Pressure Lubrication in Internal Engine Components

Which component would be pressure lubricated?

Select one:

a. Valve guides

b. Crankshaft

c. Cylinder walls

d. Pistons

Answer:

Cylinder walls

Internal engine components can be lubricated by oil pressure or splash lubrication. In this case, the component that would be pressure lubricated is the cylinder walls.

Oil pressure lubrication is used to ensure that the cylinder walls are properly lubricated to reduce friction between the piston rings and the cylinder walls. This helps to reduce wear and tear, improve engine performance, and extend the lifespan of the engine.
