I only know some stuff about the parts in an engine. I would like to know if we can make a glossary with the definition of the engine part and a picture so people can know what your talking about.

:::Example:::

Pistons - 1. An engine part that reciprocates in the cylinder and transfers the force of the expanding gases via the piston pin and connecting rod to the crankshaft.

2. A round, caliper component in a disc brake that is moved outward by fluid pressure to press the pads against each rotor face.

Picture -

 

bump c'mon

 

hmm, i think there already plenty of this info. It is scattered though. The service manual will cover everything though.

 

The gas peddle

(1)the peddle on the far right that you mash to the floor when you see a mustang (trying) to pass you
(2) the peddle on the far right that you let off of and say oh **** when you see a cop

( this is really a good idea though I'm just a smart ***)

 

Good idea. How about a glossary of misused/misspelled terms that are popular around here?

Dizzy = when you drive around in circles too fast.
Ignitor = that thing in the dashboard for lighting cigarettes.
Peddle = that thing near the floor, us old-farts call it a pedal.
Break = brake (or is it broken??)

Won't crank = won't fire (depending on who's writing).
Won't fire = won't crank (depending on who's writing).

Engage the clutch = press down the pedal (depending on who's writing).
Engage the clutch = let up the pedal (depending on who's writing).
Double-clutching = rev-matching (or maybe it means simply revving the engine?)

Short = open-circuit (depending on...)
"How can I test" = "I don't own a meter, so I want you to guess" (depending...)
