Introduction To Internal: Combustion Engines

: The camshaft operates the intake and exhaust valves , which regulate the flow of fresh air/fuel into the cylinder and the release of burnt gases.

An IC engine is built from a mix of stationary and moving parts that work together to produce power. Introduction to Internal Combustion Engines

: The piston moves back and forth (reciprocating motion) within the cylinder. Piston rings ensure a tight seal to prevent gas leakage and manage lubrication. : The camshaft operates the intake and exhaust

: The connecting rod links the piston to the crankshaft . Together, they transform the piston's linear "up and down" movement into the rotational force that turns wheels. Introduction to Internal Combustion Engines
