Yes, a scratched piston will cause problems with compression. It scratches the cylinder wall and causes wear on the rings.

What does a piston do in a combustion engine?
A piston is attached to a piston rod in a combustion engine. It compresses the air in the cylinder block and that air ignites when fuel is injected into the block, giving the car power.
What is combustion in vehicle?
when the piston and valve meet the fuel is compressed and with spark you have combustion
How does piston get power to rotate the crankshaft?
From the combustion of air and fuel in the combustion chamber.
Does the piston ring effect the catalytic converter?
If the rings are worn and oil is entering the combustion chamber then yes it can destroy a catalytic converter one time.
In a typical automotive engine the piston contains?
Oil rings Combustion rings Piston rod Piston rop cap
What makes piston move against gravity?
In the combustion process, the explosion pushes the piston down
What you mean by Stroke in internal-combustion?
A stroke in an internal combustion engine is when a piston moves up or down.
Compression ratio of the internal combustion engine is defined as?
The compression ratio of an internal-combustion engine, or an IC engine as it is more commonly called, is the ratio of the volume the highest capacity of the combustion chamber to its lowest capacity. In the IC engine, the piston makes a stroke, resulting in the compression of the air in the combustion chamber - the ratio between the volume of the cylinder and combustion chamber when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, and the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at the top of its stroke, is the compression ratio.
What is the difference between a Gas turbine engine ignition system and a piston engine ignition system?
Main difference is that in a gas turbine, combustion is continuous. In a piston engine, combustion is pulsed.
What is the function of a piston rod?
It connects the piston to whatever the design calls for the piston to push or pull on. In a combustion engine, the piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, turning linear reciprocating motion into rotary motion.
Difference between internal combustion engines and steam engines?
Internal combustion engine is where the fuel is ignited in the cylinder to make the piston move, petrol or diesel. A steam engine has an external pressure vessel to supply the steam to the cylinder to push the piston. the is no combustion in the engine as such.
