car engine (internal combustion engine)

[v9]

Hola todos,

I'm writing something for school and it's about a car motor. So, I need some help with all the parts of a car engine (an internal combustion engine).

Here's some than I have:

cam shaft = ?
cam = leva ??
flywheel = ?
lifters = ?
piston = pistón
cylinder = cilindro
rings = anillos ?
drive shaft = ?
differential = diferencial
stroke = ?
spark plug = bujía
spark plug wires = ?
timing belt = ?

I've got a bunch more too, but if you all could help with these that would be just wonderful.

The words with question marks are the ones I haven't been able to find.

Thanks so much.

A lot of those are in the dictionary.

crankshaft - cigüeñal
camshaft - árbol de levas
cam - leva
flywheel - volante
piston - pistón
cylinder - cilindro
ringos - anillos
drive shaft - flecha
differential - diferencial
spark plug- bujía
timing belt - banda de tiempo
timing chain - cadena de tiempo
timing - tiempo

Try here:
English - Spanish Automotive Dictionary

It's more detailed and you can search for other automotive terms.
Driveshaft is "Eje de transmisión" or "cardán"
Timing Belt is "Correa de la distribución" in Spain, and "Correa del tiempo" in Southamerica.

Hope it helps

I appreciate the information sosia. Some of the terms I mentioned must be Mexican colloquialisms (flecha, banda de tiempo). Great wesite you found for car-related vocabulary.
