Confines the expanding gases and forms the combustion chamber
Cylinder
Forms a cover on one end of the cylinder
Cylinder Head
Covers the other end of the cylinder, slides the cylinder to transmit the force of the expansion to the connecting rod and drives the crankshaft into motion
Piston
Tight seal against the cylinder wall
Piston rings
Transmits power of combustion from piston to crankshaft
connecting rod
reciprocating motion of piston to rotary motion
crank plus 2 bearing supports
crankshaft
store energy (power stroke) gives energy (idle stroke) uniform rotation
Flywheel
Open and close ports into and out of combustion chamber
