An engine's pistons and cylinders are central components for combustion and power generation.
The piston moves up and down in the cylinder, compressing the air-fuel mixture that is then ignited. This movement converts the explosive force into mechanical energy, which is transmitted to the transmission via the crankshaft.
Pistons and cylinders must be precisely manufactured to minimise friction and ensure maximum efficiency.
Wear or damage to these parts can significantly affect engine performance and lead to serious mechanical problems.
Regular inspections and, if necessary, replacement of piston rings or cylinders are essential to maintain optimal engine performance.
