## Front Engine Car Parts
### Engine Block
The engine block is the main structural component of the engine. It houses the cylinders, crankshaft, and other internal engine components. The engine block is typically made of cast iron or aluminum alloy.
### Cylinder Head
The cylinder head is located on top of the engine block and seals the combustion chambers. It houses the valves, spark plugs, and other components that control the flow of air and fuel into and out of the cylinders. The cylinder head is typically made of aluminum alloy or cast iron.
### Pistons
The pistons are located inside the cylinders and move up and down to compress the air-fuel mixture and create power. The pistons are typically made of aluminum alloy or forged steel.
### Piston Rings
The piston rings are located on the pistons and seal the gap between the pistons and the cylinder walls. They prevent air-fuel mixture from leaking out of the combustion chambers and oil from entering the combustion chambers. The piston rings are typically made of cast iron or steel.
### Connecting Rods
The connecting rods connect the pistons to the crankshaft. They convert the up-and-down motion of the pistons into the rotary motion of the crankshaft. The connecting rods are typically made of forged steel or aluminum alloy.
### Crankshaft
The crankshaft is located at the bottom of the engine and converts the rotary motion of the connecting rods into the up-and-down motion of the pistons. The crankshaft is typically made of forged steel or cast iron.
### Camshaft
The camshaft is located in the cylinder head and controls the opening and closing of the valves. It is driven by the crankshaft through a timing belt or chain. The camshaft is typically made of cast iron or steel.
### Timing Belt or Chain
The timing belt or chain synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. It ensures that the valves open and close at the correct times. The timing belt or chain is typically made of rubber or metal.
### Water Pump
The water pump circulates coolant through the engine to keep it cool. The water pump is typically driven by the crankshaft through a belt or chain. The water pump is typically made of cast iron or aluminum alloy.
### Oil Pump
The oil pump circulates oil through the engine to lubricate the moving parts. The oil pump is typically driven by the crankshaft through a belt or chain. The oil pump is typically made of cast iron or aluminum alloy.
### Fuel Injector
The fuel injector sprays fuel into the combustion chambers. The fuel injector is typically controlled by the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU). The fuel injector is typically made of plastic or metal.
### Spark Plug
The spark plug creates a spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chambers. The spark plug is typically made of ceramic or metal.
### Exhaust Manifold
The exhaust manifold collects the exhaust gases from the combustion chambers and directs them to the exhaust system. The exhaust manifold is typically made of cast iron or steel.
### Intake Manifold
The intake manifold supplies the air-fuel mixture to the combustion chambers. The intake manifold is typically made of aluminum alloy or plastic.
### Throttle Body
The throttle body controls the flow of air into the engine. The throttle body is typically located on the intake manifold and is controlled by the driver’s accelerator pedal. The throttle body is typically made of aluminum alloy or plastic.
### Air Filter
The air filter removes dust and other contaminants from the air before it enters the engine. The air filter is typically located in a housing on the intake manifold. The air filter is typically made of paper or foam.
### Battery
The battery provides electrical power to the engine’s starter motor and other electrical components. The battery is typically located in the engine compartment. The battery is typically made of lead-acid or lithium-ion.
### Starter Motor
The starter motor cranks the engine to start it. The starter motor is typically located on the side of the engine. The starter motor is typically made of steel or aluminum.
### Alternator
The alternator generates electrical power to charge the battery and power the engine’s electrical components. The alternator is typically located on the side of the engine. The alternator is typically made of aluminum alloy or steel.
