" CAR GLOSSARY in Laywoman's terms!
A powertrain refers to the stuff that makes the car go, from the engine to the axles. The drive train is the same thing, without the engine. Cool huh?
An engine really cool looking. It has pistons, which move up in down in something called a "stroke" isn't that the most delicious thing? Each piston does 4 strokes. All the way up, then all the way down, creating a vaccuum that draws the vaporized fuel from the intake valve (i think that's right please correct if wrong!), then up to compress the vaporized fuel (gasoline), and then BOOM, the spark plug lights that gas and the resulting explosiong SHOVES the piston down. The piston is hooked to rods, which is hooked to a camshaft. The pistons explode in order, so that the turning of the camshaft will make the other pistons that aren't exploding, move up and down, as well as turn the stuff in the transmission and the drive shaft which turns the axles, which turns the wheels, which makes the car move forward (or backward!)
A V8 engine has two pistons doing the exploding at the same time, making it more powerful than a V6, or a 4 cylinder. 8 pistons, 6 pistons, 4 pistons.
Now, the cubic inch displacement also affects the size of the pistons. The bigger the piston, the more powerful the explosion, the more torque produced when the camshaft spins. Got that? "
