Connecting rod

A connecting rod is like a stick that connects the engine's piston to the crankshaft. It's like the link that joins two parts of a toy car, so that when one part moves, the other part moves too.

When the engine's piston goes up and down, it pushes the connecting rod, which in turn moves the crankshaft. The crankshaft is like the boss of the engine, it takes all the power from the gasoline and turns it into motion for the car's wheels.

The connecting rod has to be really strong, because it has to handle a lot of force and pressure. It's made of metal and is usually shaped like the letter "I".

Without a connecting rod, the engine wouldn't be able to work properly and the car wouldn't be able to move.
