Mootoriblokil

Mootoriblokil is a term originating from Estonian, translating to "engine block" in English. It refers to the core component of an internal combustion engine. The engine block houses the cylinders, pistons, crankshaft, and camshaft, among other essential parts. It is typically cast from iron or aluminum and is designed to withstand the extreme pressures and temperatures generated during the combustion process.

The engine block serves as the structural foundation for the entire engine. It provides mounting points for the cylinder head, oil pan, and various accessories such as the oil pump and water pump. The intricate passages within the block allow for the circulation of coolant to regulate engine temperature and oil to lubricate moving parts. The design and material of the engine block significantly influence an engine's performance, durability, and weight. Modern engine blocks often incorporate advanced features for improved efficiency and reduced emissions.
