Gas enters your engines combustion chambers and combines with air, when the piston comes up your spark plug fires and ignites the gas. When the gas explodes it pushes the piston back down, which turns the crankshaft that then turn the transmission that turns the driveshaft turning the tires, which are on the road, that make you go.
A) water in the gas tank B) fried piston rings C) long term engine neglect
fuel pump
In an engine, the piston's go up and the valve's that are adjacent to that piston go up. When the piston goes down the adjacent valves go down. This is achieved by the timing belt or chain and the engine timing being set correctly. If the belt or chain breaks, the pistons still go up and down, but the valve's stop moving. On a non clearance engine, the piston will go up and hit the valves, resulting in bent valves and a now needed head job. In a clearance engine, the top of the piston has an inset cut into it that is just enough room to avoid hitting the valves.
An opposed piston engine is a single-acting engine. All modern gasoline and diesel engines are single-acting. The single-acting engine receives force on one side of the piston, and relies on the engine to push the piston back the other way. On an opposed engine like a Continental or Lycoming, the piston on the other side of the engine will do the pushing. A double-acting engine, which almost always means a steam engine, receives force on both sides of the piston. Since they run horizontally, when the piston is to the right the engine will send steam to push it to the left and when it's to the left the engine will send steam to push it to the right. A slide valve decides which side of the piston the steam will go to.
in a steel container, put a piston on top. Then have some gas and ignition part. put the gas in, ignite in once in a while. the explosion will push away the pistons and it will come back down in a redundant action. this up and down motion will create a revolving motion where it will make wheels run. This is an engine.

The gasoline is avoided to go into the oil by few piston rings placed on the piston of the engine. Actually, the piston rings are made for this purpose only.
The working principle in an engine is to compress gasoline in a mixture with air in the piston chamber and ignite it with a spark that comes from the spark plug. When the fuel is ignited the preassure makes the piston go back down.This up and down movements of the pistons make the engine move the transmition to move the wheels for movement.
It refers to an engine where the area occupied by the valves when they are open is occupied by the piston when the valves are closed. If the timing belt lets go while the engine is running the piston will smash the open valves doing loads of damage.
Need to know the make, model, year, and what engine it has in order to be able to answer this. The piston for a Ford Windstar, Dodge Caravan, and Chevy Astro are all different products, and will all have a different price tag to go with them.
In the engine case. They are attached to piston rods and go up and down.
