Automotive Components and Functions

Rotor: A key component in a vehicle's braking system, not involved in the drive train.
Master Cylinder: Responsible for applying hydraulic pressure to the wheel cylinder, essential for brake functionality.
Oil Cooler: Part of the car’s cooling system designed to cool the pistons during lubrication, preventing overheating.
Coil: A critical part of a conventional distributor, contributing to the ignition system’s efficiency.
Socket: Commonly refers to a handle or a connection point in automotive applications, important for various components.
Thermostat: Regulates the flow of coolant through an engine, ensuring optimal engine temperature for performance.
Crankshaft in V8 Engine: A V8 engine contains one crankshaft, which facilitates the conversion of linear motion into rotational motion.
Ignition System Coil: Amplifies electrical voltage to create the spark necessary for engine ignition, vital for starting and running the vehicle.
