∙ 7y agoThe split or gap in a piston ring is called the ring end gap. It allows for the ring to expand and contract with changes in temperature during engine operation, ensuring a proper seal against the cylinder wall.
Piston effort refers to the force exerted by a piston in an engine as it moves up and down within a cylinder. It is a measure of the resistance that the piston encounters as it compresses air or fuel mixture during the power stroke and exhaust gases during the exhaust stroke. Proper piston effort is important for achieving optimal engine performance and efficiency.
A piston rod connects the piston to the crankshaft in an engine, transmitting the force from the expanding gas to the crankshaft to generate motion. A connecting rod connects the piston to the crankshaft, converting the linear motion of the piston into rotational motion to drive the crankshaft. In summary, the piston rod is part of the piston assembly, while the connecting rod is part of the crankshaft assembly in an engine.
Each up or down movement of a piston in an internal combustion engine is called a stroke. The four strokes in a typical engine cycle are intake, compression, power (or combustion), and exhaust.
A dead weight piston gauge is named as such because it uses weights to create a known force on a piston. The term "dead weight" refers to the weights that are placed on top of the piston to apply pressure, and "piston" refers to the component that moves within the gauge to measure pressure.
The up and down movement of a piston is called reciprocating motion. This motion is essential in internal combustion engines where the reciprocating motion of the pistons converts the pressure created by burning fuel into rotational motion to drive the vehicle.
Completely UP. Its called Top Dead Center (TDC)
Piston is the device with a cup like shape that fit completely in the Cylinder.
The upper face of a piston assembly is called the crown or piston crown. It is the top surface of the piston that comes into contact with the combustion gases during the engine's operation.
The distance a piston travels within the cylinder is called the stroke. It is the distance between the top dead center (TDC) and the bottom dead center (BDC) positions of the piston.

The piston rod is more usually called the con rod or connecting rod. It is connected at the top end to the piston with what is called a wrist pin. (The wrist pin is a cylinder of steel that slides through the side of the piston and through the top hole in the connecting rod.) At the bottom end the connecting rod mates up to the crankshaft. There is what is called a rod cap that goes on the bottom of the connecting rod to hold that rod onto the journal of the crankshaft. The connecting rod's purpose is to transfer downward and upward thrust between the piston and crank. The combustion of fuel drives the piston down to the crankshaft were it is converted to rotary force which drives your wheels. The wrist pin, is called a piston pin or gudgeon pin in the UK. The hole in the con-rod is commonly called the small or little end, and the other end where the cap holds it to the crankshaft is the big end.
A slotted piston is a piece of equipment for a vehicle that has slots. These types of pistons are usually found in race bikes.
In a 2 stroke engine the piston itself is the intake/exhaust valve, instead of having separate valves as in the 4 stroke. The odd shape of the piston is the location of these valves.

The piston will usually be a few degrees before top center.
