What's the first thing you look at when you see a new aircraft?  Definitely the paint.  Maybe the panel.  But buried under the cowling lies the airplane's most important system...  the engine!  This week Bobby & Wally delve into the basic components of the engine, as well as some basic things you can do to care for yours and keep it running smoothly.
