Abstract

In a two-cycle internal combustion engine (10), the piston (20) has an outer peripheral oval shape (58) with a minor axis (62) offset from the centerline (54) of the wrist pin (26) towards a line (56) through the intake and exhaust ports (16 and 18). The outer peripheral shape of the piston also has increasing ovality, from at least the wrist pin (26) upwardly to at least the piston rings (22, 24).
