Having a basic knowledge and understanding of 350 engine parts helps one to understand the problem with the car whenever one is traveling in remote places and one may even fix the minor problems of the car on own. Some of the basic engine parts consist of the following:
- Piston – is a cylindrical metal piece, which moves up and down in the cylinder.
- Piston ring – It provides the sliding seal required between piston’s outer edge and cylinder’s inner edge. They prevent mixture of fuel or air and the combustion chambers exhaust leakage into sump during the compression and combustion. In addition, they keep sump oil leakage into combustion area avoiding its burning and loss.
- Spark plug – It supplies a timely and right amount of spark, which ignites the mixture of fuel or air for the combustion to occur.
- Valves – During combustion stroke, the intake valves control the fuel or air amount released into piston chamber. In addition, the exhaust valve releases burnt gas and fuel from piston chamber and outs the emissions through tail pipe. The timing of valve opening is important. For sealing of combustion chamber, during combustion, both these valves are closed.
- Crankshaft - receiving movement from piston’s strokes converts the up-down motion into circular giving an initial drive for moving the car.
- Flywheel – On combustion stroke, the piston is forced down and on exhaust stroke, the crankshaft based flywheel, a varying weight, brings piston up.
- Connecting rod - to connect piston and crankshaft.
- Sump- containing some oil surrounds the crankshaft.
Thus, anyone looking to buy and sale 350 engine parts can get good benefits by having knowledge about the various 350 engine parts.
