Big EndEnd of the con rod that fits to the crankshaft. |
Big End BearingsThe journals and shell bearings on a crankshaft that carry the big ends of the connecting rods. |
Bimetal StripTwo metals bonded together so that when heated, the different rates of expansion cause the strip to bend. The amount of bend is proportional to the temperature. |
Bimetal Thermostatic SpringA spring that changes tension with temperature. |
Bimetalic ValveSee Bi-metalic Valve. |
Bimetallic ValveA valve that operates when a temperature change moves a bimetal strip. |
