2. Head gasket - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

   In an internal combustion engine, a head gasket provides the seal between the engine block and cylinder head(s). Its purpose is to seal the combustion gases within the cylinders and to avoid coolant or engine oil leaking into the cylinders. [1] Leaks in the head gasket can cause poor engine running and/or overheating.

3. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

   The oil pump is an internal combustion engine part that circulates engine oil under pressure to the rotating bearings, the sliding pistons and the camshaft of the engine. This lubricates the bearings, allows the use of higher-capacity fluid bearings , and also assists in cooling the engine.

4. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

   A head gasket prevents the gas from leaking between the cylinder head and the engine block. ... includes the oil pump used to lubricate the engine, which is a ...

5. Hydrolock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrolock

   In most steam engine designs there is a short time at the end of the return stroke of the piston when all the valves are shut and it is compressing any remaining steam. Water can be introduced from the boiler or in a cold engine, steam will condense to water on the cool walls of the cylinders and can potentially hydrolock an engine.

6. Rocker cover - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocker_cover

   A rocker cover gasket (valve cover gasket in the US and Canada) is used to seal the joint between the cover and engine head. Failure of the gasket can cause oil to leak from the engine. A head gasket is used to seal the joint between the head and the engine block.

7. Automobile engine replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_engine_replacement

   A short block is an engine sub-assembly comprising the portion of the cylinder block below the head gasket but above the oil pan, [4] which usually includes the assembled engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons with piston rings properly installed. [5]

8. Dry sump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

   The dry-sump system uses two or more oil pumps and a separate oil reservoir, as opposed to a conventional wet-sump system, which uses only the main sump (U.S.: oil pan) below the engine and a single pump. A dry-sump engine requires a pressure relief valve to regulate negative pressure inside the engine, so internal seals are not inverted.

9. Motor oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_oil

   An oil pump, a vane or gear pump powered by the engine, pumps the oil throughout the engine, including the oil filter. Oil filters can be a full flow or bypass type. In the crankcase of a vehicle engine, motor oil lubricates rotating or sliding surfaces between the crankshaft journal bearings (main bearings and big-end bearings) and rods ...
