V
The cylinders arranged in two banks
connected to the same crankshaft.
Different angles are used between the
cylinder banks.
V engines offer the car to have more
cylinders with a shorter bonnet length, giving
better road visibility.
V engines are well balanced, smooth and
quiet in operation.
Assures relatively even distribution of air fuel
mixtures to all cylinders
Shorter but lighter and more rigid engine

Flat/Horizontally Opposed/Boxer
A Boxer engine is a ‘V’ engine with
an angle between the cylinder
banks of 180 Deg.
The pistons look like a boxers fists
going back and forth hence the
‘boxer’ name.
These engines offer some benefits,
but are complicated in design and
expensive to produce & maintain,
hence are not widely used.

18. CYLINDER BLOCK
• Basic frame work of an engine.
• Material : Alu i iu , Gray cast iro or iro alloyed ith Ni, Cr…
• Block contains cylinder, water jackets, water pump, timing gear,
ignition distributor, valves, fuel pump etc
• Cylinder contains bore liners (iron or steel alloy with good wear resistant)
• Dry liners - Contributes to rigidity ,less heat transfer
• Wet liners - Less rigid, Easy to remove, More heat transfer, Coolant leakage
•
18

19. Engine Cylinder Block
• The engine cylinder block is the basic frame of a liquid-cooled engine, whether
it is the in-line, horizontally opposed, or V-type.
• The cylinder block and crankcase are often cast in one piece that is the
heaviest single piece of metal in the engine.
• In small engines, where weight is an important consideration, the crankcase
may be cast separately.
• In most large diesel engines, such as those used in power plants, the crankcase
is cast separately and is attached to a heavy stationary engine base.
• In practically all automotive and construction equipment, the cylinder block
and crankcase are cast in one piece.
• The cylinders of a liquid-cooled engine are surrounded by jackets through
which the cooling liquid circulates. These jackets are cast integrally with the
cylinder block.
• The cylinders of air-cooled engines have closely spaced fins surrounding the
barrel; these fins provide an increased surface area from which heat can be
dissipated.
• This engine design is in contrast to that of the liquid-cooled engine, which has
a water jacket around its cylinders.
19

20. Cylinder Block Construction
• The cylinder block is cast from gray iron or iron alloyed with other metals such as nickel, chromium,
or molybdenum or aluminum.
• Cylinders are machined by grinding or boring to give them the desired true inner surface. During
normal engine operation, cylinder walls will wear out-of-round, or they may become cracked and
scored if not properly lubricated or cooled.
• Liners (sleeves) made of metal alloys resistant to wear are used in many gasoline engines and
practically all diesel engines to lessen wear.
• The liners are inserted into a hole in the block with either a PRESS FIT or a SLIP FIT. Liners are
further designated as either a WET-TYPE or DRY-TYPE. The wet-type liner comes in direct contact
with the coolant and is sealed at the top by a metallic sealing ring and at the bottom by a rubber
sealing ring. The dry-type liner does not contact the coolant.
• Engine blocks for L-head engines contain the passageways for the valves and valve ports. The lower
part of the block (crankcase) supports the crankshaft (the main bearings and bearing caps) and
provides a place to which the oil pan can be fastened.
• The camshaft is supported in the cylinder block by bushings that fit into machined holes in the
block. On L-head in-line engines, the intake and exhaust manifolds are attached to the side of the
cylinder block. On L-head V-8 engines, the intake manifold is located between the two banks of
cylinders; these engines have two exhaust manifolds, one on the outside of each bank.
20

21. CYLINDER HEAD
• Separate casting bolted to the top of the cylinder block
• Contains the combustion chambers, spark plug, valves, water jackets
• Material :Gray iron or Aluminium alloy
GASKET
• Joint between cylinder block an cylinder head
• Material :Thin sheets of soft metal or
of asbestos and metal
• Squeezes the soft metal thus sealing effectively
21

22. 22

23. CRANK CASE
• Base of the engine
• Supports the crank shaft and cam shaft
• Top half of the crank case is the integral part of cylinder block
• Bottom half of the crank case – Oil pan (Pressed steel or Aluminium)
• Material : Ferrous alloy or semi steel
•
23

24. • The crankcase also has mounting brackets that support the entire engine
on the vehicle frame.
• These brackets are either an integral part of the crankcase or are bolted to
it so that they support the engine at three or four points.
• These points of contact usually are cushioned with rubber that insulates
the frame and the body of the vehicle from engine vibration and therefore
prevents damage to the engine supports and the transmission.

49. Single Over Head Camshaft (SOHC)
In SOHC system all inlet and exhaust valves are
operated by one camshaft which is located in the
cylinder head (Top part of engine) .
This type of arrangement is used in conventional
cars and is superior to the older arrangement
which had push rods to operate the valves.

51. Engine- Power (BHP)
Brake Horse Power (BHP) is the British unit of measuring power, developed by an
engine.
Power is a measure of how quickly work can be done (moving the car)
Power (BHP) of the engine depends on its torque and engine speed (RPM), more
the torque or more the rpm, greater is the BHP
51
CC : It represents the size of Engine (Combustion Chamber)
E.g. Size of WagonR engine is 1061 cc, 1061 cubic centimeters.
Widest range of engine sizes from 800cc to 2700cc
Engine - Size

52. P-S
•PS is a German term for Metric Horse Power a different unit of measurement of power
developed by the engine.
•1 Metric hp = 1 PS = 0.986 bhp
•100 PS is equivalent to 98.6 bhp.
•In Indian Market all the manufacturers use unit of PS or Metric Horsepower to indicate
engine power.
52

53. Engine- Power to Weight Ratio (PWR)
53
Having more power only is not effective as one must also see the weight
that the power has to carry.
Thus the power to weight ratio must be observed.
Power to Weight Ratio (PWR) :
Power to weight ratio (PWR) is the ratio of bhp (power) to the weight of
the vehicle in tons.
PWR = bhp/ Weight of car in tons.
Higher PWR indicates vehicle’s capability to pull more weight and
accelerate quickly (better pick-up).

54. Comparison of Torque, BHP & PWR (e.g. WagonR)
54
TORQUE BHP PWR
Example 84 N.m@3500 rpm 64 bhp @6200 rpm 77.57
Vehicle
84 N.m indicates
maximum torque
developed
64 bhp indicates
the maximum bhp
developed
77.57 indicates
the pick-up or
acceleration of
the vehicle.
RPM
The rpm indicates
the speed of the
engine at which
maximum torque
is developed
The rpm indicates
the speed of the
engine at which
maximum power is
developed
