New Engines Force New Pistons – Stock & Performance Piston Technology

摘要

The driving force behind stock and performance piston technology advances has always been the desire to develop lighter, stronger, more durable pistons. Lighter reduces reciprocating mass so the engine can accelerate faster and rev higher with less stress on the connecting rods and crankshaft. Stronger is necessary if you make the pistons lighter so they can withstand the loads that are placed upon them. Durable is a must for pistons that have to last under demanding racing conditions or for tens of thousands of miles on the street.
