(asic Engine 'arts
n a multi*cylinder engine+ the cylinders usually are arranged in one of three
!ays: inline+ Vor flat orhorizontally opposed.
Spark plugThe spark plug supplies the spark that ignites the air,fuel mixture so that
combustion can occur. The spark must happen at "ust the right moment for
things to !ork properly.
Valves
The intake and exhaust $al$es open at the proper time to let in air and fuel
and to let out exhaust. -ote that both $al$es are closed during compression
and combustion so that the combustion chamber is sealed.

PistonA piston is a cylindrical piece of metal that mo$es up and do!n inside the cylinder.
Connecting rod
The connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft. t can rotate atboth ends so that its angle can change as the piston mo$es and thecrankshaft rotates.
CrankshaftThe crankshaft turns the pistons up and do!n motion into circular motion"ust like a crank on a "ack*in*the*box does.
SumpThe sump surrounds the crankshaft. t contains some amount of oil+ !hichcollects in the bottom of the sump /the oil pan&.

for each of the four "obs+ !iththe piston mo$ing continuallyfrom one to the next.
n a rotary engine+ thepressure of combustion iscontained in a chamber
formed by part of the housingand sealed in by one face ofthe triangular rotor+ !hich is!hat the engine uses insteadof pistons.
