    How exactly would an engine “throw a cylinder”?

      Typically it’s a rod but you’ve either never heard the term before or are being pedantic.

        Or I’m literally just asking a question to gain some insight. I’ve heard the term thrown a rod, and I’ve actually worked on cars more than most people. But thanks for the unwarranted hostility.

          Easy killer “how exactly would a car throw a piston” wasn’t exactly a non-hostile comment yourself.

      some engines have cylinder sleeves that can be pushed out. Although, as another commenter already mentioned, they actually meant “throwing a rod”
