What is a Camshaft?
Camshafts are used in internal combustion engines to operate the intake and exhaust valves, they are usually made from steel or cast iron and are a key factor in determining the RPM range of an engine’s power band. A camshaft is a rotating component containing cam lobes that convert rotary motion into reciprocating motion. The camshaft’s calibration precisely controls the air-fuel mixture entering the chamber and how to efficiently let the exhaust gases from the previous ignition exit the chamber. This in turn makes it critical to the operation of the engine as the opening and closing of valves must be carefully and perfectly synchronized with the piston movements. To ensure timing is right, the camshafts are connected to the rotation of the crankshaft via a Timing belt or chain, which moves the pistons in the cylinder directly. The shape of the camshaft themselves has been specifically designed in such a way to control the speed at which the valves open and close.

Today we will be looking at the Crankshaft. The crankshaft is a shaft driven by a crank mechanism, consisting of a series of cranks and crankpins to which the connecting rods of an engine are attached. The crankshaft is located at the lower section of the engine block. This balanced mechanism is connected to the pistons through the connecting rod. The main purpose of this connecting rod is to absorb the reciprocating motion of the piston and pass it to the crankshaft. When the crankshaft is moved by the connecting rod, it converts that movement into rotary motion and turns the flywheel, which continues to move the wheels. A reciprocating piston engine is not able to transmit the piston reciprocating movement to the drive shaft without a crankshaft. In short a reciprocating engine cannot move a vehicle without a crankshaft.

In todays’ post we will be looking at some of the reasons why a Cylinder head fails. Internal combustion engines as the name implies are designed to contain small, controlled explosions and therefore heat up very quickly. The number one cause of a cracked cylinder head is overheating. When the engine overheats its components are stressed far beyond the heat threshold it was designed for. An engine may overheat due to one of the components in the cooling system that fails. Some attributing factors to an engine overheating include air in the cooling system, failed water pump, failed thermostat or a coolant leak. Having your vehicle serviced regularly can help prevent your vehicles engine from overheating, preventative maintenance will save you money in the long run, with regular services it is easier to detect any possible problems.

The cylinder head can be found above the cylinders on top of the cylinder block, sealed with the head gasket. It closes the top of the cylinder which forms the combustion chamber, it also houses components such as the valve springs, valves, lifters, pushrods, rockers, and camshafts to control passageways that allow the flow of intake air into the cylinders during the intake stroke as well as exhaust passages that remove exhaust gases during the exhaust stroke. The cylinder head also channels the coolant into the engine block to cool down the engine components. The gasket used on the cylinder head prevents water and oil from leaking into the combustion chambers.

A piston is cylindrical with a flat surface at the top. The function of the piston is to transfer the energy created from the combustion to the crankshaft to propel the vehicle. In combustion engines, the intake, compression, combustion and exhaust processes take place above the piston in the cylinder head which forces the piston to move up and down.

A radiator is an essential cooling device that circulates coolant around your vehicles engine. The main function of the radiator is to keep the vehicles engine from overheating. Coolant is usually water based, and helps to prevent freezing and to limit corrosion, erosion and cavitation.
To help cool down the heat of an engine, coolant passes through the engine block where it absorbs the heat. The hot coolant then passes to the inlet tank of the radiator and then gets distributed across the radiator core through tubes to the opposite tank; much of the heat gets transferred to the tubes which in turn get transferred to the fins in between the tubes. The fins then release the heated air into the ambient air. The cooled liquid is fed back into the engine. The cycle continues like this. It is very important to have your radiator checked with your regular services to prevent unnecessary expenses.

Talk to our team today for more information about your vehicles radiator. Visit us to book your vehicles next service where you can be assured that our professional and competent technicians and service advisors will assist you professionally and efficiently.
