The indicated power of a four stroke engine (in watts) is equal to (where P = Mean effective pressure in N/m², L = Length of stroke in metres, A = Cross-sectional area of the piston in m², and N = Speed of the engine in revolutions per second (r.p.s)
Maintains a seal and prevents escape of burned gases and oil leakage
Lubricates the cylinder wall by releasing oil from its hole
Keeps the cylinder wall lubricated by holding oil in its channel
Prevents engine oil from going into the combustion chamber and returns excess lubricating oil off the cylinder wall through the return holes in the piston to the oil pan
