A Four Cylinder in Line, Over Headed Cam Shaft Spark Ignition Engine.

A Piston with piston rings and connecting rods. Three views showing the action in an engine cylinder. (A) The piston in the metal plug that fits snugly into the cylinder. (B) When the piston is pushed up into the cylinder, air-fuel mixer is trapped and compressed. (C) When the compressed air fuel mixture is ignited by a spark, the high pressure pushes the piston down in the cylinder. Piston and piston rings, Top, rings separated and above the piston. Bottom, piston rings installed in grooves in the piston. Piston is attached to the connecting rod by the piston pin. Only the upper part of the connecting rod is shown. crank shaft with one piston and connecting rod assembly, showing how the piston is attached, through the connecting rod, to the crankpin on the crankshaft. Piston and connecting rod assembly attached to a crankpin on a crankshaft. The piston is partly cut away to show how the piston pin attaches it to the connecting rod
