The Red Brick Times

The best animation of the inner functionings of a car engine. They use a Volkswagen 4-cylinder engine as an example. First it shows you how it goes together, then it shows you how it looks inside while it is running.

Another animation of a Ford 4-cylinder engine . Compare the arrangement of components with the VW engine as it is assembled. The VW engine is better packaged and more compact, in my opinion.

The VW animation has a better view of the combustion process, and has better lens focus. The Ford animation shows the coolant flow around the cylinders (color coded for temperature) and the oil circulation system.

Both are posted on U Tube.
