The Valve is the piece that actually moves in and out, or "opens and closes" - the part of the block that the valve rests on is called the valve seat.

What are the parts attached to the cylinder block?

The cylinder head, which in overhead cam engines houses the camshaft that operates the inlet and exhaust valves and in side-valve engines houses the rocker arms that do the same thing- both via compression of tappets that link to the valve. Below the cylinder block is the crankshaft housing, or 'crankcase' in American terminology, which houses the crankshaft that co-ordinates and drives the pistons operating within the block.


Why must the oxygen cylinder valve be opened all the way to the top?

What is the difference between a cylinder head and a head gasket?

The cylinder head is a smaller block that (generally) sits on the top of the crankcase. It is the part of the engine where air is received and mixed with fuel, then passed into the block for the intake/compression/combustion cycle and then directs it out on the exhaust cycle. On OHC/OHV (OverHead Cam/OverHead Valve) engines, the cylinder head contains, at least, - with many more possibilities - the intake and exhaust valves (one or more of each per cylinder), the camshaft(s), either a belt or chain for timing the cams and valves to the movement of the pistons, fuel injectors (if present), and various types of apparatus to operate the opening and closing of the valves including mechanical or hydraulic systems for valve movement and sensors such as a MAF (Mass Air Flow), PCV (Portioning Control Valve), and/or EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve. The head gasket is the gasket that goes between the cylinder head and the crankcase or block of the engine.

Is a valve gasket and a head gasket the same thing?
