Four stroke cycle : Intake, Compression, Power, Exhaust

Piston : Turn rotation from crankshaft into vertical movement to intake, compress, and push out fuel

Wrist pin : Holds the Piston to the connecting rod

Rings : Seal the combustion chamber from outside as to not let oil inside or fuel out

Connecting rod : Connects piston to crankshaft

Bearings : The bearing separates a crankshaft or connecting rod from the part it is connected to to let its spin easier

Thrust bearing : The thrust bearing prevents the crankshaft from back and forth movement

Water Pump and Thermostat : To circulate coolant, Thermostat opens and allowed coolant to flow once engine to warmed up

Rad Pressure Cap : Regulates pressure on hoses and radiator

Timing gears/pulleys : Timing gear and pulleys keep the Crankshaft and Camshaft in sync

Timing belts/chains : Timing belts and chain keep the Crankshaft and Camshaft in sync

Crankshaft : Rotates to make piston go up and down to create combustion and sits in engine block

Camshaft : Ratio of 1:2 Spins to make valves open and close letting fuel in and out

Number of cylinders : 4,6,8

Bore : The diameter of a cylinder

Stroke : A piston movement from TDC to BDC

Connecting rod journal diameter : Diameter of where Connecting rod connects to crankshaft

Rocker arms : Transfer motion between valves

Push rod : Transfer motion between rocker arms and lifters

Intake valve : Valve that lets air and fuel into combustion chamber

Exhaust valve : Exhaust valve lets spent fuel out and is smaller

Valve spring : Forces valve closed so open camshaft power will open them

Cylinder head : Bolts to Cylinder deck to cover combustion chambers

Head Gasket : Bolts to Cylinder deck and heles seal combustion chamber

Deck : To of engine block

Engine Block : Where crankshaft and piston are stored

Water jacket : Area where coolant and water can be run thought engine
