The document discusses the piston and piston rings components of a cylinder block. The piston reciprocates inside the cylinder and transmits energy to the crankshaft through the connecting rod. It is made of aluminum alloy 4652 due to its low specific gravity and is manufactured through casting. Piston rings maintain a pressure-tight seal between the piston and cylinder walls and transfer heat from the piston head to the cylinder walls. The rings are fitted into grooves cut into the piston and are split at one end to expand or slip over the piston end.
