Across
- 10. opens and closes the intake and exhaust valves of the engine cylinder head
- 12. used to engage or disengage the engine and transmission
- 13. uses an internal hydraulic system to shift gears
- 15. contains a differential and two axles.
- 16. the part of a piston engine which connects the piston to the crankshaft
- 19. these return the valves to there seated position when there is no pressure applied
- 20. a mechanical component used in a piston engine to convert the reciprocating motion into rotational motion
Down
- 1. produces extremely high voltage that operates the spark plugs
- 2. allows the driver to change gear ratios and engine torque going to drive wheels
- 3. reduces friction and wear between internal engine parts
- 4. transfers turning force from the engine crankshaft to the drive wheels
- 5. are mechanically opened and closed, to admit air or expel exhaust gasses, into the engine cylinder(s)
- 6. contains a transmission and a differential in one case
- 7. these are mounted between the engine block and intake manifold
- 8. these are used to open the valves for fuel and exhaust
- 9. sits between a car's camshaft and the cylinder valves
- 11. used inside the engine for compression connected to the crankshaft
- 14. the main body of an internal combustion engine containing the pistons
- 17. replaces electrical energy used during the starting system operation
- 18. transfers power from the transmission to the rear axle assembly
