the piston which when fired by the spark plug pushes the connecting rod down which causes it to turn the crankcase which thru the transmission and drive shaft turns your wheels

Piston……and Nick k, that would be ‘crankshaft’ not crankcase. The crankcase is the part of the engine block that the crankshaft rests in, and is brothered with the oil pan.
