A very detailed, part-by-part explanation of an ICE with animated guides showing how things fall into place.
The article includes some good information on why engine parts are shaped and fitted in certain ways. Some cool tidbit you'll learn:
- Why crank and piston bolts are tightened to a particular torque.
- Why piston rings have gaps in them.
- Crankshaft bearings are not centered and rotate drowned in oil without touching the sides.
- Lots of tiny details on why parts are shaped in a certain way - piston skirts, valve retainers, valve seals, cams.
- How camshafts tune the operation of the engine.
- How torque is generated from the cylinder depicted with animated plotted graphs.
- Purpose of the flywheel.
