Here at Dodson’s we have many many car parts for sale from electrics to exterior panels, but today we’re going to talk about mechanical parts. Under the hood of a car can be a scary place for many people, a big confusing jumble of metal, tubes and wires. But those mechanics are what get you from A to B and when critical components wear out, it’s great to know that the team at Dodson’s have the new and quality used parts you need to get you back on the road.
Engines
It’s the reason you can put the pedal to the metal and go from zero to 60 in about 8 seconds! The purpose of a car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. The principle behind this is that if you put a tiny amount of high energy fuel (like gasoline) in a small enclosed space and ignite it, an incredible amount of energy is released in the form of expanding gas.
At Dodson’s we have a full range of Japanese engines for all makes and models. Our engines and mechanical parts are in excellent condition and are checked out by our qualified team before sale. Talk to us for engine car parts for Nissan, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Mazda and more.
Gearboxes
Gears do several important jobs in your car’s gearbox. Firstly they adapt the output of your engine. The transmission reduces the higher engine speed to the slower wheel speed, increasing torque in the process. Another function of gearboxes is to adjust the direction of rotation. Talk to us at Dodson’s for all your gearbox and transmission part needs.
Differentials
The differential allows the outer drive wheel to rotate faster than the inner drive wheel during a turn. This is necessary when you turn, in order to make the outer wheel roll farther and faster than the other. We can help you out with front-wheel, rear-wheel, all-wheel and open differentials.
Cylinder heads
The cylinder head (often referred to as just the ‘head’) sits above the cylinders on top of the cylinder block. It closes in the top of the cylinder, forming the combustion chamber. If your cylinder heads become damaged, you’ll lose compression and your engine won’t work as it should. Talk to us at Dodson’s about replacement cylinder heads and mechanical parts today.
Rotary engines
A rotary engine works in a different way to conventional piston engines, although they still use the pressure created by the burning of air and fuel. Mazda has been a pioneer in developing production cars that use rotary engines and here at Dodson’s we have a range of rotary engines and rotary engine parts for Mazda owners and other rotary engine enthusiasts.
Turbos
A turbo can significantly boost an engine’s horsepower without significantly increasing its weight, which is the huge benefit that makes turbos so popular! We have a range of turbochargers and related mechanical parts available for many makes and models.
At Dodson’s our mechanical parts department is run by a crew of qualified experts who are also serious car enthusiasts! We love the roar of a turbo engine and will always make sure we give you the right advice and parts for your needs. We’re equipped with years of hands-on experience and extensive product knowledge, see us at Dodson’s for friendly service and top quality products.
