if your talking about the cycle in order it goes
piston is rising exaust gases mixed with air goes into chamber(through a special 1 way valvein cylinder) then it continues to rise compressing the charge of gases the sparkpug fires causing the piston to go down releasing the exhuast gas and pushing the new charge of gas and air into the top through the 1 way valve to top then starts cycle again. the "special" valve im talking about is hard to explain get a picture and look at that on howstuffworks.com
