Original Ford Engine Parts

Frequently Asked Questions

What Each Part of an Engine Does

• Intake valves regulate the ratio of air to fuel in the engine
• Pistons pressurize the mixture of oxygen and gas
• Spark plugs ignite the combination, helping crank (i.e., start) the engine
• Exhaust valves regulate the fumes created in the process
• Valve covers provide protection for all the engine valves
• The camshaft helps make sure the valves open and close appropriately
• The cylinder head helps prevent gases and oil leakage
• The crankshaft transforms engine power into rotary motion
• The drive shafts and transmission use rotation to turn wheels and spin tires
• The oil pan, also called an oil sump, stores the motor oil that the engine uses to lubricate everything
• Things like gears, bearings, sprockets, and rings ensure the engine fits together properly and runs right

Any can stop working. When they do, engine trouble results. Luckily, there are signs to look for.
