The engine is the heart of any automobile. It is responsible for generating the power required to move the vehicle.

Engines come in different types and sizes, depending on the make and model of the automobile.

The most common type of engine is the internal combustion engine, which uses a combination of fuel and air to generate power.

The internal combustion engine consists of several components, including the cylinder block, cylinder head, pistons, crankshaft, and camshaft.

The cylinder block is the main body of the engine and contains the cylinders, where the combustion takes place.

The cylinder head sits on top of the cylinder block and contains the valves, which allow fuel and air into the engine and exhaust gases out.

The pistons are the components that move up and down inside the cylinders, and the crankshaft converts this motion into rotational motion that powers the wheels.
