The Total distance that the piston moves from the top of the cylinder to the bottom Stroke
Circular piece of metal that's split at one point Piston Ring
Stage 1 of Engine: air that has been mixed with fuel is drawn into the cylinder Intake

The piston requires four strokes to complete one full engine cycle Four-stroke Engine
The Total distance that the piston moves from the top of the cylinder to the bottom of the cylinder Piston Stroke
The Process of burning the air-and-fuel mixture in the cylinder Combustion
Bottom of the cylinder BDC
Top of the cylinder TDC
Is the volume of space that the piston must travel from the very bottom of its path to the very top of its path Engine Displacement
