I have a question: exactly what causes the piston to come back after the intake/power stroke? Let me write what I guess I have understood -

1. The intake stroke piston movement may be considered to be caused by gravity and/or atmospheric pressure

2. The power stroke piston movement may be considered to be caused by gravity and/or atmospheric pressure and/or the expansion due to explosion all taken together

Correct me if I am wrong.

But what baffles me is this: what causes the piston movement during the compression stroke and exhaust stroke? Any expert here to enlighten me on this?

edit: typo
