An automotive carburettor is a mechanical part that allows air and fuel to be mixed in many gasoline engines. It was the founder of Mercedes-Benz who developed the first carburettor in 1886.
Newer cars mostly have an electronic fuel injection system, but older cars still have a carburettor.
The silent block, sometimes called SILENTBLOC®, the original name of the trademark of the company Paulstra, is a part made of rubber which reduces the vibrations of the car. It therefore makes it possible to shift gears smoothly, avoiding excessive vibrations.

The camshaft, located beneath the engine, is another critical part of any car and fitted in a variety of conformations, each one operating with slight differences. In addition to the standard design, there is the overhead camshaft and the dual overhead version.
The camshaft rotates in conjunction with the crankshaft of a car. It performs a service that involves the mixture of air and fuel entering cylinders and the gases emitted from them, in an action repeated many thousands of times.
Modern vehicles are commonly manufactured with an engine block and a cylinder head bolted on top, which makes a head gasket a critical seal. This important component is situated between the engine block and cylinder head. It is a machined casting for an internal combustion engine, designed with cylindrical bored holes for hosting the pistons. A head gasket performs the task of a seal between the engine block and cylinder head.
The function of a radiator may best be described as a heat transference system, whereby the heat from hot coolant flowing through, is dispersed by the fan. The majority of radiators in modern vehicles are manufactured from aluminium. An engine coolant flows from the inlet source to the outlet by way of thin tubes mounted in a parallel arrangement, from which heat is transferred into the air flowing through the radiator.
