 exhaust valve The Intake valve is bigger then the exhaust valve

Slide 62

It controls the flow of air fuel mixture into the combustion chamber Its the larger of the two valves

Slide 63

Controls the flow of exhaust gases out of the cylinder The valve closes the port leading to the exhaust manifold

Slide 64

Prevents oil from entering the combustion chamber through the valve guides Without valve seals, oil could be drawn into the engine cylinders and burned causing blue smoke

Slide 65

It is used to close the valves. It has keepers that fit into grooves cut in the valve stem, this locks and retains the spring.

Slide 66

Bolts to the side of the side of the cylinder head or heads. On newer engines the fuel injectors and throttle body mount on the intake Older engines the carburetor mounts on it

Slide 67

Also bolts to the cylinder head. It fastens over the exhaust ports to carry burned gases into the exhaust system. Can be made out of cast iron or light weight aluminum.

Slide 68

Also called the rocker cover its a cover over the top of the cylinder head. It simply keeps valve train oil spray from leaking out of the engine.
