| Camshaft | Controls the opening and closing of the valves |
| Valve Lift | The amount the Camshaft opens the valves |
| Duration | The time the camshaft opens and closes the valves |
| (LSA) Lobe Separation Angle | The angle between the exhaust open and the intake open points |
| Compression rings | The top two rings of a piston |
| Oil control ring | The bottom ring that keeps oil out of the combustion chamber |
| Wrist Pin | The part that connects the Piston to the Connecting rod |
| Three | The amount of rings a normal automotive engine has |
| Intake stroke | The stroke that vacuums in the air and fuel mixture |
| Compression stroke | at the end of this stroke the air and fuel ignite |
| Power stroke to power stroke | We must carry every engine _______ stroke to _______ stroke |
| Compression stroke | The stroke that squeezes the air and fuel mixture towards the point of combustion |
| Exhaust stroke | The stroke where un-burnt air and fuel are released |
| Top Dead Center (TDC) | The point where the piston is at the top of the stroke |
