Making the Engine Let's watch an animation
A car has many different parts. How are they all made?
The engine by itself has more than 500 parts.
Casting



Heat is used to melt steel and aluminum, and the molten metal is poured into molds to make engine parts.		 Forging



Machines are used to process heated metal to make gears and other parts.		 Machining and Installation


The parts made by casting and forging are trimmed and polished by machines. These parts are then used to assemble the engine and suspension. More than 500 parts are used to make just the engine.
