Title: Piston and rod assembly with displacement features

Abstract: An improved piston and rod assembly that can be readily disassembled at several places so that the entire assembly need not be necessarily removed from an engine during servicing, and which includes dismantleable bearings around a cross pin about which the piston is pivotally supported on the piston rod, and a dismantleable bearing that supports the piston rod on a crankshaft, and shims being placable behind the bearing blocks so to selectively change a length of piston stroke within a cylinder.
