1

For inline cylinder arrangements in an engine, how are the cylinders numbered?

50% Answer Correctly

sequentially from the back of the engine to the front

sequentially from the front of the engine to the back

alternating from the front of the engine to the back

alternating from the back of the engine to the front


Solution

Inline cylinder arrangements number cylinders sequentially (1, 2, 3, ...) front to rear.


2

In a four-stroke piston cycle, one piston is always:

84% Answer Correctly

all of these are correct

exhausting gases

delivering power

compressing the air-fuel mixture


Solution

In a four-stroke cycle engine there is always one piston delivering power, one exhausting gases, one drawing in the air-fuel mixture, and one compressing that mixture.


3

Which of the following regulates the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder in time with the motion of the piston?

65% Answer Correctly

camshaft

crankshaft

connecting arm

halfshaft


Solution

The camshaft is linked to the crankshaft through a timing belt and regulates the opening and closing of the intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder in time with the motion of the piston. An engine designated OverHead Camshaft (OHC) locates the camshaft in the cylinder head. An engine with Double OverHead Camshaft (DOHC) has two camshafts, one to regulate the intake valves and one to regulate the exhaust valves.


4

The fuel pressure regulator ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. The fuel pressure regulator is part of the:

40% Answer Correctly

fuel manifold

fuel rail

electric fuel pump

fuel filter


Solution

The electric fuel pump feeds pressurized fuel through a fuel filter to the fuel injectors via the fuel rail manifold. The fuel rail contains the fuel pressure regulator which ensures that the fuel injectors receive fuel at a consistent and known rate. Excess fuel bled off by the pressure regulator returns to the fuel tank through the fuel return line.


5

A cylinders acts as a guide for a:

82% Answer Correctly

camshaft

piston

valve

driveshaft


Solution

Cylinders act as a guide for the pistons that translate the heat energy of combustion into the mechanical energy necessary to move a vehicle. Piston rings seal the piston to the cylinder to contain combustion gases and also regulate the oil distribution between the piston and cylinder wall. A cylinder head closes in the top of the cylinder forming the combustion chamber which is sealed by a head gasket (head). The head provides space for air and fuel intake valves, exhaust valves, and mounts for spark plugs and fuel injectors.
