Here's a more detailed explanation:
* Crankshaft: The crankshaft is the rotating shaft that converts the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion. It's the core component of the engine.
* Flywheel: The flywheel is a heavy disc attached to the crankshaft. It's designed to store energy from the engine's power strokes and release it smoothly, providing a more consistent power output.
* Flywheel Housing: The flywheel housing is a protective casing that encloses the flywheel. It also houses the starter motor, which engages with the flywheel to start the engine.
Therefore, if you're facing the crankshaft end of the engine (where the connecting rod and piston are), the flywheel housing will be on the opposite end.
