A piston is a component of reciprocating engines. It is located in a cylinder and is made gas-tight by piston rings. Its purpose is to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft via a piston rod and/or connecting rod. In two-stroke engines the piston also acts as a valve by covering and uncovering ports in the cylinder ...
The Volkswagen air-cooled engine is an air-cooled, gasoline -fuelled, boxer engine with four horizontally opposed cast-iron cylinders, cast aluminum alloy cylinder heads and pistons, magnesium -alloy crankcase, and forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods . There are two distinct families/variations of the aircooled engine namely Type 1 and ...
The Volvo Modular Engine is a family of straight-four, straight-five, and straight-six automobile piston engines that was produced by Volvo Cars in Skövde, [15] Sweden from 1990 [16] until 2016. All engines feature an aluminum engine block and aluminum cylinder head, forged steel connecting rods, aluminum pistons and double overhead camshafts.
Volvo Engine Architecture. The Volvo Engine Architecture[ 13] ( VEA) is a family of straight-three and straight-four automobile petrol and diesel engines produced by Volvo Cars in Skövde, [ 30] Sweden, since 2013, [ 31] Zhangjiakou, [ 32] China since 2016 [ 33] and Tanjung Malim, Malaysia since 2022 by Proton.

The new fuel-saving engine presented at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. identification parts code prefix: 04E, ID code: CHYA, CHYB, CHZD, CSEB, DHSB engine displacement & engine configuration
A connecting rod, also called a 'con rod', [ 1][ 2][ 3] is the part of a piston engine which connects the piston to the crankshaft. Together with the crank, the connecting rod converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotation of the crankshaft. [ 4] The connecting rod is required to transmit the compressive and tensile forces ...
A hydraulic tappet, also known as a hydraulic valve lifter or hydraulic lash adjuster, is a device for maintaining zero valve clearance in an internal combustion engine. Conventional solid valve lifters require regular adjusting to maintain a small clearance between the valve and its rocker or cam follower. This space prevents the parts from ...
A reciprocating engine, also often known as a piston engine, is typically a heat engine that uses one or more reciprocating pistons to convert high temperature and high pressure into a rotating motion. [ 1] This article describes the common features of all types. The main types are: the internal combustion engine, used extensively in motor ...
