Honda Engine Parts at a Glance
The engine may seem very complex at a glance, but with a little research and support from the Heritage Honda Westminster team, you’ll have a good understanding of what makes a new Honda vehicle tick. Here are some of the essential parts and systems that you’ll find in your Honda engine:
The Engine Block: The engine block is central to the engine, and a quick glance will tell you how many cylinders the vehicle has and whether it’s an inline, flat, V, or W configuration. Many of the essential systems and parts, including oil and water, move through the engine block.
Belts and Hoses: It’s important to know and recognize the belts and hoses in your engine because they can wear down over time and need replacing. The timing belt keeps your vehicle operating efficiently, and hoses ensure the proper flow of water, oil, and other fluids.
Pistons: The pistons in your vehicle support the internal combustion process by compressing air and fuel together. Once compressed, they are ignited by the spark plug, which essentially helps the vehicle to move.
Crankshaft: The crankshaft moves the pistons at an even speed, helping ensure that the vehicle has consistent ignition between gasoline and oxygen.
Exhaust Manifold: After the gasoline and oxygen mixture has been ignited, it produces exhaust, which needs to be moved out of the engine compartment. The exhaust manifold, a large metal unit, helps support this process.
