What is the purpose of honing a cylinder when replacing a piston?

By honing the cylinder you establish a shallow criss-cross pattern which helps with keeping the cylinder and piston lubricated as the oil film will cling better to the cylinder walls. It also remove/smoothen the groove often left where the piston change direction.

Why cylinder's are used in car?

basically cylinders are fitted with the pistons used in the engine of a motor vehicle. these pistons are been used for the combustion of the fuel and its purpose is to transfer force from expanding gas in the cylinder to the crankshaft via a piston rod and/or connecting rod. In a pump, the function is reversed and force is transferred from the crankshaft to the piston for the purpose of compressing or ejecting the fluid in the cylinder. In some engines, the piston also acts as a valve by covering and uncovering ports in the cylinder wall.


How heat energy is converted into work energy in a vechile?

Usually by the expansion of a gas (steam, combustion products, etc) which moves a piston within a cylinder (or turns a turbine).


What keeps a piston from tipping in its cylinder?

The piston is prevented from tipping in the cylinder by the piston rings, which provide stability and guidance as the piston moves up and down within the cylinder. Additionally, the piston skirt design and cylinder wall clearance also help to maintain proper alignment of the piston during operation.
