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. | |
