It shows the basic workings of the engine. You made a comment earlier that you didn't know where the inlet and exhaust valves were. I thought this would help clear it up.
""Sooo.. in this picture, would the intake be the left or right?""
In the first picture up this thread all the inlets are along the top and the exhausts are along the bottom.
The exhaust manifold is under that aluminum thing with 2 bolts in it, often refered to as a heat shield. It's where the exhaust valves are....
Can you get your Dad to help you? Didn't you say he was a mechanic?
You can also learn a lot about an engine by building one of these... Google this -> visible v8 model
I thought revel made a 4 cylinder plastic turbo engine too, can't find it though
