parts list

**Colten W.** · 07-29-2008, 07:58 PM

Can anyone list all of the parts in an engine?

**UTVols98** · 07-30-2008, 12:28 AM

Why?

Huh?

There are literally thousands of engine parts. What are you looking at doing? Learning the ins and outs of the internal combustion pushrod motor?

I am looking at building an rbhbe from the block up and was wondering how many parts were involved

A lot.... Are you building it yourself? Because if you don't know whats involved, beware of a pretty bumpy road ahead.

Crank, pistons, block, heads, valve train, drive accessories... there are a TON of parts to get.

I am planning to build it myself with help from a friend and I know it will be rough but I wanna learn to build an engine cuz I would like to get into a drag team someday

Start with an automotive school, you will learn much more and you will learn it faster and probably cheaper than building your own motor.

Or find some junk parts and start there.

How old are you?

**tigersport14** · 07-30-2008, 10:21 AM

ever seen a Bill of Materials for an engine? it is fricken huge when you break it down to base components. usally alot of the stuff comes assembled. mu job this summer is drawing with CAD and intigrating BOM's, Literally thousands of parts go into fairly simple machines. Engines are very large BOM's

**Colten W.** · 07-30-2008, 10:52 AM

I have never seen a bill of materials but I have done CAD and its pretty fun

Well since you're young and obviously have drive to do something, find a good automotive school... and if you're lucky, a high performance automotive school such as wyotech or something along those lines and get your education. If you already have a block ready to go, be prepared to spend some money on it. First of all, ask yourself this question, what do I want to do with this motor? How do you want to build it, what kind of vehicle is it for. And then do your research. In all honesty, you can't just post on a random forum, what engine parts do I need? There are millions of combonations out there. Internet and library should be screaming your name.

Good luck with everything and keep your goals in mind and work for them, you will never regret them in the end!
