Abstract
A galleryless piston and method of construction provide a piston body forged from a single piece of material having an upper combustion surface extending around a longitudinal center axis along which the piston reciprocates for exposure to a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. The upper combustion surface has an asymmetric geometry relative to a center plane extending along the central longitudinal axis in generally perpendicular relation to a pin bore axis.
