Some heat from the combustion chamber goes out in the exhaust, but some gets conducted from the cylinder walls into the water jacket (liquid cooling). In an air cooled engine, heat is conducted into the fins and ultimately convected and radiated to the environment. If that did not happen, the engine would quickly overheat. That could cause it to sieze, or the fuel could preignite, basically throwing the ignition timing way, way off and the engine would stop.

Which can conduct electricity metals or non-metals?

Metals can conduct electricity because they have free electrons that can move easily between atoms, allowing electricity to flow. Non-metals, on the other hand, generally do not conduct electricity well because they do not have free electrons available for conduction.
