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.


How does piston get power to rotate the crankshaft?

From the combustion of air and fuel in the combustion chamber.


What is combustion in vehicle?

when the piston and valve meet the fuel is compressed and with spark you have combustion


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.

What makes piston move against gravity?

In the combustion process, the explosion pushes the piston down


Piston in an engine is what class of lever?

A piston in an engine functions as a class 1 lever. The piston moves up and down inside the cylinder, converting the pressure from the combustion process into mechanical energy that drives the engine. The force from the expanding gases acts on the piston (effort), which then creates a turning effect on the crankshaft (load).


What is an open combustion chamber?

An open combustion chamber is a type of combustion chamber found in some internal combustion engines where the combustion area is not fully enclosed by the piston and cylinder head. This design allows for better airflow and mixing of air and fuel for combustion.


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.
