Full Skirt Piston at George Truchanas blog

Full Skirt Piston. And unlike a full round piston, the land area is often designed to add guidance to the slipper skirt piston. This design is still used on truck and large commercial engines, but has long been replaced on cars and motorcycles by a lighter design known as a slipper piston. Full skirts and slipper skirts. The most basic is a full skirt or solid skirt, which is the classic tubular shaped piston. When searching for pistons, you’ll find two basic types of piston skirts are common: Full skirting is useful where combustion pressures and thrust loading are extremely high, as seen in a diesel engine. The skirt length and skirt contact area of a modern slipper skirt type piston are much reduced compared to earlier “full round” piston design. Full skirting is useful where combustion pressures and thrust loading are extremely high as in a diesel engine. The slipper skirt has a smaller contact area with the cylinder wall, but the initial forging can also be made lighter than a full skirt piston (piston lightening is another matter).
