ive seen people use pistons as shifter knobs, bit smaller, maybe closer to the size of a 250 piston, make that out of multi metals and that would be cool like a 3 piece design with faux rings a copper top, brass/bronze skirt and aluminum "rings" like, half way in the oil ring is where the material changes or somthing, also a wrist pin made of polished chrome would look nice too

this would be super fun to watch with a full set of each piston (steel, aluminum, copper, brass, bronze and heat treated to somewhat harden them so the wrist pins don't go oval shaped on the piston) in a diesel and petrol and see if you run them with lightened or no flywheel. eg. diesel engine with fat heavy pistons and a very light or no flywheel.

Flywheels keep a constant rotation, they help smooth out the power pulses while pistons are forced to move up and down. With heavier pistons you would need a heavier flywheel to overcome the weight of the pistons, or else it would vibrate terribly bad and constantly want to die.
@DarkAttack14

Combination of these materials to make one pistol like use a copper plate on top body with aluminium and connecting pin with brass.

This is an excellent example of what happens when an engine is unbalanced/imbalanced You have my utmost respect for testing this idea!

Very interesting results. I was really amazed it took full throttle as long as it did! That was a really cool experiment good job manufacturing your own Pistons. And no we know.❤

G'day, My father started work in 1923, in his father's Blacksmith's Shop. In 1948 he bought an Offset-Chuck Crankshaft-Grinder, Having become an Engine Reconditioner. In the 1960s I watched him cast a set of new Pistons for a Fordson Tractor, when no New Spares were available. He used to keep a wooden box a metre square & half a metre deep, full of old discarded Pistons - as a source of Aluminium for the remelting. Because there's more metal in the Skirt than the Gudgeon-Pin Supports, And because the extra metal means Extra Expansion as the metal heats up, Dad had a setup to Cam- Grind the Pistons, into Eliptical Section - removing metal from the Thicker sections of the Skirts. Then, instead of Expanding out of Round & Siezing up, The Eliptical Pistons Expanded to Become Circular, and thus could cope with Australian conditions. Cossack Motorcycles imported into Sydney used to need to have their Pistons pulled and Cam-Ground to render the Bikes useable in Australia. Otherwise they used to seize up after about 10 miles riding. Why is it that Russians Dunno About Cam-Grinding Pistons ? One Wonders. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

Jim Sim...this is a good add for Lada s I would never have believed this engine could stand the off balance and weight differences between cylinders and crank balance differences between all top and bottom piston balance...

A friend of mine had a Lada back in the late seventies. It was a little crude but the engine was tough and reliable. I wish I had one now.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking about the piston weights being different.
