How to Build an Engine in Car Mechanic Simulator 2018
In Car Mechanic Simulator 2018, you can build a new engine from scratch. This can be a daunting task, but it is also a very rewarding one. In this guide, we will walk you through the process step-by-step, so that you can build an engine that is both powerful and reliable.
Step 1: Gather your materials
The first step is to gather all of the materials you will need. These include:
- Engine block
- Crankshaft
- Connecting rods
- Pistons
- Piston rings
- Head gasket
- Cylinder heads
- Intake and exhaust manifolds
- Camshaft
- Timing belt or chain
- Oil pump
- Water pump
- Spark plugs
- Fuel injectors
Step 2: Assemble the block
The first step in assembling the engine is to assemble the block. The engine block is the foundation of the engine, and it houses the crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons.
- Begin by installing the main bearings into the engine block. The main bearings support the crankshaft, and they must be properly torqued to ensure that the engine runs smoothly.
- Next, install the crankshaft into the engine block. The crankshaft is the heart of the engine, and it converts the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotary motion.
- Once the crankshaft is installed, you can install the connecting rods. The connecting rods connect the pistons to the crankshaft, and they allow the pistons to move up and down inside the cylinders.
- Finally, install the pistons into the cylinders. The pistons are responsible for compressing the air-fuel mixture in the cylinders, and they also help to create a seal between the cylinders and the combustion chambers.
Step 3: Install the cylinder heads
The next step is to install the cylinder heads. The cylinder heads seal the combustion chambers, and they also house the valves and camshaft.
- Begin by installing the head gasket onto the engine block. The head gasket is a thin piece of metal that helps to create a seal between the engine block and the cylinder heads.
- Next, install the cylinder heads onto the engine block. The cylinder heads are bolted to the engine block, and they must be properly torqued to ensure that the engine runs smoothly.
- Once the cylinder heads are installed, you can install the valves. The valves allow air and fuel to enter and exit the combustion chambers.
- Finally, install the camshaft. The camshaft opens and closes the valves, and it is responsible for controlling the timing of the engine.
Step 4: Install the timing belt or chain
The timing belt or chain synchronizes the rotation of the crankshaft with the camshaft. This is important to ensure that the engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
- Begin by installing the timing belt or chain onto the crankshaft. The timing belt or chain is wrapped around the crankshaft sprocket and the camshaft sprocket.
- Next, tension the timing belt or chain. The timing belt or chain must be properly tensioned to ensure that it does not slip or break.
- Once the timing belt or chain is tensioned, you can install the timing belt cover. The timing belt cover protects the timing belt or chain from dirt and debris.
Step 5: Install the oil pump
The oil pump circulates oil throughout the engine. This is important to lubricate the moving parts and to prevent them from overheating.
- Begin by installing the oil pump into the engine block. The oil pump is bolted to the engine block, and it must be properly torqued to ensure that it does not leak.
- Next, install the oil filter. The oil filter removes contaminants from the oil, and it is important to replace it regularly.
- Finally, connect the oil lines to the oil pump. The oil lines carry oil to and from the engine.
Step 6: Install the water pump
The water pump circulates coolant throughout the engine. This is important to keep the engine cool and to prevent it from overheating.
- Begin by installing the water pump into the engine block. The water pump is bolted to the engine block, and it must be properly torqued to ensure that it does not leak.
- Next, connect the coolant hoses to the water pump. The coolant hoses carry coolant to and from the engine.
- Finally, fill the cooling system with coolant. The cooling system must be filled with the proper type of coolant, and it is important to check the coolant level regularly.
Step 7: Install the spark plugs and fuel injectors
