Explanation: Actually it's not the head, but each of the short excentric axles (one for each piston rod, see link for picture) which revolve around the geometric central axis. The piston rod ("biela") is mounted on the "puño del cigueñal"

En otras palabras: la biela agarra el puño de cigueñal => the rod grabs the crankpin

Sorry. I just realized I left a space out: it's "crank journal"

Reference: puño del cigueñal
Reference information: puño del cigueñal=muñón del cigueñal= crankpin (on the position of the connecting rod=biela) or crank journal (on the position of the cojinete de bancada=crankshaft main bearing).
The right name in English language will depend on which position of the crankshaft length you are talking about, because in Spanish language both positions are puño del cigueñal or muñón del cigueñal in another countries.
The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
