introductory engineering videos regarding engines

[tpg5000]

Does anyone have any helpful links showing animations of a basic car engine (camshaft, cranksaft, driving chain...)? I need a little help becoming familiar with the mechanics and names of these parts again for a project that has just come up. Thank you in advance for any useful tips or links.

Go to your local hobby shop and you can buy a V-8 plastic model that you put together. Pretty well explains everything and lets you "assemble" what would/could be an actual engine.
