Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The functions of the following are as follows:

1). Oil Rings:

  • Regulates oil within cylinder walls.
  • Helps to keep cylinder walls lubricated
  • Prevent Heat transfer
  • Reduce friction between piston and cylinder

2). Fly Wheel:

  • It is used to store rotational energy
  • It resist any change in rotational speed due to its moment of inertia
  • It helps to control the orientation of the mechanical system

3). Timing gears:

  • It provides synchronization in the rotation of crankshaft and the camshaft so as to provide proper valve opening and closing time during each cylinder's stroke(intake and exhaust).
