What is the function of a cool air intake?

The cool air intake is mainly to keep the engine oxygenated and allows for a higher performance and efficiency of the engine. This also keeps the engine from over heating. Its mostly performance based.


What is the main function of the gudgeon pin?

The main function of the gudgeon pin is to connect the piston to the connecting rod in an internal combustion engine. It allows for the rotational motion of the connecting rod to be converted into the linear motion of the piston. This pin must be strong and durable, as it experiences significant forces during engine operation. Proper lubrication and fit are essential to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation.


What is the main function of lifters in a motor?

The main function of lifters in a motor is to transfer the motion of the camshaft into vertical motion to actuate the valves. This vertical motion allows the valves to open and close at the appropriate times to let air and fuel into the engine and exhaust gases out.


How do water and oil mix in a water cooled engine?

They do not mix, the oil and water circulate in separate closed systems within the engine block. The water is pumped through the radiator, then through special channels in the engine in order to cool it by means of heat transfer. The the oil is pumped from the oil pan to the head, pistons, crank, and other essential engine components. If the water and oil in your engine do happen to mix it's typically a problem due to a blown head gasket, or cracked or warped cylinder head. Failure to repair this condition can result in engine failure.
