Automotive Engine Parts Online

Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers once sang, "I'm gonna push a little harder, she ain't revved 'til the rods are thrown." If that’s your approach to driving your car, SUV, van, or truck, it's in your best interest to know all of your engine parts.

The Parts of Your Engine

First you have the engine block. It's home to the combustion chamber, where air and fuel mix together to produce the power you need. Other parts connect to the engine block as well. The engine's pistons pump vertically to pressurize the mixture of air and fuel. Intake valves manage the mixture levels, while the spark plugs ignite the mixture to fuel combustion. The camshaft opens and closes your valves, while the crankshaft transforms the vertical motion of the pistons into rotary motion that turns your wheels. Lastly, the oil pan stores the motor oil that lubricates the many moving parts.

How to Spot Engine Part Problems

Even the best engine components can begin to go bad, though. When that happens, your engine can't work as efficiently as it needs to. Signs of trouble include:

• Worsening fuel efficiency
• Difficulty with accelerating
• The engine idles rougher than normal
• Your engine repeatedly stalls
• Increased exhaust emissions
• You can't start your vehicle
• Your "Check Engine" dashboard light comes on
