for my speech class i am going to give a speech on ho wto change the oil. allot of people dont know how so i think it will keep most of the class interested. i wanted to go into how the engine works and why it nees the oil. do any of you know where a short clip of an engine working is? i think it would add to the presentation. and any of you know of any good links that i can use as sources for the topic? thanks!!

yea man! thats exactly what i was looking for. im doing a power point so how would i copy that animated image onto it? i copied it and pasted it but it didnt move. THANK YOU!!!!!!

 

That should work. The animation will not show when you're building the presentation. Go preview the show and you should see it moving.

 

oh cool, thanks for your help...one more question, in that animation, where does the oil go into the chanber? it doesnt go in with the gas does it?

 

The only time oil would be going in there is if you've got bad rings! The oil is everywhere but the combustion chamber.

 

oh ok, i realized that that was a stupid question after i posted it...

 

No worries! Good luck with the presentation!!
