Engine cooling system: principle of operation and main components
Your car's engine runs best at high temperatures. When the engine is cold, components wear out easily, more pollutants are emitted, and the engine becomes less efficient. Thus, another important task of the cooling system is to warm up the engine as quickly as possible, and then maintain a constant engine temperature. The main function of the cooling system is to maintain the optimum operating temperature of the engine. If the cooling system, or any part of it, fails, the engine will overheat, which can lead to many serious problems. Have you ever imagined what would happen if your engine cooling system didn't work properly? Overheating can cause head gaskets to explode and even crack cylinder blocks if the problem is severe enough. And all this heat must be fought. If heat is not removed from...

car intake system
Your vehicle's air intake system draws air from outside into the engine. But do you know exactly how it works? Here's what you need to know. There are a handful of car owners who aren't entirely sure what an air intake system does, how it works, and how important it is to a car. In the 1980s, the first air intake systems were offered, which consisted of molded plastic intake tubes and a cone-shaped cotton gauze air filter. Ten years later, foreign manufacturers began to import popular Japanese air intake system designs for the compact sports car market. Now, thanks to technological advances and the ingenuity of engineers, intake systems are available as metal tubes, allowing for a greater degree of customization. The pipes are usually powder coated or painted to match the color of the vehicle.Now,…

Inlet valve
In this edition we will talk about intake and exhaust valves, however, before going into details, we will put these elements in context for a better understanding. The engine needs a means to distribute the intake and exhaust gases, to control and move them through the manifold to the intake manifold, combustion chamber and exhaust manifold. This is achieved through a series of mechanisms that form a system called distribution. An internal combustion engine requires a fuel-air mixture, which, when burned, drives the mechanisms of the engine. In the manifold, the air is filtered and sent to the intake manifold, where the fuel mixture is metered through systems such as a carburetor or injection. The finished mixture enters the combustion chamber, where this gas burns and, thus, converts thermal energy into mechanical energy. After finishing…
What is an engine block?
What is an engine block (and what does it do)? The engine block, also known as the cylinder block, contains all of the major components that make up the underside of the engine. Here the crankshaft rotates, and the pistons move up and down in the cylinder bores, ignited by the combustion of fuel. In some engine designs, it also holds the camshaft. Usually made of aluminum alloy on modern cars, usually made of cast iron on older cars and trucks. Its metal construction gives it strength and the ability to efficiently transfer heat from combustion processes to the integrated cooling system. The aluminum block usually has a pressed iron bushing for the piston bores or a special hard coating applied to the bores after machining. Initially, the block was just a metal block holding the cylinder bores,…
