just had my first flight in a 172 last week and everything i experienced in flight makes a lot more sense now that i see the engine a little more in depth. thanks for this video!
Very nice and thorough explanation of engine systems. If you don’t work on these it’s difficult to appreciate the lesson you give. 🙏 thanks you and keep up the good work.
Nice job..question on my 172K the carb heat flaper has alot of wiggle room at the box is that normal? I took off the filter and can see it moving when pulled in cockpit. While doing run up I barely get a drop in rpm but at high power settings in flight I get at least 150 or so so I know its working..
That's Correct Luis! its either it has a Generator or it has an Alternator. We actually converted all of our planes from generators to alternators recently. Just because they are more efficient and tend to last longer
Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I find it very easy to understand how the whole system works. Just wondering, I understand that the air goes through the exhaust strut is heated and funneled inside the carb heater box. Does that air go through a filter before going through the carb? I'm a student and just need to understand. Maybe I'm missing something. Thank you so much
No the air going through the carb heater box is not filtered. Its not meant to run that air through the carb for too long as it is unfiltered and is thinner air due to it being heated. You will have a slight degradation in engine performance but its only meant to deice the carb so its ok for short periods.
Great video. Lots of good information. Kind of quick but good overall. I did see something interesting forward of the left side firewall. A DC external plug. Is that standard or an STC?
Learnt a lot about the basic components on the engine. Question is, if a TTOH is 2,000hrs, is that TIME in the AIR or total time the engine is on. It seems that there is a lot of time spend sitting on the runway before/after flying that is not a stressful to the engine as flying itself. Thanks.
I'm not a pilot, but I am a mechanic for cars with 20 years experience, yet have been fascinated with aircraft (but due to my poor eyesight from a distance). Excuse me for saying but that seems to not only be a very small air filter, but most of the air, or what is "heated air" coming into the engine from side tubes isn't filtered at all?? Did I see that correctly? Maybe aircraft engines are far more efficient than car engines? Guess I need to learn more, but that doesn't seem prudent at all. And using carburetors instead of fuel injection?
Great video But I was wondering if you could explain the pistons with a little bit more information. Is it still a four stroke system with the intake, compression, power and exhaust?
I’m so glad I came across this, I’ve tried reading about aircraft systems but I’m a visual learner, and this helps allot to understand this
Great! Glad it helped!
Thank you for teaching me. Learned a lot from this video.
My Pleasure!!
This is very well done, it's simple and it communicates a ton of information, good camera work too. Thank you!
Thanks John!
I just bought a B model with the O-300 D and this really helped to understand the layout of the engine. Thank you for your guided tour.
My Pleasure Mike!

My Pleasure Paul!
Its confusing when you don't know what is under the hood!
Very explicitly explained video about the engine.
Thank You very much!!
Awesome video & great piece of knowledge, thank you for sharing!
Thanks Tom!
One of the best Videos to describe aviation engines.
Thank you!! I really appreciate that!!!!
Thank you for the tour and very clear explanation. Learned quite a bit.

Thanks Mark!
Thanks for the video, its so much better when someone makes a video with the actual engine like you, rather than these 3d computer models.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much man. Love your video. Taught me a lot
That's one clean 0300. Nice!
Thanks!
This helps me a lot, Got a schedule for skill test this coming june 7 for my local license hoping I'll pass
Thank you. Very informative, helpful information. Appreciate your effort.
Thank you for video dude. Cessna 172 is very good plane.
Glad you liked it!

God bless u sir.Good explanation.
Great video! Thank you. So I’m assuming that because it has a generator that it will not have an alternator. Is that how it works?

Thank you so much for your input!!!
Very good and simple explanation to help me get started! Great job
Kitesurfing Travels your welcome!!
Nice knowledge.
this helped me so much! thank you for sharing!
You're so welcome!!
Well done! Well done!
amazing video!!!! please make moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thank you so much I do appreciate all the video you made, that’s great help
Shasha Zhang my pleasure!!!!
thank you so much for this educational video
Your welcome Heather!!
good job
Thank You!
Good video
Great video. Lots of good information. Kind of quick but good overall.

Scot Cowie it’s the plug for an engine preheater
what a great video
Thank you So much! I appriciate it!

Quite surprising how little air filtration they have and no filtration at all if carb heat is on.

awesome video mate!
This is so helpful!
Oh dang, you’re like a brother from another mother.
Lol thanks!
Great video thanks 👍
well done 👍
Fuel lines from the primer ?
Thank you 🙏
Great video! Thank you! What aircraft is this?
its a 1964 Cessna 172E!
Gexcelent explantion 👍👍
Glad you liked it!
Great video But I was wondering if you could explain the pistons with a little bit more information. Is it still a four stroke system with the intake, compression, power and exhaust?
Yes Sir, Its a normal 4 stroke engine. Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow
thanks for the viceo
Thanks was looking for something like this!
Spades0 7 my pleasure !!
Does it fly well? How about a LS swap?
Flies Great! Super Smooth Engine!
good stuff thanks............
Glad you enjoyed it!
That exhaust system is cracked!
Like the story about the chicken nest on top of engine
Im an aspiring aircraft mechanic
What model and year C172 is this
very GOOD
Hello,I'm Gelson
is there a EFI kit for a Cessna engine?
ronaldo domacena not for aircraft engines. Most are Carburetors or regular mechanical fuel injection
This engine is used in which aircraft
1964 Cessna 172E
Show Aircraft Cessna 172
Is it C 172 R ?
Nah its a C-172E
@@Ayersaviationoh ok ok ...... thanks sir ! ❤️
how many bangladesh price 6, silinder helicopter engine. anybody knowds. please talk me
Kya ?
it would be more efficient if it used fuel injectors instead of a carburetor
