As a core component of the internal combustion engine, the piston reciprocates within the cylinder bore, compressing the air-fuel mixture before ignition and transmitting combustion forces through the connecting rod to the crankshaft. It works together with piston rings to maintain proper sealing, manage oil control, and withstand high temperatures and pressures associated with engine operation.
