A 'reciprocating engine' is just another name for a piston engine as opposed to a jet. Technically, the engine works just like the one in your car, with a piston moving in and out of a cylinder. The difference may be that the aircraft engine may have it's cylinders arranged in a circle ( radial engine) but the action is just the same.
A bent engine piston is a reference to the piston rod. The piston cannot be bent, but the piston rod can be bent.

Running an engine with broken piston rings will cause damaging scoring in the piston chamber, and is not to be recommended.
The volume between the engine head and piston when the piston is in the head dead center piston R - is expressed in cubic inches
pretty much like any engine. piston goes up, fuel explodes, piston goes down, etc. Every 240 degrees of rotation a spark ignites a fuel mix and makes it go roundy round.
Airplane is a device powered either by a piston engine and prop or by a jet engine.
