A constant velocity (CV) joint is closely related to which of the following?
master cylinder |
|
ball joint |
|
sprint joint |
|
universal joint |
Like CV joints, universal joints (U-joints) are located at each end of a drive shaft and allow the shaft to operate at a variable angle with the item it is driving. Universal joints perform the same basic function as CV joints but CV joints have a wider range of operation.
What is the large casing that contains the cylinders and many of the internal components of the engine?
manifold |
|
chassis |
|
transmission |
|
engine block |
The engine (or cylinder) block is the large casing that contains the cylinders and many of the internal components of the engine.
A __________ is a drive axle that extends from a transaxle or differential to one of the drive wheels.
control arm |
|
drive shaft |
|
half shaft |
|
steering linkage |
A half shaft is a drive axle that extends from a transaxle or differential to one of the drive wheels. There are two half shafts per drive axle, one for each wheel, each doing "half" the job.
What function does a two-stroke cycle engine perform on the second stroke?
fuel intake and compression |
|
combustion and exhaust |
|
compression and combustion |
|
fuel intake and exhaust |
The two strokes of a two-stroke cycle engine are fuel intake and compression then combustion and exhaust.
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?
connecting arm |
|
halfshaft |
|
camshaft |
|
crankshaft |
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.
