Arrange the mechanical steps in the correct chronological order to describe how force is transferred from the camshaft to open a cylinder valve in a pushrod (overhead valve / OHV) internal combustion engine.
- 1The rotating camshaft lobe pushes the valve lifter (tappet) upward.
- 2The valve lifter pushes the pushrod upward through the engine block.
- 3The top of the pushrod forces one side of the rocker arm upward, pivoting it on its fulcrum.
- 4The opposite end of the rocker arm presses downward on the valve stem tip, opening the valve against spring pressure.
Cevap
The correct sequence begins with the rotating camshaft lobe lifting the valve lifter, which pushes the pushrod upward. The pushrod then pivots the rocker arm on its fulcrum, causing the rocker arm's opposite tip to press down on the valve stem and open the valve.
In an overhead valve (OHV) engine, the camshaft resides within the engine block. As the cam lobe rotates, it lifts the lifter (tappet), which pushes the pushrod up through the block to the cylinder head. The pushrod pivots the rocker arm around a central fulcrum, and the downward motion of the rocker arm's tip pushes the valve stem down against spring tension to open the valve.
