well the piston runs up and down the bore, but halfway up the bore are a couple of holes (these are the fuel inlets as they are a little non complicated engine unlike a real car engine) if the piston expands too much it catches on these holes anf fcuks evrythin up!!!
thanks what u meant

inlets as in where the fuel comes in, if you run an engine like that too harsh then the pistin expands and catches on the fuel inlets
