Car Engine Front View
Overview
The car engine front view is the side of the engine that is visible from the front of the vehicle. It typically includes the following components:
* The engine block
* The cylinder head
* The intake manifold
* The exhaust manifold
* The water pump
* The oil pump
* The alternator
* The power steering pump
* The air conditioning compressor
The engine block is the main housing of the engine and contains the cylinders, pistons, and crankshaft. The cylinder head is bolted to the top of the engine block and contains the valves and camshafts. The intake manifold is attached to the cylinder head and supplies air to the cylinders. The exhaust manifold is attached to the cylinder head and carries exhaust gases away from the cylinders. The water pump circulates coolant through the engine to keep it from overheating. The oil pump circulates oil through the engine to lubricate the moving parts. The alternator generates electrical power for the vehicle’s electrical system. The power steering pump provides hydraulic pressure to the power steering system. The air conditioning compressor circulates refrigerant through the air conditioning system to cool the vehicle’s interior.
