2

What is the function of the head gasket?

75% Answer Correctly

to seal the engine block from the cylinders

to seal the exhaust system from the drive train

to seal the brake assembly from external contaminants

to connect the transmission to the drive train

A head gasket is a gasket that sits between the engine block and cylinder heads to seal the cylinders to ensure maximum compression and avoid leakage of coolant or engine oil into the cylinders.


3

Which of the following transfers the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed while accomodating the up and down movement of the suspension?

68% Answer Correctly

constant velocity (CV) joint

springs

control arms

transfer case


Solution

Constant velocity (CV) joints are located at both ends of a half shaft and their purpose is to transfer the torque from the transmission to the drive wheels at a constant speed while accomodating the up and down movement of the suspension. The inner CV joint connects the shaft to the transmission and the outer CV joint connects the shaft to the wheel.


4

A vehicle's lighting system is protected from current spikes by:

69% Answer Correctly

the battery

the alternator

the voltage regulator

fuses and circuit breakers


Solution

The lighting system consists of interior lights, instrument panel lighting, headlights, and taillights. Like household electrical circuits, the vehicle's lighting system is protected from current spikes by fuses and circuit breakers.


5

The fuel injectors are fed fuel by the:

65% Answer Correctly

powertrain control module

fuel return line

electric fuel pump

fuel pressure regulator


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.
