Genuine Ford Engine Parts

There are several main parts of your engine, and each is important. Together they produce the power your vehicle needs to motor down the road.

The Parts of Your Engine

The cylinder head, for example, keeps oil leaks and gases from escaping. The pistons pressurize the fuel and oxygen inside the engine. Spark plugs ignite that mix, while exhaust valves regulate the fume levels. The crankshaft converts the engine's power into rotary motion. That motion is then used by the drive shaft and transmission to turn your wheels and tires. An oil sump, or oil pan, holds the motor oil that lubricates your many engine parts. Finally, there are the many other parts, such as the gaskets and rings that ensure everything fits together.

How to Spot Failing Engine Parts

At some point, even the best engine parts can begin to go bad. Signs of this failure include:

• Troubles accelerating
• Repeated engine stalls
• Reduced fuel efficiency
• Rough engine idling
• Your engine won't start

When you need to replace a worn-out engine part, you'll want to make sure that you choose the right one to take its place.
