What determines the final firing order on a normal car engine?
The way the crankshaft is built. Which controls the order that the pistons move up and down.
What happens if the crankshaft stops working?
The pistons stop going up and down.
Crankshaft is locking up when you tighten down your pistons?
wrong size bearings
How does the egine make the car move?
The engine has a crankshaft that is connected to all the pistons in the engine. When the engine is running the pistons are moving up and down and are turning this crankshaft. The crankshaft in turn is spinning a shaft connected to the transmission. The transmission is turning a driveshaft that is connected to the differential which in turn is turning an axle connected to the wheels.
What is the purpose of the crank shaft?
The crankshaft is an internal component of the engine that converts an up and down movement of the pistons to a rotational movement of the the crankshaft. This is provided to the powertrain for movement. The bottom of the pistons are attached to the crankshaft with main bearings.
What is the crankshoft?
A crankshaft is the part of an automobile that converts the force of the engine's pistons going up and down into the force that makes the wheels spin forward so that you can move. All cars require a crankshaft, and it is possible for them to need repairing.
What engine parts that move up and down?
pistons, cams, valves
What is the function of the crankshaft?
To turn a linear motion into a rotary motion.
The Car Needs Petrol Because?
Car engines burn fuel in cylinders. When the fuel burns the air in the cylinders expands. The expanding air pushes down on a piston. The piston pushes down on a crankshaft. Then the piston comes back up. The piston going down and up makes the crankshaft rotate. This rotating motion is transferred to the wheels of the car. That pushes the car along. Thus the fuel burning in the cylinders pushes the pistons. Without Petrol to burn in the cylinders, the pistons would not push the crankshaft. It would not make the wheels move.
What are the positions of the pistons on a 1992 V6 engine?
in the engine and they move up and down when it is running
Where is the crankshaft on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee?
Generally speaking the crankshaft is located deep within the engine. The pistons are connected to the crankshaft and it is the device that turns the up and down motion of the pistons into a horizontal motion that drives the transmission and in turn the drive shafts that turn the wheels. If you ever have an opportunity to see your crankshaft that means your engine has been torn completely apart for a major overhaul.
How does a motobike engine work?
there are pistons in the motorbike and the move up and down and it makes the cog move then the chain moves the bike
