Best Answer

to create combustion inside the combustion chamber. the piston goes up on its compression stroke inside the cylinder and thats when the gas and air are crushed. when air is compressed, it heats up and all we need is a slight spark to ignite the mixture. when its ignited it explodes outward and pushes the piston down, creating a force we can use along the camshaft.
