If you want to find out what all the different bits of the engine do and
how they work take a look at:
http://www.howstuffworks.com/category.htm?cat=sc-engi
This is a really great site for showing 'how stuff works' in laymans
terms. There are sections about how most parts of a car work e.g.
engine, gearbox, carburretors, brakes etc... Best of all it's free!
I was like you 2 years ago when I bought my Spitfire, didn't have the
first clue about cars, but with the help of this list and 'messing about
with the car' I now have a reasonable knowledge of how most of the car
works. Just staring at parts diagrams or descriptions long enough and
trying to un-pick what they do can be enough to understand a system on a
rudimentary level.
good luck!
cheers
