  4. Cylinder head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_head

    In a flathead (sidevalve) engine, all of the valvetrain components are contained within the block, therefore the head is usually a simple plate of metal bolted to the top of the engine block. Sidevalve engines were once universal but are now largely obsolete in automobiles, found almost exclusively in small engines such as lawnmowers, weed ...

  5. Automotive engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_engine

    The chief characteristic of an automotive engine (compared to a stationary engine or a marine engine) is a high power-to-weight ratio. This is achieved by using a high rotational speed. However, automotive engines are sometimes modified for marine use, forming a marine automobile engine.

  6. Combustion chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_chamber

    In an internal combustion engine, the pressure caused by the burning air/fuel mixture applies direct force to part of the engine (e.g. for a piston engine, the force is applied to the top of the piston), which converts the gas pressure into mechanical energy (often in the form of a rotating output shaft). This contrasts an external combustion ...

  7. Ceramic engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_engine

    A ceramic engine is an internal combustion engine made from specially engineered ceramic materials. Ceramic engines allow for the compression and expansion of gases at extremely high temperatures without loss of heat or engine damage. [1] Proof-of-concept ceramic engines were popularized by successful studies in the early 1980s and 1990s.

  8. Rotary engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_engine

    The rotary engine is an early type of internal combustion engine, usually designed with an odd number of cylinders per row in a radial configuration. The engine's crankshaft remained stationary in operation, while the entire crankcase and its attached cylinders rotated around it as a unit.

  9. V5 engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V5_engine

    The only V5 automobile engine to reach production was the 2.3 L (140 cu in) "VR5" engine manufactured by Volkswagen from 1997 to 2006. Based on Volkswagen's VR6 engine, the VR5 was a narrow-angle engine with staggered cylinders (three cylinders on one bank and two on the other) sharing a single cylinder head. [3]
