• Cylinder Block

The cylindrical part of the piston which contains the gudgeon pin bosses and grooves for the rings is known as:

• The Skirt

• Oil scraper ring

• Compression rings

• The crown

Connects the piston to the crankshaft

• Camshaft

• Timing Gear

• Connecting Rod

• Flywheel

Its main purpose is to open the valves

• Camshaft

• Timing Gear

• Connecting Rod

• Flywheel

Its purpose is to provide a positive drive and reduction gear between the crankshaft and the camshaft

• Camshaft

• Timing Gear
