Top End

0

The top end of an engine typically refers to all of the components from the cylinder base gasket up, including  the cylinder, cylinder head and piston but excluding the connecting rod. Two-stroke engines are famous for requiring top-end jobs on a frequent basis because they produce power every revolution of the crankshaft, while four stroke engines only produce power every two crankshaft revolutions.
