Q
what does it mean for an engine to turn over
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
When an engine is said to "turn over," it refers to the process where the engine's crankshaft is rotated by the starter motor, initiating the internal combustion process. This action leads to the movement of the pistons and the cycle of intake, compression, power, and exhaust strokes within the engine's cylinders. It's essentially the beginning of the engine's operation, leading up to the point where it can run on its own power. This term is often used to differentiate between an engine that can initiate this process when the ignition is engaged (turning over) versus an engine that fails to start due to other issues. However, an engine turning over doesn’t guarantee it will start, as this depends on other factors like fuel delivery, spark, and engine health. It's a crucial step in diagnosing engine issues; if an engine doesn't turn over, the problem may lie with the battery, starter motor, or electrical connections, rather than with the engine's internal components.
