No Parts Definition/Function
.
1 Connecting Rod  Changes the reciprocating motion of piston into rotary
motion at crankshaft
 Transmits the power produced at piston to crankshaft
2 Cylinder Block  Holds engine component (pistons, cylinders, camshaft and
oil pump)
 Hold crankshaft that converts rotating motion to
reciprocating motion
3 Cylinder Head  Carries inlet and exhaust valve.
(4-stroke)  An injector is also mounted on cylinder head
4 Cylinder Liner  Forms a sliding surface for the piston rings while retaining
the lubricant within
 Receives combustion heat through the piston and piston
rings and transmits the heat to the coolant.
 Prevents the compressed gas and combustion gas from
escaping
5 Crank Pin  Transfer power and motion to the crank shaft which come
from piston through connecting rod
6 Crank Shaft  Receives oscillating motion from connecting rod and gives a
rotary motion to the main shaft.
 Drives the camshaft which actuate the valves of the engine
7 Cam Shaft  Takes driving force from crankshaft through gear chain
 Operates the inlet and exhaust valve with the help of cam
followers,push rod and rocker arms
8 Crosshead  A beam that connects the piston rod to the connecting rod
9 Crosshead Guide Allowing the crosshead to only move in the same direction
as the piston travel
10 Fuel Injector  Delivers fuel in fine spray under pressure

11 Fuel Pump  Deliver metered amount of fuel into cylinder through fuel
delivery pipe & fuel injector
12 Inlet Valve &  Inlet valve allow the fresh charge of air-fuel mixture to
Exhaust Valve enter the cylinder bore
(4-stroke)  Exhaust valve permits the burnt gases to escape from the
cylinder bore at proper timing
13 Gudgeon Pin  Connects the piston with small end of connecting rod.
(4-Stroke)
14 Governor  Controls the speed of engine at a different load by
regulating fuel supply in diesel engine.
15 Piston Rings  Prevents the compressed charge of fuel-air mixture from
leaking to the other side of the piston.
 Oil rings used for removing lubricating oil from the cylinder
after lubrication.
 Prevents the excess oil to mix with charge.
16 Piston Skirt  Carries gudgeon pin and rub against liner.
17 Push rod &  Push rods sit on the cam so when engine is running
Rocker arm (4-  Push rods go up and down in a timed sequence and with
stroke) the rocker arms, open and close the inlet and exhaust valves.
18 Piston  Compresses air in between cylinder head and piston crown.
19 Scavenge Ports  Pushes exhausted gas-charge out of the cylinder
(2-stroke)  Draw in a fresh draught of air ready for the next cycle.
20 Stuffing Box  A type of seal that prevents fluids from leaking inside of
machine parts.
21 Turbocharger  A device that uses the energy of exhaust gases coming out
from an engine to compress the air going into the engine.
