Not bad, except for this part "If you flipped a piston upside down and tried to drop it into the cylinder bore from above, it wouldn’t fit. How can that be? The sides of a piston aren’t straight from top to bottom. "
If the cylinder is bored straight then the piston will go through fron either direction.

Lulz that's the dumbest ive heard all day! :) aswell as

" Then, as you would expect, it is thrust back upwards by the circular motion of the crank—where it is greeted by another explosion."
