The piston is connected to the crankshaft via the connecting rod. The connecting rod converts the linear motion of the piston, which moves up and down in the cylinder, into the rotational motion of the crankshaft. This transformation is essential for the operation of internal combustion engines, as it enables the power generated by the combustion process to be harnessed for vehicle movement.

well there is a crank shaft which the piston connects to and is the thing that spins out the engine, there is also cranks on old cars to start them on the front


Connecting rods connect the piston to what?

The connecting rod has a "wrist pin" which goes through the side of the piston and through the connecting rod. It is one of the most critical fit parts of an engine.The connecting rod or con rod connects the piston to the crank or crankshaft!!!


What is a crank pulley?

Crank pulley Piston connects to the crank shaft. One side of the crank shaft connects to the transmission and the other side connects to the crank pulley. It serves two main purpose. First one is it is used to time the engine (marks etched into it by manufacture) the other is to power other devices such as the alternator or power steering via a belt system (older cars used chain and gear sys). It is usually found closes to the bottom of the engine at the front, just follow the belts to the bottom.

What is the function of crank shaft?

crnke shaft is the one which is attached with piston trough gudgeon pin or swift pin. Its main use is to rotate the piston in rotary motion with the help of counter weight,due to which piston resiprocate up and down.

There are many components but the most noteable are the block, head, crankcase, cylinder, piston, piston rod, crank shaft, camshaft, and flywheel.


What does a timing belt do?

A timing belt links the crank shaft to the cam shaft(s) mechanically, to keep the cam(s) turning at the same rate as the crank, at a given, possibly variable ratio. that allows the right valves to be open at the right time during each stroke made by a piston. piston connects to crank, crank to cam, cam to valve. Make sense? No it doesn't make sense, even though linked together by the timing belt the camshaft and crankshaft to not turn at the same speed, just look at the size of the camshaft pulley and the crankshaft pulley as they are different sizes the speeds are different!


Would a bad rear main seal leak transmission fluid?

No a rear main seal is the rear seal on the crank shaft of the engine. That portion of the engine is wear the crank shaft connects to the clutch and pressure plate (manual transmission) or where it connects to the torque convertor automatic transmission.


What is a crank sensor plate?

A crank sensor plate , is attached to the crank shaft . it has little notches in it , that tell the ecu what piston is top dead center, sending the spark and fuel to the correct piston at correct time assisted by the cam senor which tells the ecu what position the valve is in.
