Yeah I tried stealing one off google.  :roll:

Theyre 4 stroke pistons for gas motors, but ... theyve moved the skirt support inward right to where your slicing the linear window.

Ummm stolen image? :evil:



Having the support there makes the piston strong enough you can make a 4.350 bore bbc piston weigh 740 grams which is sbc stock piston weight, point being theres gotta be alot of load going on in that area of the piston.



if I only had a pair, I could actually ride this thing

I like the skirt bracing.    but the deletion of the side skirts on the K5 motor would cause PROBLEMS

You better.
I'd love to see another member walk away with a new land speed record.
And, if you need a test pilot I'm available....
Getting to old to hold it wide open over the rough stuff for very long but I have no problem with high speed wobbles on the smooth stuff  :-D
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

So I'd only have to loose 115 lb?

Just structural integrity was all I was looking at, as far as where you had the linear ports marked, the exact location modern pistons carry their load.

 I'm already in utah, & only weigh 167  :-D

And, what's the deal?
New cylinder?
New 6 windowed piston?
Ceramic bearings?
Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen mixing chambers?
High-power impulse magnetron sputtering coated cooling system?
We gotta know.... :-o

Don't really know.... Shaking the tree and seeing what comes out  :-)
