Best Answer

engines cease because, it is our misconception that the cylinder of the engine is cylindrical,in actual the cylinder walls are slightly slanting.

and th diameter of the piston is a bit less than that of the cylinderwalls,which is known as clearance,,which is formulated for the smooth running of piston,,but when the temperature inside the cylinder increases above a certain level,the walls of the cylinder and the piston expands.but the expansion ratio is different for both,,as the cylinder is made of cast iron and piston with aluminium,which decreases the gap to certain level that there is no movement of piston,which is called as ceasinf of engine.
