I wonder what the purpose of putting the piston tops at an angle.  very interesting.

It keeps the fluid level in a cylinder shape... That way you don't have this little amount of gasoline on this side of the cylinder.. make sense?

The purpose of an internal combustion engine is to burn the fuel and air.  I am pretty sure if you don't burn it, boom, sorry charlie.  next guess?

Think about it.... It will have an even amount of fluid in a cylinder shape... yea it explodes, but it has to be an even amount all around within the cylinder

but the problem with that is it will have a more sideways push on the piston than a flat one with a directly downward force.

I am willing to bet if they leved it out, it would probably work better, considering it would make a larger volume, and therefore more power.

DD look at the pic if the piston was flat they would have less of the force being used to turn the crank. Instead the pistons would be pushed into the cylinder wall. With the angled pistons the force of the combustion is pushing directly down on the piston turning the crank instead of causing more friction.

each bank uses a single cylinder head, therefore the pistons have to have a 15 degree bevel to keep the deck surface flat. otherwise you'd be dealing with a head that has a 15 degree angle down the middle, which would lie directly in some of the cylinders, so it would have to alternate back and forth, and be very expensive and hard to get them to seal... think about it...

if they were just flat you could get very little compression, as the squish would be normal on one side and huge on the other, it wouldn't work at all.

I don't agree with OL, but Petey helped me understand it a lot better last night.
