However, the books and theory seem dry and rarely we can imagine what is going on inside the block. What the real engine will look like when it works.

In episode 166, the guys on this channel proceeded to bring the engine block to the lab, remove the shielding parts and let it work. At this point, the cameras will start recording in Slow Motion, giving us footage that will probably never be visible in reality. Well, if you need to summarize how the engine works before watching the video to better understand the problem, you can review the infographic below.
