I am a novice engine builder. I enjoy working on my engine however I do not have much experience and I am learning as I go. Lately, I have been trying to learn about engine cases however I have been running into terms that I have not been able to figure out (ex- sunken registers, spigots- I know what a spigot or register is however I cannot figure out what is meant on this case). I figure that I am not the only one so I thought that I would post some pictures and ask for people to name the indicated areas. I just picked a bunch of parts that may or may not have specific names. I figure that this would be a good start for novices like me. (I do know the name of the several of the things arrowed however I added them for documentation purposes. If you can think of other parts areas that would be useful to name-- please add them)
(Please note that I pirated some of the pics from this website http://www.ephotomotion.com/914engine/ Picture 1 (please fill in the blanks) Green Arrow- Orange Arrow- Red Arrow- Purple Arrow- Yellow Arrow- Picture 2 Yellow Arrow- Red Arrows- Green Arrow- Attached image(s)
