GUYS and GALS,

I've been searching the tsikot library of forums and ironically, there hasn't been any straightforward topic concentrated on the basics about engines. I know most of us are already aware how engine works but its good to share and educate the uninitiated. I know that most of you might find this irrelevant since you are educated about cars and engines, but not everyone is REALLY aware about how car engines work and other complex mechanisms found on cars. I'm also trying to re-educate myself to update my knowledge about engines as well.
